My snake-owning friends as well, it's more humane for both the rat (I hope that those are killed in a humane fashion), and the snake, as you said. This guy is grinning. If he hasn't killed any people yet, he's on the fast track.

probably. states are really weird with what your able to keep. like where i live, you can pretty much keep anything without a license outside a few animals(mostly local wildlife) but you can own crocs and cobras if you want.

Hypothetical situation :

Long long ago Coyotes and other "dog things" Would have litters in the woods. Some of them wouldn't be strong, and the mother would abandon them to care for the rest. A snapping turtle would then find the puppy and eat it. Nature.


Current Hypothetical Situation :

Lady has a dog breeding company. Shes not a back yard breeder and does her best to have healthy dogs that merit papers. Her dog has a litter. one is runty and the mother abandons it.

Now does she A : Feed it with an eye dropper into a bottle, and create a genetic monstrosity that requires thousands of vet bills through its life.

or does she B : Call Mr Tutsan who has a giant snapping turtle, something that is mostly missing from this world these days, and give the puppy to him.


In both situations the result is the same, Nature.

But for some reason this is given the most intolerant view to the point of ad homin and death threats, loss of career.

What would you have done with the sick puppy then? Cried as it dies over 3 days then bury it?

Drowning it was probably more humane then that.

It does not cost 500-plus to euthanize a newborn pup, and cremationn is a known scam. There must be some shelter with a cheap option for mercy cases.

Thank you for the non ad homin answer.

So then you , as the breeder, would then pay 200? dollars and then bury it in the back yard each and every time your mother dog has a failed pup?

As I said, there must be a shelter with a sweetheart rate. If 10 ccs of whatever barbituate combo vets use is enough for a 20-plus pound dog, then it can't be that much to sink a newborn pup directly into the heart.

And well, I'm not saying to have a mass grave for failed puppues, but I'm not *not* saying it. You feel me?

You would be really hard pressed to find any shelter willing to do anything like that for free. Most breeders do not live in the city near shelters anyway, there will be 1, perhaps 2 available vets. Most vets will not see you for under 200 dollars.

This isn't sustainable, what other options for the rural breeder are there for deformed, 1 eyed, obviously failed pups?

Fine, this makes a mess and caucuses particles of lead to be strewn over what ever area of your breeder farm. It will also cause distress from the dogs as they will smell it.

I confer that drowning is still the more humane method.

If you are a 'qualified' breeder, I would suppose you've been through this situation a few times. Not every baby is (and I don't know the correct terminology) able to thrive. And I'd also suppose you produce quite a few sickly puppies or kittens or whatever if you are breeding, because purebred domestic animals tend to have a lot of health problems to begin with, and also there are infant mortality rates for every species that reproduces, right? So, I'd think, if it were me -- which it wouldn't be -- but if it were, I'd know already that some of these dogs won't make it straight out the gate, and I'd have a non-getting-eaten-alive euthanasia option already.
