Aw, c'mon. Everyone knows a weasel is just a big rat that can't get along!

BTW, we later discovered from folks who worked at the Feed & Seed store where we bought the rat that it had formerly been some little girl's pet, which accounted pretty well for its outgoing personality.

that's horrid! I'm not incredibly keen on rats, but to turn a totally domesticated one into a python meal is just awful of those people!

I want to...I really do, and I'll try. But, you see, there's part of me that sees your username and every time thinks "Do-It-Yourself Rob". Yeah, I know, not even close, but who am I to argue with my brain?

I wonder what a Do-It-Yourself Rob is?

I didn't make the rules. Blame nature, God, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster for making certain species carnivores, but don't blame me. I would have loved to have set out a bowl of cheerios for its nourishment each morning, but the end result would have been a dead python.

And note: this rat, which unlike its mates, was totally domesticated, lived. None of us had the heart to feed Tasha to anyone.

The vast majority of human parents, with the exception of those who are vegetarians, think nothing of providing their children with domesticated animals which have been slaughtered for their dining pleasure. And unlike snakes, their children don't die if they forgo meat. So which is worse?

The animals killed by pythons die quickly, usually within 30 seconds. Have you ever seen how animals die in some of the factory farming operations?

I watched these shifty looking guys pull up at my next door neighbour's house and remove his entire electric gate, motor and all. When my neighbour came home, I told him about it.

"Why the hell didn't you say something to them?!" he asked.

"Well, I didn't want them to take offence".
