I agree that some snakes need to be live fed, and that most of us watched the discovery channel at one time or another and have seen snakes and other animals kill, so whats the difference between the discovery channel and youtube???
The answer is taste.
I have seen loins on the idscovery channel late night eat a cow from the backside up alive. Not very nice viewing if you have a weak stomach, but it was filmed incontext to its environement.
However lot of the live feed videos on youtube have people cheering as the snake or lizard pulls it to peices, in fact there is one video where a boa takes a live rabbit backwards, the rabbit is squealling in pain and the bloke behind the camera is masturating as he is getting off on it.
So shortfuse, before you say that people film live feeds dont give reptiles a bad name, perhaps yopu should show the masturbating pain freak video to your mum or granny, she what they make of it, see if it doesn't give us respoinsible people a bad name.
