one that will surely raise controversy

Like it or not, that's what snakes do! So an upvote. Do feel sorry for the chick though, because there was probably no way out except through that snake.

sure brings up the whole concept of cruelty

Cruel cruel. I vote down.

I'm quite sure nobody will put this under "kids" but surely you must admit, oxdottir, that this video got your attention, one way or another

I'm gonna give it some time and see if anyone likes this kind of sick shit

Whoa! I guess we're all vegetarians, then? I mean a snake's got to eat, Right?

This is getting saved as soon as I have one.

People eat fish while they are still alive. Idiots.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I don't like this kind of video because I feel that birds are a higher order of animal than snakes. I think snakes in captivity should only be fed animals further down the evolutionary tree - mmmm jelly fish and sponges.

I also have a theory about animal cruelty based on brain/body ratio and enough animal killings being equivalent to human murder ... but I won't go into it now. Basically it's something like 100 chicken deaths = 1 human death. I do eat meat.

I don't believe any amount of animal deaths can ever equal a human death, but I do think that filming a snake eating a chicken like this in a domesticated situation is stupid.

Dag: interesting theory, deserves further elaboration
as for this video - i'm not trying to promote animal cruelty. if someone thinks this video is worth saving, fine by me, give it another 4 days on queue and let the sifters decide...
it's just that i don't like these a priori rejections, in this case i find it rather hypocritical
sure, it's hard to watch, but so is this
