I didn't say that I support the keeping of venomoids. I don't keep venomous snakes at all, as it is illegal in my state. I don't feel that any venomous is very safe to keep. I suggested that maybe venomoids were safer. I understand your views on the pain that venomoids go through. That's the kind of response I was looking for. I'm not saying that producing venomoids are okay. I'll never own a venomoid. I'm just saying that maybe it is safer than a hot. As far as the pain they must endure, and the ethics of the procedure: veterinarians do ear cropping, dew claw removal, tail docking, and feline claw removals all the time. Many of these procedures can and are performed without anesthesia. At least the snakes are anesthetised. Human males are circumcised. That has to hurt, but the pain is short term and it doesn't effect our quality of life.
I'm not looking for a fight, just some feedback and discussion on the subject.
BTW: The above post was posted by an overzealous friend, but it is a bit odd that you want to ban anyone with a differing opinion.
