[Gpdd] Misc: Guinea pigs as snake food

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Hi Marion and All Other Members,
       I too am most distressed about the exploitation of all animals. I 
spent part of the last few days (ok-- nights!) reseaching things a bit, and I was 
left more despairing and depressed than before I started. The problems are so 
wide spread. We are protected from the reality of the lives so many animals 
are forced to live -- the mass production, "for-profit" physical distortions and 
deformities of a given animal's "natural" form, the loss of freedom to move 
about in anyway.... And this barely scratches the surface.
       Joe, George's daddy, asked if there isn't some kind of alternative for 
feeding snakes. I've been groping about but haven't found any information so 
far, but I would so hope that there might be an alternative and that people 
could be persuaded somehow to make a switch through some new "idea" (a kind of 
breakthrough) in reptile food or whatever.
       But dear God -- let us not put living creatures in a cage with a snake 
or anything else. Where are our hearts? 
       And let us do what we can to make others more aware of the 
dehumanizing consequences of our actions without make them resistive to our attempts to 
improve the lives of all these creatures, great and small, over whom God gave 
us dominion. And let us not mistake that for license for inhumanity and 
brutality.
