Actually the advert from Chic-fil-A is "eat more chicken the cows will thank you for it".

Or how about. "BEEF! Its whats for dinner"

What about all the healthy cows and chickens who are fed diets to insure they grow as fast as possible to be taken to the slaughter house? Veal anyone??

Now a snake is not as healthy for a captive snake because of the possible parasites you can introduce. But that aside this poster has done nothing wrong. If he was trolling to get a reaction then I would have scored it a 2 out of a scale of 1-10. But as it seems this is either a classic troll job (cudos if it is) that should get an 11 in my book or just a guy who thought posting a pic was okay. People frequently post "enjoy" after a pic... Just imagine this poster did troll? SO WHAT! Its everyones responses that made this more than it is.. Imagine if he did troll and sitting back and laughing at the responses. Even if he did he has done nothing wrong . If he has done something morally or ethically wrong will someone please point out what that is?

Snakes are also not pets. AT least not in my definition. My daughter is 3 years old and carrys a stuffed platipus everywhere she goes. She loves her stuffed "baby". Even though her baby will never love her back, I am not going to argue with her because she has the mind of a 3 year old. Grow up folks! This is an adult minded forum and people need to quit attacking and look at themselves before passing judement. These forums are for keeping snakes and to further herptocutural interests. Not a place for tree huggers and people who pet their snakes at in front of the television after dinner. Or think its wrong to feed a hamster to a snake. IMO we should get onto people with mindsets like this that do these things instead of linching the character of a person who knows what he is doing.. Personally I choose not to feed live snakes to another snake. Am I biased? Why? Because I love snakes?.. But that is my preference and nothing else.

*throws another log into the fire*

I am sorry everyone feels sorry for the perfectly healthy cornsnake. But kingsnakes (especially ones from the east coast) prefer snakes. Keepers even have to scent their mice to get them to eat the "unatural" mice as their first meal. This should tell us something. I also know people who are breeding birds for snake chow because they are nutritionally healthier for snakes and are easier and cheaper to breed than mice. I beleive herpetoculture in the future will breed more birds for their animals. They grow faster and eat more readily.
