Yep!,.....it's all in their minds!. If you had a cow tongue or bloody side of beef lying in the freezer it would be no different. Their minds cannot overcome the irrational thought of the picture depicted in their minds about what the frozen items are...simple as that. I have had people unwrap a frozen rodent in the freezer and have the same reaction.

Same thing with slamming a live rodent against the concrete floor very swiftly to quickly dispatch it without it having to suffer at all. I don't give this sort of thing a second thought, because you have to do what you have to do, but the general public off the street generally grossed-out bigtime by the thought of this. What people don't see, they don't ever think about, just like they don't think about what actually goes on in a slaughter house for the meat that goes on their own plates.

This beats the heck out of the animal suffering from being constricted by the snake, but most folks don't think rationally about MANY things that go on in this world.

For example, how the heck can you be scared to death at the sight of a tiny little cute cornsnake hatchling??. I will never understand it, so I don't even bother!..LOL!

To be quite honest, I think most of the general public are idiots anyway. This is proven to me on a daily basis.
