You seem to be missing the fact that they are both conscious animals, given to another animal as live food by a human being - when such an activity is not necessary at all. Got nothing to do with how animals eat other animals.
Point is, it is in a captive situation where it's just forced cruelty. There is no predator-prey relationship here. People can just as easily claim to breed kittens for snake food, just as easily as one could say that feeders can actually be pets.
No, pain is not a relative term. It actually has a definition.
Insects lack nociceptors. Once more, there is no conscious element to it because pain is a learning experience and they do not learn.
I don't need to be a vegetarian to abhor mindless cruelty to animals. And our welfare standards as far as farm animals are concerned are high so I don't have a guilt trip when I eat a burger.
Glad to see you're still studying biology in primary school.
I'm a troll because I dared disagree with the might of masterxfob?
I have no problem with breeding kittens for food, they do that with dogs in ROK and they are goddamn delicious.
you aren't making any 'friends' here and aren't convincing people to your point of view either.
do you get your kicks debating on the internet with people you will never meet? is your life so pathetic? everyone here is pretty much shouting 'fail' at you and yet you continue.
seeing as how i've threatened your ego
What do they say about throwing rocks in glass houses? You're judging the NZ media on the basis of a single article on a single website - a website which, by the way, is owned by Rupert Murdoch's company. Compared the all the ridiculously censored American television (we're adults, American Government, we don't mind hearing the odd F bomb) - watching the USA version of Kitchen Nightmares is like watching a single long beep.
How does this have anything to do with America, you stupidass? You sit giving a horrid article about the fucked up things being done to animals in your own country and you still somehow find a way to take a potshot at another country.
Youre a fucking moron. :thumbsdown:

That'd make you quite hypocritical to comment on this issue then. Those baby mice could have potentially been someone's pets, like those kittens could have been. No different really.
I'm not saying not to feed your snake mice, I'm just saying it's ridiculous to be so outraged about feeding kittens to another meat eating animal when you're doing exactly the same thing in principle with the mice to another meat eating mammal.
Much like the person who sees a cow killed for food on TV, getting all "aww they killed the cow, that's an outrage" while tucking into a nice medium rare steak.
Don't get me wrong, what that guy did to the kittens was terrible and he should be punished, BUT you're doing something really similar.
I love the anger and hate in this thread.
Its probably the same anger and hate that kills kittens.
