em no national geographic is not illegal as they don't kill anything, also hunting is not for entertainment it's counted as necessary population control.
also iirc wern't the producers and stars of i'm a celebrity charged with this crime when they killed and ate a rat?
What about videos by snake owners feeding their snakes live rabbits?
The owner of the snake isnt actually killing anything, and whether you feed it live or dead meat, the animal has to be killed anyway. What difference does it make either way?
Erm, no. Hunting is a traditional past time that many people do for enjoyment and social bonding.

its human intervention that changes the entire feeding "act". This is what makes it so wrong.
And yes its is wrong for snake owners to show or to do live feeds of rabbits to snakes.
Seriously what the hell is wrong with you? is your skull that thick?
Sorry I didn't mean to imply you would do it. I'm sure if you look hard enough on the net you'll find the video's.
The actuall video upload was removed very fast, and no it hasnt been mirrored anywhere else, nor can I find or request a link.
1) it's the filming of the act for entertainment of an audience that is the problem, part of banning blood sports.
by this logic me putting a child into a bear enclosure at a zoo should be legal.
as the owner of both the animals the owner of the snake is responsible for their well being.(otherwise you'd be able to argue that dog fighting is legal)
also this guy seems to be from england so i have no idea why you are quoting US law.

Whilst showing live feeds of rabits is a bit off and while it is certainly illegal to do it in the UK I do not think it is at all morally wrong for live feeding to happen. This is the reality of how snakes feed after all. This is obviously quite different to the feeding of a live kitten and filming it just for kicks.
Also, after seeing Watership Down I think we can safely say that all rabbits are evil...
You fail at google.
I'm not so irrationally emotional that I associate feeding animals to other animals to be the same thing as harming a human child.
I'd be more concerned about you, or others who somehow manage to associate the two acts as being similar.
And whats your point? The animal was going to be eaten anyway, what possible difference can it make if it was filmed or not? As RDM said, I dont find live feeding of animals to carnivorous pets morally wrong. I wouldnt own such a pet or do it myself, dont I dont have an irrational hatred of anyone that chooses to do so.
Ok, I dont watch videos of stuff like this unless they are on youtube. I have no intention of watching anymore shock videos, and even if it would disgust me, I dont let my personal emotions cloud of judgement of morality.

I notice you ignored the rest of the post?
How interesting.
But no you said the fact the man did not participate in the at of killing absolved him of responsibility.
Now you are saying a similar act (placing an animal/human into a situation you know to be fatal) is wrong.
This means that either the laws that mean you are responsible for your pets wel being and the various laws against kinds of negligence etc are null and void.,
the man had certain obligations to the cat when he took possession of it, also do you really think he did this just to feed the snake or more to make the video?
that last point I'm very curious about.
Also out of curiosity do you support dog fighting?
if not why not?
so where do you draw the line?
is buying a cat and locking it a room till it dies of starvation (or a plastic bag and letting it suffocate) ok?
after all both are putting the cat in a situation you know it cannot survive.
how do you marry up laws protecting animals from negligence or abuse to it being ok for one animal to kill another (when forced into an enclosed space by a human for the sole purpose of one killing the other)
where does dog or **** fighting fall into this line?

Dog fighting isnt something I have ever considered, nor something that concerns me, so I have no interest in discussing that.
Is buying a snake, and leaving it in a room without any food until it dies of starvation ok? If not then what is morally wrong with feeding it a kitten?

Is that like the fourth or fifth time you've said that now?
Are you unaware that >most< snakes cant eat humans?
What the ****, we are animals! The only thing that differentiates us from another animal is our intelligence.
