This is not how you wash rats. (Animal abuse?)

Linky

This has been spreading around furaffinity and it is kind of fucked up. I feel bad for laughing since this cold be considered animal abuse, even though those rats are food for their pet snake.

7.8/10 too many rats.

She just put a ton of them in a washing machine with shallow water. Well, it's shallow enough where the rats can get up to breathe if they use their strength to hang onto something. But it starts spinning to fast for them to grab onto anything to breathe. So I think that they drown in the end.

Maybe they were just pest rats she wanted to kill?

id love to put her in a washing machine and watch her drown... You can take that as humour if you want.

I watched the video again, and it looked like most of the rats were still alive at the end. The actual washing machine spinning lasted for less than 15 seconds. This doesn't change the fact that these people are fucking stupid though.

I could be wrong and this would be just a small part of their master plan to execute a dozen or so rats.

According to the person who made the video, the rats are just going to be used as food for their pet snakes, so they probably don't give a rats ass (get it! AHAHAHHAA) whether the rats are even alive or not. So I guess that explains why they don't care about the rats' wellbeings.

I won't knock anyone giving live rats to a snake for food, but you don't fucking kill the things yourself.
If you want them dead, you buy them dead.

FFS, if you're going to drown a creature at least do it right. As disgusting as it is, just holding them underwater until they die is more humane.

It did sound like she was actually trying to just clean them between the video and the comments, but she's just really stupid and lazy. Most of the rats did look like they were alive by the end.

I really don't see a problem with this. Well except for the niggers

Mattie G Indahouse · April 15, 2015, 05:10:44 AM

I bet Kiyo knows how to wash rats. She should show us hers and wash it.

Super Irish · April 15, 2015, 05:26:24 AM

These people shouldn't be taking care of animals. Reading the comments, they have two snakes but one is "around somewhere".

I mean, wtf!? Why would they even clean the rats if the snake's going to eat them anyway?

I'm generally against the rats being alive too for being fed to a snake, at least break their necks quickly which is a fuckton more humane then what they were doing.

Why would you wash something like a vegetable if you're going to eat it anyway? The whole point is to clean it so you don't get sick off of it. Cleaning the rat makes sure the snake stay healthy.

The whole point of life food is that not every animal eats died things.

Those would be good points if couldn't just buy rats and mice for that exact purpose.

I'm sure snakes have a far more robust digestive system than we do, living normally in the wild and eating various animals regardless of how clean they are. That's like comparing what we eat compared to any other animal, when we are the only ones who can't readily eat meat without it being cooked or prepared in some way.

You have me at the last point, though you can trick pet snakes into eating recently killed prey, and if the whole point of this thread is about reducing suffering in animals regardless of it being designated food, you might as well do what you can to the best of your abilites.

You do know that snakes readily take frozen thawed food? Even in the wild if a snake comes across carrion they will eat it.

Eh, I had a quick check to get some facts before I just tried to blurt out something completely baseless like saying they're scavengers. Ireland having no snakes and Britain having "slow-worms" isn't much info to go on, y'know?
