By blazing blizzard lizard, im guessing your refering to a blazing blizzard leopard gecko....
WTF is wrong with you man?
Thats like, a $30+ lizard, why would you use something like that as a feeder? The price alone counts it out- its just not economical for the amount of food your are supplying.
Which means you are just doing it because you like watching an animal die.
What im abit confused about is the last part of your first statement- the part with the "mommy" thing... so are you the mother, letting her child watch in morbid fascination as their animal struggles with an oversized feeder, or are you the unknowing child doing something terrible that your parents dont understand properly? Just wondering.
Im a hunter too, but theres a big difference between stalking a deer, turkey, a wild animal capable of escaping/evading you, and a captive bred animal being fed to a monitor like that. What you're doing is sadistic, and you really need to consider getting some therapy.
People dont care about cows and chickens conditions because many are never showed it. If they had it put right there in front of them, THEY FEEL SOMETHING, usually their lunch making its way back up to say hello for a second time. Its the fact that people dont have to see a cow having its head cut off by a giant mechanical blade, or the fact that chickens have their feet and beaks cut off to avoid pre-kill damage. If they did, and if they werent the lazy, ignorant sheep that most Americans are, they would likely become vegetarians, or at least seek humanely killed substitutes- many have.
You try to compare the millisecond(and thats all it is, whether the body continues to move or not- the nerve stream is broken, which means it literally cannot feel anything anymore, period) of pain/fear/terror a mouse might feel as a result of the neck-break killing method, to the long, drawn out, often terribly bloody/phsyically damaging process that occurs when a monitor takes a live food source.
Theres no comparing that mate, im sorry there just friggin isnt- you cant compare less than a second of fear and no pain, with minutes on end of unbelieveable pain, extreme terror and the end result being a still half-alive mouse being swallowed to end its life in the acidic belly of a large lizard.
Yet you yourself claim you think the neck-break method "brutal".. ok, logically, that makes no sense.... you say you find it "brutal" but you would rather feed the animal still living to your monitor, so it can feel the creatures teeth puncture its skin, feel its bones being broken, etc....
You need to understand something- not everyones mind is one track like yours.
By this i mean, you seem to think that everyone in the world shares your same reasoning for owning a monitor- THEY DONT.
You own a monitor, like many jackasses, to have a predator in your home.... but, like most, youre too poor or too much of a coward to own a large predator... so you turn to things like monitors and snakes.
I dont own my animal because I like watching it KILL [bleep].... and I know there are many others that feel the same way.
You're very right, you arent PC material.... you're PsyC material, Psych ward material to be exact.
Im not gonna sit here and argue with you- it wont change anything.
But I will say this: theres something wrong here, with you and nothing more. The good thing about humans, prolly the only good thing about them, is their ability to show compassion and kindness to others, including "lesser" beings. When you lose that compassion, you lose what makes you a good human....
Just something you should think on.
