if i had twelve kids i'd definatly kill a few off, i mean think of the cost to feed them.

I can see where you're coming from but there's a natural order to things, everything kills something to survive, be it fruit and veg or meat. its all the same. lions kill to survive cavemen killed to survive humans eat cows. trees scream when you chop them down, apparently so what about them?

I used to have a barn owl and hated feeding her young mass culled day old chicks.

you can't feed snakes soy.

Snakes eat mice, People arent just going to stop keeping snakes because they eat mice.

if you had 12 kids and couldn't afford em you'd stick em up for adoption or foster care realisticly.

If you cant afford them - don't breed. simple as.

I spend the wage i get from working on my mice, I should be getting EMA for college this is what i mean.

Still didnt say i couldnt afford to keep and breed the mice if i couldnt afford them i wouldnt breed them i spent 2 years researching and getting myself ready to be able to breed mice some for show some as hobby admittedly i havent shown anything yet as i dont have time at the moment to show or the money to travel, I dont "kill" all the babies i sell them as pets and give the ones ived "killed" to friends snakes and lizards ect.

I don't care for snakes, don't know anything about them either but if I did have one I would feed it what it needed to be fed, even if that was a mouse.

Fadie - have you heard of any Dalmations being culled for not having the right markings recently?

Le Loup - not everyone is Vegan on here and I for one find your posts very rude and your signature is annoying , you're entitled to your opinion as everyone is but do you really have to force feed it to everyone?

Mark - do you breed to show?
