the reason that it is brutal isn't because of the price. a life is a life, even though feeders wouldn't live if it wasn't for death. i think that it sucks because the aro suffers for probably up to an hour, and it just keeps having chunks bitten out of it, instead of being ripped in half and dieing quickly.
Poor aro! To each his own we can't flame into submission so, we chart one for the weirdo's. I love my monsters and would never do that but we are all adults (most of us) se la vi.......Poor aro!
