So hamsters are okay, but puppies aren't? As @Fosheze alluded to, it has to do more with the culture that you were raised in than it has to do with any universal standard of morality.

A quick Google search reveals that snakes can eat prey that is the diameter of the widest part of the snake. Some snakes, such as large constrictors, can and will eat a dog. Snakes are carnivores and need to eat a varied diet of prey, so it comes as no surprise that a dog could be a valid option.

Of course, as with everything, it gets more complicated than that. For instance, intent, food viability, local laws and regulations, how the prey was prepared, etc.

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.
