Reptile & Amphibian Forums

this is only for the sake of discussion. i'm 15 and realize i'd have to be fricken nuts to get a venomous/venomoid.
i'm a snake addict and love learning about reptiles so i take this as another opertunity. when done coreclt by a vet who knows what he's doing, via, he knows the correct anatomy of the snake, and goes the whole 9 yards with pain killers, proper anesthetics, and pain meds for after the procedure, would that really be classified as butchering? putting an animal through an unnessesary operation is bad i believe, but as long as its not a "backyard job"( i would really like those idiots to have thier teeth removed with a spoon)is it really evil?
opinions please
remember this is just for discussion and dont go bang on my i'm 15 lol

I completely agree.

If it's done right there isn't anything wrong with it. You aren't depriving it of food, just the method to kill live food. I would own either. De-clawing a cat in your house is similar.

Both are inhumane amputations. At least in my opinion. Declawing a cat is cutting of the first joint on every toe resulting in a change in natural walking. Venomoiding an elective surgery that is never 100 percent, rarely done by a licensed vet and results in AMAZING deformities. It is also never 100 percent that the animal is a venomoid.
