I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, gerbils, squirrels, chipmunks, hamsters, rats, ferret, lizard, and snakes for pets. All of them at some point has killed another animal, because that is nature! I buy and feed frozen rats to my pet boa constrictor who was born in captivity and is a pet as much as my pet dogs. The fact is all animals, unless they are vegetarians eat other animals! I love my snake just as much as I do my dog! A dog can do just as much physical damage as a snake! That does not make me a whacko!!

In fact, any animal with forward facing eyes is a predator. Are you suggesting these are all unacceptable as pets? I do agree that humans should not be kept as pets, tho. Way too much trouble!

A teenage boy came by & asked if we had free kittens. I went through the usual line of adoption fees & contracts, & he answered "Oh, never mind, I just need some free ones to feed to my snake". A new one on me, but now I know it's out there. Years ago I was showing homeless pets up for adoption at a pet store for a small local shelter. A teenage boy came by & asked if we had free kittens.

Why are animal welfare groups silent on this subject? The most common casualties of these snakes are cats and kittens...people's beloved pets.
