bekkylove22 tells us more.
Just to clarify, no I did not allow this person to take any mice. Live feeding is illegal in the UK (where our rescue is based) and the majority of the mice we have are ones that came from illegal 'feeder breeders' that were shut down by the RSPCA after being proven to be selling mice for use as live feed. Some of these mice have been hand reared by me from the day they were born if their mother had abandoned them or died herself, so there's no way in hell I would let them go somewhere they would be used as food. Hope this helped anyone who was asking questions!

I get that rats and mice can be pets but it is so hard to find a place to sell snake food. They need to eat too and they do not eat frozen food in the wild.
Better to feed snakes live food than frozen. Plus not all pets will eat food that doesn't move.
Mice are vermin. They need to be exterminated.
why would it be illegal to do live feeds? Is it for population control, or humane purposes?
Apparently the rescue part went right by her.

new slogan for you; mice are friends, not food
Aww the wonderful cycle of life isn't it intense. At least they aren't just killing them off with traps or poison or worse. Sad reality is that we all eat living things and that's part of the cycle .
