This is really heart breaking as well as disguisting. Who in their right mind would indulge in such a cruel act

Sorry, looked a little old to be a give away, but you are right. I doubt he feeds his "pet"cats. Also picking up free kittens for snake food is even more devious as people that give away kittens usually love them until they are old enough to give away to decent homes. So you are saying he is searching the paper bi monthly for a "free to a loving family" kitten to feed to his snake? What a scumbag you are making this guy out to be.

Nice wordy deflection, how about an answer to what I was asking though?
I know what you are doing, and know what you are arguing, but I don't see why.
If it was just to help people to look at it from a different perspective, that could have been accomplished with one concise post, but you are adamant about making this argument over and over again to the point that it seems you don't see what is wrong or that you are justifying the actions.
It becomes a little annoying at that point, and I would consider it trolling if it wasn't obvious you just want to be viewed as the girl that can "think outside the box." The fact is a lot of us already went there and came back full circle to the original conclusion drawn.
P.S. before you go off on another deflection regarding the "second part" of my post, I would prefer you answer my original question.edit on 4-12-2011 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

OK, for all the wonderfully mature and enlightened adults here that keep calling me a troll and making emotion based arguments all while condemning a complete stranger and even dignosing them let me ask you what I am missing.
The argumenst presented in the thread are
It is cruel because it is a cat and not a mouse.
It is cruel because cats are pets.
It is cruel because cats are domesticated.
It is cruel because it was set up and not natural.
Did I miss anything?
Some people like mice mor than cats, that is not an argument.
Mice are just as much pets to some people are cats are pests to others.
The mice sold in pet stores as pets and food are domesticated just like the cows and chickens that die to feed your dog and your cat.
If he fed the snake any other animal, it would still be set up.
None of those arguments worked so now I am just a troll?
I would rather just be corrected.

Oh, sorry. In that case I'm sure you will make some man or woman very happy one day with your arguing for the sake of arguing.
See what I did there? I upped the politically correct ante to makeup for my lacking earlier.

I just filled in the implication you made with your "ever open a paper" bit with my own real world experience. People get cats from pet stores or from people giving them away (usually hoping they are going to a nice home). I doubt anyone giving a cat away would agree to give it away for snake food.
You know that is true as well. You seem to be in some sort of damage control. Let me let you know, I don't think you advocate this type of thing. I think you wanted to make a very poor "think outside the box" argument and then argued it and defended yourself a little too long.edit on 4-12-2011 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)
