Well this sort of practice isn't illegal, even in the UK! Not many people realise that the majority of animals bred at rodent farms get euthanised for snake food either. I know the subject of culling for snake food is a sore point in the rodents section (understandably) but this is just the worst
I just want to spread the word to as many people as possible, and seeing as a lot of people come here before they get a pet it could be good to be made a sticky.
