I like debates on this forum, however when someone like Bhavv attempts to get involved he simply makes himself come across as a complete imbecile.
Anyone with a shred of intelligence would know that you cant compare feeding a kitten to a snake to slaughtering animals for human consumption.
The cases you find online are isolated. If you think massive companies would risk buying produce from suppliers who werent adhering to correct procedures then you would be pretty foolish.
Its like your brain is stuck in a loop of stupidity.

of course you can. Especially when that method is hala.
You can also compare the distress/harm compared to Barrett farming.
Then you have people on the otherwise saying filming it and a Santa hat makes it inhumane. Wtf, what the hell. How do those cause the animal to suffer.
Why not? Feeding a snake, or feeding a Human, why is there any difference in the theoretical lack of humanity either way?
Is this a humane method of keeping chickens for human consumption?
Also, why are there all of these links from googling 'Inhumane farm animal treatment':

Why dont you do some research? Do you think that 100% of animals in food farms and slaughterhouses for Human consumption are actually treated in any 'humane' way? I cant believe that you attack my intelligence if thats what you, and so many others in this thread believe.
Yet the single biggest joke in this thread is whoever thought that animals were originally domesticated for companionship, and not for food or furs. Thats the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

That post of mine was coincidentally next to your quote of my preivous post. It wasn't actually directed at you.
You may think it immature. I was actually enraged by the video and posted my mood and thoughts accordingly. That's what the forum is for.
Thinking about what this cretin did still makes my blood boil.

You didn't just disagree with me, you made a backhand comment about my intelligence by implying that I don't understand what a debate is.
It's not really a debate though is it if you just want to ram your views down other people's throats and have no respect for anyone else's opinion unless it agrees with your own.
As I said, you're not going to win anyone over by insulting them or being rude.
To respond to your comment (quoted), I'm being reasonably polite and tolerant of other people's views on here, therefore why is the internet not for me?

Being inhumane is having a lack of compassion for an animal's suffering isn't it?
Don't you think that putting a santa hat on a kitten that you're just about to feed to a snake is lacking compassion for what is about to happen to the kitten? The kitten doesn't know any different, but the person doing it does, as do the people who are watching the video. Regardless of whether the animal is aware of the compassion, it doesn't affect the inhumane act.
So feeding a snake to a cat, of which a video was also posted is inhumane as it shows a lack of compassion for the snakes suffering?
People seem to have side-tracked from the real point.
It's not a case of a person simply breeding cats & using them as a food source - as an argument against that would be based in hypocrisy.
It's a person deliberately picking a much loved animal, exaggerating the affection/compassion that people would feel by dressing it up.
The filming it & putting it on a public platform to engage & anger a mostly animal loving public.
The same person also creating another videos of suffocating two other kittens & drowning another (with no purpose other than "shock value" or taking pleasure from watching an animal suffer).

bhavv...i think i KIND of see what you are trying to say, but you do seem to be arguing for the sake of it mate.
Feeding ANYTHING to ANY pet to keep it alive, i feel is fine...yes it is ilegal to feed live food as i have said before, but large pythons etc will be fed on rabbits, lambs, guinea pigs...when i first got my snake i had a pet hamster, yet was feeding the snake mice. If i had just read an article somewhere random that said that a guy had fed his snake with a kitten, i wouldnt have though anything, it is a good sized meal for the snake...but to know he has put on a "show" is the bit that is getting to people...the snake is on his bed, not just in its tank where most people will feed their snakes. If this was an american video, the snake was its its enclosure, and the kitten had been introduced to the snake, i dont think it would have bothered me. I still feel it is wrong to feed live but that is more for the welfare of the snake to be honest.

This in a nutshell.
You have some sense and I agree with you.
I dont agree with people who simply hear 'Kitten fed to snake', and go on a rage claiming that such an act is inhumane, AND that anyone that would do that or disagrees with this opinion are mentally twisted.
For me Lack of compassion has nothing to do with humane/inhumane.
It's to do with the needless distress caused the act itself, neither a hat or video adds to that stress.
Does videoing a slaughter house make the act suddenly inhumane? Of course OT doesn't. So why does video a snake make it inhumane.
Inhumane is the act that cuases unneeded suffering for me. And all this other malarkey makes no difference to the suffering of said animal.

we know why its different. Because moat see cats as pets.
Does this make what happened in the clip wrong? Of course not.
I'm sure no one would have anything to say if the man fed the snake a mouse or rat.
This country is becoming far too sensitive. I mean what can the rspca do? The man was feeding his snake...
