    How many of you are vegans? How many of you maybe are, but feed meat to your pets?

    I think this person is disgusting. But not any more disgusting than someone feeding mice to his pet snake, or someone killing a pig because they find it pleasurable to do so. What he's done is not worse because he's done it to cats. I know this is the internet, and this is a UK site, so we pretty much all adore cats. I certainly do. But, morally, a cat has no greater right not to be killed for the fun of humans than any other animal.


    Are you serious? This sicko has not only fed a live kitten to snake but has also drowned a kitten in the bath and suffocated another two in a plastic bag, possibly even more that we do not know about. How can any of those sick acts compare to slaughtering animals for meat which might I add is legal. What this sicko done in all his video is animal cruelty and is being hunted down because it is illegal.

    Remember this thread started with a snake being fed in a distastefully manner , now it appears there is further acts blatant cruelty.

    And a quick google reveals the person could actually be American/Canadian. Also seems the vids are from last year. And some vids have been on youtube for a while.

    The second 2 vid caused the kittens distress for no reason other than enjoyment of the maker.

    A little bit different from the first video( still distastefully , however different).

    It was obvious he was a sicko from the first video I heard about (feeding a kitten to a python) as it was clear the video was done in a sadistic manner and not just to feed a python. Those who thought it was perfectly normal will soon be changing their tune now that it known he has killed other innocent animals. I don't know how he can live with himself, he is not wired up right!

    its called evidence,as evidence is ecumulated a conclusion is came too.

    without evidence its called lynch mob.

    Feeding a kitten to a python is just as wrong as feeding any other animal.

    I had too get a dog put down once at the vets. I sat with my dog and put him at ease and talked to him. If i had taken a
    video of it would it have been seen as sadistic?

    Is the person searching for these vids to watch them just as sadistic?

    Is the SUN and other newspapers just as sadistic for printing the photo's for the extra sales ?

    Its a judgment call regarding the FIRST vid.

    Most have been however people keep reposting.
  • My understanding, is that it is not illegal to feed a vertebrae to a vertebrae. So long as you can produce evidence that the animal will not eat pre killed, and will suffer starvation. It IS illegal however to feed a vertebrae to an invertebrae (IE mouse to a Spider)

    There are plenty of similar videos on youtube..some are pretty horrific...I clicked on a Leopard Gecko vs a Mexican Black Kingsnake years ago, still haunts me.

    BUT...have to question is there a difference between a cat and a rabbit, or a dog and a mouse?

    Seems to be yes. Depending if you have one as a pet or how cute it is....

    27YRS ago when I got my snake (and I still have him) IT WAS ILLEGAL to feed live food as the old man that had the pet shop near to were I
    lived got closed down and a £2,000 fine for feeding live food
  • The only thing I can draw any kind of comfort on this is that at least the kittens met a relatively swift end, rather than a lifetime of neglect, abuse and/or torture at the hands of these sickos.

    Btw, Luke Magnotta is quite famous in Canada and online for his attention seeking, depraved behaviour. He is supposed to have deliberately linked himself to Karla Homolka.

    I think the burglers who microwaved a kitten were worse tbh but I'd like to clear up a misconception there seems to be on here:

    Having worked in a Vivarium for a couple of years I can tell you snakes which were given to us having refused to eat dead food (and the owners found it too distasteful to feed them live food) were easily induced to eat the dead food by it being jiggled about a bit or warmed up. Throw a defrosted mouse into a cage and its no wonder they won't eat.

    I think anyone who enjoys killing is disturbed in their mind be that enjoying feeding crickets to your pet or enjoying slaughtering an animal for food. There is a difference between doing it for necessity and enjoying doing it. I would not want to associate with someone who did.
