A Hiccup In The Food Chain
(I am working in the reptile department and I often get questions about the snakes.)
Customer: “What do you feed these snakes?”
Me: “Those snakes? Usually feeder mice.”
Customer: “You feed them live mice?”
Me: “Yes, that’s what they eat.”
Customer: “Well, don’t you think that’s cruel?”
Me: “…”
Customer: “Can’t you feed them a vegetarian diet?”
Me: “No, they need to eat a diet similar to what they would naturally eat in the wild.”
Customer: “Well, I think that’s just awful. They should be able to survive on vegetables.”
Me: “I’m sorry… You’ll have to talk to God about that one.”
