Like sure snakes look nice but i would be really fucked up if i had to give it a living or dead rat every half a week or so. Only reason im not vegan is cos of that thin layer of separation between what i eat and the animal it came from, so i dont feel awful everytime i eat, do yall not feel any of that?
Yeah, I have to feed my tarantula a live cricket once a week. Tarantulas are carnivores, it's natural for them. I only have it because I rescued it from the pet store that didn't know how to take care of it. Yes it's disgusting in a way but that's the way it works, carnivores can't eat anything else.
I used to have a pet tarantula named Minerva Buffington.
May she RIP in whatever Valhalla tarantulas go to.

IMO live crickets are fine, but mammals deserve more ethical considerations than insects.
