The county had a policy of no animal cruelty being allowed. This even applied to the white mice that were snake food. The county bought frozen whole mice as snake food. A snake will eat only food that is warm - body temperature. We had to put the frozen mouse in a microwave oven to warm it up for the snakes to eat. You do NOT ever want to see what happens to a frozen mouse that is left in the microwave too long!
No animal cruelty allowed? But they froze little white mice, put them in microwaves (sometimes exploding them), and fed them to snakes??
