pinkie mouse for tokay

[rxracer]

well the way i look at it, for all those people that feed live mice to thier monitors, and constrictors, its no worse.

a pinky mouse is weak and fragile, and would prolly die pretty quick.

that was the case when i fed a pinky to my pac-man frog. it died quick...

Some animals will refuse pre-killed mice. I never had much luck with them. And those pinkie mice are killed at some point. Personally, I would rather be crushed than to slowly freeze to death. You're supporting one method of killing or another.

They are not SLOWLY frozen.


They are FLASH frozen. Its Not like being put in a deep feeeze. Instant death.

flash frozen huh....

you have a link to back up that statement?

Here is one place that does it.

I will find more to satisfy all of you though.

Actually, on looking at a few websites, none of the three companies I looked at actually froze their rodents to death. They all stated they euthanized them with CO2 first, then froze them. Suffocating, that's a pleasant way to go. Even the link in the previous post doesn't say how they are killed. It only says they're flash frozen to "ensure freshness."

And if you guys think these animals at these places are treated humanely, you are not thinking clearly. Few animals raised for food are treated humanely, even for human use. Have you seen how dairy cows are treated? How about how veal is produced? Cows are raised from birth in cages so small they can't stand or move much so that their meat is nice and soft in your mouth. C'mon. If human food is raised this way, how do you think rodents are raised? The USDA is responsible for regulating human food production. Who regulates reptile food production? I'm pretty sure the mice raised at my local pet store are treated and killed more humanely than any industrial complex can.

I mostly just prekill to protect the animal I'm feeding, as stated earlier, a mouse can do some severe damage. Maybe not a pinky though. I just don't like hearing them scream and they don't scream when you flick them in the head.
