They're so cute when they're angry.

But I would like to add, that I've gotten so used to people talking about "throwing snakes in the fridge" and freezing them, that I've started using the term myself as a euphemism for killing them, even though I wouldn't actually recommend that method. Bad choice of words on my part.

But the thought remains.

Observe the intent: Whoever killed that snake had the intent of ending its life obviously because they couldn't swallow their pride and return it, or they just hated snakes. The method itself is not inhuman when left with no other choice; If she can't access CO2, then decapitation is the quickest and LEAST painful method, as odd as it sounds.

ok point taken....i guess
seems all wrong to me though, still seems like a waste of life

Well, perhaps we could draft some sort of binding document for those willing to provide homes for the snakes, stating that under no circumstances whatsoever are the snakes to leave their possession...

We could throw this topic around for another week, and still never reach a consensus. At the end of the day the choice is Tina's, and she has already decided she won't be euthanizing anything. We should respect her decision and move on.
