I'm with you bud don't worry, I don't have issues with puppy's being used. I'm a rodent lover and I had 10 hamster up until earlier this year when they all started passing away from old age and I understand it's the cycle of life and snakes have to eat too. I have no problem with any of this as long as it wasn't done overly gruesome for the animals being eaten. It's the cycle of life, we're part of it too.
