Maybe it's just my [and hundreds of other people's] sense of humors that are lacking, but when I see a post on a Snake forum pointing directly to a Pet Rat forum, saying 'We should all go over there and tell them we'll feed their precious pets to our snakes!' I just find it a little offensive. I don't go trolling through snake forums just to start things, which according to Goosemoose you were doing. Also, when you came into Goosemoose's chat, and said to pass the link to the Kingsnake forum onto a GM member [who was asking honest questions about your breeding practices because she's also a breeder], you said "It wasn't me that posted it!"
Also, she breeds pet store rats and mice as feeders, guys. Not as pets only, but to feed live. She crams them into aquariums, spends time with them as she sees fit, and has no real interest in them as the pets the majority of us see them as. In the post on Kingsnake [which apparently has now been deleted], she said she only tracks their breeding in so far as 'she gets bored with it otherwise' if she can't get cool new 'morphs'. She also claims her rats and mice have no respiratory problems, no temperament problems, etc.. I'd really like to know how she figured that one if she uses them for feed. Kinda hard to tell if you feed them prior to natural causes.
While it's everyone own choice as to whether they feed live or not, I don't see any point in starting anything with those of us that see rats solely as pets. As per the information she so graciously shared in Goosemoose, she really has no idea what's considered 'okay' and what's plain cruelty.
