Welcome to reality. Consider this.......PETA attacked Petco for selling mice as feeders (snakes eat mice in the wild, they would gladly try to save a snake in the wild I'm sure or stop destruction of it's habitat) but says nothing about them killing everything that comes through the door. Petco used to sell feeder mice for around $1, fancy mice for $2.50 or so. Now they are all mixed together and cost $2 regardless. If you do the math and realize that mice as pets are bought once a year and mice as food are being bought weekly you'll realize that the profit has gone up a ton with the added price for feeders. The average sale price per mouse has probably jumped from around $1.10-1.25 to $2. I think we got hustled.
