Sheesh. Do they think the snake is a vegetarian, or what? I know I'm going to get downvoted for this comment, but 'animal lovers' who refuse to accept the circle of life... 🙄

I see you're one of those people who believe in reading only the headline, and making judgements based on clickbait.

No students were present to observe the feeding, which occurred outside school hours.

I couldn't care less about the article. You are trying to justify psychopathic behavior and you for some dumb fucking reason take pride with the fact you don't give a shit about animals and sound amused by their suffering. Absolutely degenerate.

You are full of yourself, getting your meat frozen from a supermarket and talking about the circle of life. You are a synthetic entity that feeds on suffering.

Get lost you fucking weirdo

Could you explain the problem, I genuinely don't understand. Snakes are obligate carnavores thats often will only eat live prey, a sick and unwanted kitten, that per the article would have died anyway, seems like a great candidate.

My concerns are whether the kitten was killed before being fed to the snake and whether the snake could suffer harm from eating sick food. Also, whether the "ailing kittens" were already known to the students, as maybe classroom pets.

Very sure a juicy tidbit like that would have been highlighted in a tabloid article like this.

The meal being fed either alive or dead are both common practices with snake owners, and the sickness should not be a problem given the extremely different physiologies.

Oh, I know feeding live and dead prey are both common with snake owners. I'm a dog/fish person myself, but I follow a few snake people on youtube. I also know some snakes are picky AF and refuse pre-killed prey. I was worried about the comfort of both the kitten and the snake--a live kitten might struggle and hurt the snake. And I don't know if the kitten had any parasites it could pass on--I've seen warnings about not feeding wild mice to pet snakes for similar reasons.

Edit: or maybe the ailing kittens had been poisoned. We just don't know.

This would not be news if the teacher just shot the kitten.

yeah apparently she some how came across a liter of sick kittens and her first thought was "snake food".

ok...I just have questions. A. it was an ailing kitten, fair enough, but if you have a snake in your classroom don't you already have access to mice/rats to feed it? B. there were MULTIPLE ailing kittens that the teacher then allowed a student to take home, why were there MULTIPLE? C. Where the hell did this teacher find MULTIPLE ailing kittens? D. what did all these ailing kittens have? simple eye infections? like...I don't get it. If you have a liter of kittens that are all sick wouldn't you take them to the vet? Even if I personally had a snake my first thought wouldn't be "hmmm, multiple sick kittens...I'm going to feed them ALL to my snake at school"
