Saw this on the yahoo news and couldn't believe all the hubub...

rat for dinner

Hmmmm, legal to poison them and let them die a cruel death. Leagel to place snap traps to kill them quick, classified as vermine but oh no, can't off one to eat it?

Let me think, I kill how many rats per week to feed my collection..... Multiplied by 3 years per rat, sounds like a life sentence every week for me!!!

understand what you saying Dave, yeah they vermin, yeah we feed to our snakes.
But it does piss me off a little, when they kill the animals just for TV.
Bear Grylls is a good example of that as well, ive seen him eat a live snake. I just dont get it

I can see justifying the killing of an animal for educational purposes, but not for some wannabe UK celebrity tv show. A Life is still a life.
