This video is kind of violent, and a waste of a mouse. CAUTION

I don't want to sound cold, but (other than giving me a start) this video didn't really bother me. In fact I though it was kind of awesome.

My local pet store sells "feeder" mice and even "feeder" rats.

Snakes and giant spiders have got to eat to! :huh What do you think happens in the wild.

This is just me, but I don't like video's like this when it is done for someones entertainment. It doesn't upset me like it does some. I just don't enjoy it so choose not to watch them. When its something on like a documentry, thats a different story. And please don't take this as some sort of attack or whatever, just putting this up for ____s and giggles and to prove a point and distinguish between the two :peace

What happens in the wild is different, two creatures aren't put into the same cage for one to die or for them to fight for someones entertainment. Which that what that video is. Otherwise they wouldn't make it and put it on you tube.

You can also buy feeder mice/rats which are dead and frozen, and you can drop them in a bucket of hot water so that the pet will eat them, thinking its alive due to the body heat. So if you were purely wanting to show a snake or whatever feeding, then there are different ways to go about it. It works for snakes because they "see" the heat but I don't know about spiders.

These videos don't get me angry and I'm not some hippie or whatever, just putting another side to the arguement for ____s and giggles :D

While I choose not to watch these videos, I'm not the sort of person to force that on others and piss and moan about "how wrong it is" (which I'm not, I just don't agree with it being put on film for entertainment). Because like you say, at the end of the day, that damn eight legged force of evil has to be fed.

But this isn't the same as what happens in the wild with some nature photographer patiently waiting or documenting an organism (and if they set up events like this for their show or report then they are in the wrong god damned profession!), its someone who has dropped a mouse into the container to watch it die for entertainment. Some enjoy this kind of thing, like yourself, and if thats what floats your boat then more power to you.

But a spider catching a mouse and feeding on it in the wild in order to survive and capturing it on film, isn't the same as someone dropping a mouse in a cage to film the spider killing it and eating it.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that the video and the same event occuring in the wild free from human influence are not the same so in that sense I can see how it can upset people. But then even the stuff that happens in the wild upsets people.

Do you see my point?

Like I said, I'm not criticizing or attacking or anything, just putting up an arguement. Just want to clarify that because it is very difficult to interpret someones tone through this type of medium and I don't want to kick up an arguement or whatever just because the tone and such was misinterpretated as an attack or something.
