Why is a rodent breeder horrifying?
I personally own the following as pets in my home;
1 ball python, 1 dumeril boa, 1 bearded dragon, 2 ratties, and 2 guinea pigs, the snakes gotta eat! I feed frozen thawed, but did have a snake once that would only accept live food that I bred (African Soft Furs.) Yes I understand the complications of guinea birthing but to have a well managed rodent/guinea breeder is a great thing for the reptile industry, as well as other exotics like ferrets who eat mice as well. Exotic pet owners don't go scanning your pet ads for food for their pets, people who do that would do it with or with out the reptile involved.
I also know a lady who used to eat guineas, she also loves her hasenpfeffer. But we see only the rabbit as okay for North America? - While the Guinea was originally bred as a food source.
Sorry if this offended anyone, but both sides should be seen.
