'man' feeds kitten to his pet snake

Flibster · 3 Dec 2011 at 21:44

Where's the problem? I've eaten cat and dog, and I'd hapilly do it again.

Just because it's cute and appears to have a personality it's deemed a taboo...
Like cow's don't have feelings, but they're useful and tasty, but not cute, so it's acceptable.

Ate them alive did you?

Yep... problem?

Sicko?
Do people who feed live animals to pets sick? Or just when it's a cute fluffy animal that gets eaten.
But mice and other things are fine.

Oh please, don't try and play devil's advocate for the sake of it.

Can't bring myself to watch the vid, I saw this post on a different forum: "Whoever said future serial killer is correct, I have just seen his other video where he wraps a larger cat (possibly the parent of this kitten as they look the same) in clingfilm around a brush handle and drowns it in a bath". Is this true?

Clum · 3 Dec 2011 at 22:48

That video of him drowning one in a bath is actually pretty horrible. Got no problem with killing/death of animals when there is a good reason, but this guy is clearly just about killing for entertainments sake. Obviously now nothing to do with feeding a snake. Clearly a screwed up individual and needs some help (or tied to a stick and dipped in a cold bath).

jaybrock · 3 Dec 2011 at 23:16

So that vid of drowning a cat is real. Wasn't sure if it was true. I agree, this is a sick individual and needs help. If he (she?) had wanted to do it just to feed the snake he would've hardly made a vid and posted it online with the promise of more to come. He's probably going to find some disgusting way to kill the snake soon.

Feed it to kittens.

I watched the videos out of my own morbid curiosity and really wished I hadn't.

Not sure what to say. I certainly couldn't do it. It all seemed so unnecessary and unfair.

I think that's the key here, unnecessary.

Before all of the apologists for the sicko start, it's the law of the jungle rhetoric etc, if that's the case then why try and domesticate a snake in the first place.

The killing isn't an issue to me, it's all a natural process.

The sad thing here is the fact that the kitten has been bred to be homed as a pet, not as food & that potential has been wasted by this jerk. The cat could have led a full life providing companionship to some old lady or something

I also feel sorry for the original owner who sold it to him

The thing is, it's not natural at all. A python was acquired by a man and placed in a bedroom. A kitten was also acquired by a man and placed in the room with it. The snake ate the kitten, it was filmed, and then placed on the Internet.

All that is about as unnatural as you can get. Pythons don't feed on kittens naturally!

They act like vermin at times.

So do people whats your point :confused:

As for the little scrote taking pleasure in feeding his python live food, slam his hands multiple times in a car door until they look like sausage meat!

Many people are brought up with rabbits and are disgusted at the thought of using rabbits for food. Should my right to eat rabbits be banned becuase of emotional attachment and no evidence or reason.

And why should I have too ey your emotional attachments. It's not based on any tangiable facts.

Why shouldn't I be allowed to start up a cat farm for sole purpose of food, or horse farm for food. As far as I'm aware both of those are illegal in the uk. What's the resonating or evidence for that. There simply isn't any.

That is how our legal system works...

Laws are passed by elected politicians who are influenced by a public who are in turn influenced by any manner of illogical emotions/beliefs.

Trying to rant about the fact that some things which are illegal aren't logical and only based on human emotions/beliefs is rather pointless....

Laws against prostitution, gay marriage, fox hunting, blasphemy laws, Sunday trading laws, banning cannabis but allowing tobacco - lots of laws are in place based mostly on beliefs/morals held by particular groups.

It doesn't matter what the animal was.

The killin was most likely unnecessary and considering that the kitten suffered a great deal, I'd day that that constituted unease wary suffering.

If the snake had killed the cat in the wild I'd haven't problem, but as mentioned earlier, the normal prey for thins are herbivores so essentially force feeding it a carnivore is just stupid. The fact that this person essentially killed the cat for entertainment is what disturbs me the most. If the cat was the cheapest and easiest prey, then I wouldn't have seen a problem with it (providing it wasn't filmed)

Glaucus, so are you saying that attachments that are purely emotional shouldn't be recognised in the law? Then what if someone did strangle and eat your kid? Someone asked you earlier. I'd not think you gave an answer.

In the wild it would have run, plain and simple.

In this video, it's (for some reason ) put in a santa hat, in an enclosed area, being distracted so that the snake can pounce without the cat having any opportunity to get away.

The argument that "this would happen in the wild", is also stupid because of this.

Yes it would happen in the wild, and frankly, I have no problem with that - that's life. This is a domesticated animal (commonly known as a pet), being led to slaughter.

This.

It's not so much what happened, but more the way in which this was done that is disturbing.

Lightnix · 4 Dec 2011 at 01:02

I hope he tries to feed it a mongoose.

Nitefly · 4 Dec 2011 at 01:13

An animal eating an animal isn't shocking, but the fact that the video was made to disturb with its 'christmas' theme etc really is pretty sick. If I find out who that man is I'm going to hide in his room and eat him.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, SNAKE MAN?!

Lightnix · 4 Dec 2011 at 01:30

Also: serious post. I know for a fact that kittens are killed in a cruel fashion on a regular basis - frequently newborns are drowned if a litter is deemed too big by certain people. Naturally I find that rather abhorrent but it's not something that's on the forefront of my mind all the time. What is disgusting about this is that the man is clearly doing it for entertainment value, which is inherently wrong. Just in the same way that bullfighting is wrong.

Anybody who tries to justify it to themselves that "well he's just feeding his snake, circle of life man" is completely deluding themselves. That isn't what is happening here. He has a snake, and he's just using it as a method of execution for these kittens. That's not the same as using kittens as food for his snake. If he were doing the same to rats or locusts, I'd still find it disgusting. I accept that pets have to be fed and some may even only eat live food, but you shouldn't use it as a cheap way to shock people for entertainment value.

The reactions of some people here are quite moronic.

That guy is an extremely cruel and sadistic person, he really doesn't deserve the gift of life based on his actions.

There is a very clear line between a domesticated pet and livestock. Yes, they're all living and yes, it's pretty sad that any of them have to die but the situations are so incredibly different it's ridiculous for some of you to draw the comparisons that you are.

What he did is akin to buying a pet bird or <insert pet animal here> and feeding it to his pet cat or <insert pet animal here>. That isn't acceptable, it doesn't matter what the animals are, it's just not acceptable.

Cats do try to kill live things, as do dogs, they're descendants of natural predators, it's part of their instinct. Owners of these animals don't tend to let them kill other domesticated animals for fun or any other reason.

These stories of extreme cruelty to domesticated animals get massive attention and conjure up a great deal of emotion because most of us are compassionate living creatures that generally care for other living things which are our responsibility, reliant on us and/or within our care.

For many people farming brings out the same or similar emotions, but less people are affected by something like farming compared with say, feeding a pet kitten to a snake for example, or putting a kitten in a microwave and cooking it, or restraining a cat and then drowning it etc.

Simply put, there is a difference and that difference matters. No one should really enjoy killing another living thing, particularly one that cannot defend itself, is powerless against us or completely reliant on our care.
