I didn't watch it either. I did however see this guys first video. Unfortunately.
The fact is it just didn't need to be. It was so the cat would suffer and not to just feed the snake.
And come on.. you know what happens when any type of animal kills a person right?

LOL.. if you can honestly agree with that analogy and think it is relevant to this argument than I've been paying you compliments in earlier posts.

Predators should not be kept as pets?!!!!
What then is a cat, a dog? predators!!
Really?
Also cat lovers, cats as pointed out, rarely live in the wild so most are domesticated, still cats kill and often. They kill rodents, lizards and birds...and then NOT eat them!!!
Did the guy tied the cat up? beat it? did any kind of harm to it before letting the python eat it? No? Then the cat was NOT abused. The same if it was a mouse.

The point is, you ingrate, that he could've went and bought feeder rats that were just as big if not bigger, and would've satisfied the python just as much.
Instead, this sick f**k who probably gets off on fingering children and stomping ferrets and then masterbating in their blood, puts on a santa hat and makes a video because he know it will draw an emotional response.
You know, they say people who get off on killing animals are most likely to have the same instincts to kill humans.
edit: the rats are bred specifically for the purpose of feeding the snake. that is their purpose. just like feeder mice, feeder fish.
scientists experiment on rats all the time... not that its humane or anything, but animal rights abuses go on everywhere. sick bastards need to be called out. china..edit on 12/4/2011 by smarterthanyou because: (no reason given)

It wasn't so much that the snake ate the kitten that is disgusting, or that the kitten was eaten by the snake... such is the way of life. What I have a problem with, and many others would agree, is that the intentions of this guy were wicked, thus the whole thing is disgusting. He could have easily fed the thing a rat or something, but he chose a kitten (and recorded it, by the way) just to amuse himself and stir up others. That, my friends, is sick.

The difference being that we have changed the cow, the dog and the cat to be completely dependant on us, and changed their very nature.
A few thousand years ago there were no such things as housecats roaming north america. Neither were pythons. That is why it seems completely un natural.

No matter how much you try to justify this mans actions you are very much wrong. What this guy did was absolutely disgusting. It was the equivalent of feeding a baby to a wild african crocadile.
Dogs and cats are domesticated animals that do not live in the wild. So no they cannot be grouped in with wild predators

It's been said already but I'm going to weigh in here because so many of you people disgust me. If it's in the wild then it's fine, no problem. If the snake gets out in the house and finds the cat and eats it, fine, no problem. If some sicko holds the cat down to ensure the snake eats it then that's just wrong.
Cats are not a natural food source for the snake, rodents are.
As has been stated, there are rodents out there specifically grown to be food for pet reptiles, just like there are cows and pigs specifically grown to be food for us. This is inexcusable.edit on 4-12-2011 by mus8472 because: Spelling

What makes this cruel is the kitten was a pet, and bonded to it's human owners.

I see the idea of feeding a kitten to a snake less offensive than eating veal.

However, to feed a kitten and video tape it for one's amusement is really a sadistic act in my opinion....How would you feel if i christmas wrapped one of you, feed you to a LION and videotaped it?

It just tell's me that humanity is off the charts with what it'll do for sick pleasure's like this.
The apathy from the rest is deafening.
If that was my kid he'd be put up for immediate adoption, after having ten-bells of whooping thrashed out of him!
What are the parents doing?!
Have you ever owned a snake?
This may come as a shock to many, but there is a certain sadistic attitude one must have in order to own a snake and feed it.
As an example, a young snake eats mice. Does anyone know what a common practice is when feeding mice to a snake?
The common practice is to grab the mouse by it's tail and smack it's head hard against the wall in order to daze it. This prevents the mouse from biting the snake and causing the snake harm or injury. Not anyone can take a defenseless animal and do that.
Whats interesting is that its just that kind of desensitization to humans that turn them into sadistic killers.

Animals that are found in a similar environment, since when are kittens in the same environment as a python?
