Many animals in captivity require live food, and won't eat dead food.

The point is this particular owner is doing this for entertainment, not for the good of the turtle, as they are omnivores, and certainly not for the benefit of the rats as the video cutely shows the rats playing around before they are dropped into that tank.

Like I said, doing it once, ok, it's pretty wild. Doing it over and over and over for giggles is overboard.

I can understand doing it once just to see it happen, but doing it over and over is a indictment of this owner's own sick mindset.

Jeffrey Dahlmer also tortured animals when he was a kid.

Yeah it's overboard, but god damn is it entertaining. Pet stores sell the mice as feeding mice, so who cares. They're rodents. We do experiments and shit on them.

Would you still say it's animal cruelty if he was feeding them live crawfish?

First, the mice natural habitat is not water. Feeding a live mouse to a snake is different because the snake gets it over with quickly, it doesn't rip the mouse apart as the mouse is swimming around underwater. The turtle is just being the turtle, but that turtle can also eat just about anything and be fine.

Crawfish, no, I'd have no problem with that as they crawfish are in their element to begin with and secondly, I bet the turtle more or less swallows it hole anyway.

Doing it once is ok, but more than that is wrong? What kind of logic is that?

Maybe he should sit that turtle down and ask it to kill its food in a nicer manner..

Don't care. The point is this is cruel and unusual, that's the point.

now you are just arguing to argue. I said doing it once just to see what would happen I can understand, but once is once. Again, I have NO PROBLEM WITH THE TURTLE, it's the asshat feeding the turtle What don't you understand about this?

Turtles eat rodents all the time. It's a perfectly normal fact of life that happens in places called "Outdoors". Sorry about your feelings.

Because you're a moron, I'll explain this a little more--out in nature, sure, the turtle eats what it eats and sometimes that may be a rodent. But in captivity, that is, not out in nature, that is, with a human being doing all the feeding, things change. Again, this owner is doing this for sick entertainment and yes, I think it's cruel.

But if you like it, fine. After all, you root for the crappiest team in the NFL so you gotta get your kicks somewhere, amirite?

No, things don't change at all. Animals don't lose their instinctual need to feed, and turn into little vegan pussies when in captivity. The only thing happening here, is you trying to apply your delicate feelings onto a perfectly normal animal feeding. Animals don't apply to your silly PETA hugging sensibilities, no matter if they're in the wild or in captivity.
