Dilemma feeding live food

sorry everyone if it triggers something in the past that i didn't know, but as i said i don't mind or no problem at all how you feed yours.
no, will still eat burger.
this gives me a good thinking, because clearly i'm on this side, i like to know the examples, it feels like a life lesson, but yea never mind i need to discover it on my own.
I feel guilty at killing anything tbh, I use live river shrimp, crickets, locust, earth worms and meal worms all occasionally..
I once saved some goldfish I added to my giant snakehead tank a few years back, some bitten in half but living got fed to the African pike, that made me feel pretty bad.
My mantis is pretty darn cruel to the crickets eating them alive eek.
I had an African bullfrog and that was making me feel like Hitler.
He would eat 5 boxes a week!
All my fish will take dead and most take pellets, I like to imagine all the frozen was killed humanely.
They are all living creatures, I keep 2 snakes aswell, both eat ft rats, it's actually illegal in the UK to sell any fish or mammals as live food.
I understand some fish and animals won't take dead food, I still believe every effort should be made to convert them.
I have no issue shooting a rabbit as long as I'm gonna eat it, I wouldn't kill for fun... Imo that's just wrong as is enjoying watching an animal suffer as it gets devoured... Gotta have a screw loose if you enjoy it imho. I do feel the small critters I feed are beneficial to my pets tho, that outweighs the bad feeling somewhat.
I quite often let the last couple of crickets in a box go free lol, sound like a right pussy I know!-)

I should have clarified. A human can feel gulit but a fish does not. Some species will only accept live foods. Humans can choose to eat what ever.
Same. I've had good results w/ NLS.
Other than the pellets I offer bloodworms and shrimp on occasion.
Ahhh! I see now where you were going. It sounds like we were each thinking of something different. And yes, you are so right.
hello; here is a thought experiment. Lets pretend Hendre can shrink you down to the just right bite size of you favorite fish. Lets also pretend that particular fish watches this happen. Say you are dropped into the tank with this favorite fish of yours.
What happens???
