>>everyone keeps saying humane and killing....dont you understand that the animal rights people wont see a humane way of killing anything...they wont be happy till none of you own snakes and none of you feed them anything...
Precisely. So if they are our opponents, it is only common sense to give them as little ammunition as humanly possible. Stunning is part of that ammunition.
Our wisest tactic will be in two directions. To treat our pets and their food as knowledgeably and humanely as possible. And to help ease the public out of the "EEEEEK! A SNAKE!" mentality, through responsible ownership and education.
We may not be able to reason with the animal rightists, but the public can be be reasoned with, if slowly. And public opinion, is what we can affect and need to.
