I guess it just bothers me when people see that as entertainment. Sure, I think it's educational and great, but I just don't see the whole "natural" argument when a snake is in a glass box, with a UTH, eating a domestic rat/mouse. Not to mention the majority of the people I see/have met that do use live food are incredibly rude to me when I ask about the f/t thing. One person who feed live guinea pigs to their burmese even said once "I use g. pigs because their scream sounds more like a child." Another guy I knew (thankfully, he lives hundreds of miles away now, and his snake was taken from him,) used to get "free to good home" kittens and puppies because he "loved the show."

I agree that the humans are the monsters. But I think if people are to keep snakes, and any animal for that matter, in captivity, then they should be treated as captive animals. But, this is just my opinion...once upon a time I used to believe that snakes and birds were two animals that never should be in captivity...I"m still learning.

And a side note about people with lots of snakes, many of the ones I have talked to actually do euth. the animals before feeding, but don't freeze them. CO2 chambers can be made to euth. a large amount. So not everyone with large amounts of snakes feed live.
