Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The basic attributes of a domesticated animal is they never experience growing up and becoming independent from their owner. They will always look to their owner like they would their mother, much unlike wild animals that are eventually taught to fend for themselves. Now this doesn't hold true for ferral animals, but the point is a kitten such as Jasmin looked at her demented owner as she would her mother, and in that little animal brain of her's, she was deceived and left to die an inhumane death. Like I said earlier, karma is a "female dog", and it would be ironic if through a very strange series of events, that guy ended up as tiger poo.

being speared/chewed and then squeezed so hard your blood stops pumping is totally humane!
yes we keep predators and care for them accordingly, but dont try to sugarcoat it! Live feeding is sometimes necessary but it's not a fun way to check out of Life Hotel

I have actually read that a snake consticting a rat is a faster death than the rat being hit in the back of the head with a hammer. I don't know if that is correct or not but that is beside the point. I myself would never feed a live kitten to a snake. I also would never film it just for laughs. Nothing is funny about that, but like others said before, what is the difference between a kitten and a bunny or a rat? Just because the kitten is "cute" and the rat isn't cute, it is ok for the rat to die but not the kitten?
In the wild do you think if a python came across a kitten, the python would say" oh I am sorry Mr. Kitten, I can't eat you because you are a cat. Carry on"? No, the python would do what comes naturally and kill and consume the cat. Do I agree with what the sick dude did? No. The simple point is, that if he had filmed a live rat being killed and consumed by a snake, no body would even care. People would say "good it is a nasty rat", but since it is a kitten, a "cute" kitten everybody is outraged. Just my .02 cents.

No, it's not correct, it can take minutes of constriction depending on the size of the prey. Nature is very cruel
