Reptile slaughter house. Warning Very Graphic

[infernalis]

It would be different if the meat was being used as food.

Here's the thing, we all get upset as hell when we see this sort of thing happening with snakes or lizards.

Just remember where that cheeseburger and chicken wings we all crave come from.

I won't go into details, just google or youtube Veal, Lamb, Beef, Chicken, Turkey, or just about every other living organism on this planet followed by the word "Slaughterhouse" and I all but guarantee you will see very similar sights.

We excuse ourselves for slaughtering mice and rats [how many rodents per day get put down at say just rodent pro alone] so our snakes can eat, we get pissed when someone on a mouse/rat/hamster/gerbil forum calls us monsters for feeding our herps.

It's all in your perspective of what you see before you.

We see an atrocity against animals we love, They see snakes as money / nuisance / dangerous, whatever.

If you really look into the fish industry, those critters are treated as if they have no brains at all, and/or no ability to feel pain, "Fishermen" often leave them on a chain with clips to expire slowly from the gut hook... Etc.

So think carefully before you post

Yes, but snakes need to eat to live, we dont need snake skin or fur to live.. its optional, and as humans we have the capability to use alternative materials.

I agree fully with what you are saying, Kindly indicate where in that video it is disclosed that the flesh was not being used to serve over rice or make soup.

I'd be willing to bet almost all leftovers get used if it's a third world country or in a place with small villages. The "hungry villagers" (if there are villagers) probablly turn stuff we wouldn't think of eating into food.

I second this.. We are far more wasteful than places like that are. I'm ok with what they are doing as long as they use all the animal they can. I don't care for how they kill the animal but it's a different country and things are done differently. I hunt and they might not like how I do things or how much of the the animal I use..you have to watch and read about things like this with a VERY open mind. Just because we don't like it doesn't make it wrong.

Thanks for having such a level head.

We also don't need to eat hamburgers, or other meat products to live. There are alternatives. There is no difference between snakes and cattle except YOU like them more. Favoritism. Principles are the same. I'm assuming you're a vegetarian because you dont NEED to eat a poor cow or chicken?
