What's funny is this sounds exactly like something PETA would say!! Very animal rights-ish. I know you are not PETA, I'm just saying you are using a nearly identical argument they would use.
Humane DOES/CAN refer to the killing of an animal in a HUMANE manner. Look into Temple Grandin for information on the
HUMANE SLAUGHTER of animals that we humans eat...

I'm not sure why you are so hostile to the fact that many of us prefer to "humanely slaughter" the animals we give our snakes, as long as doing so doesn't harm the snake. (and by "harm the snake" I mean they still thrive just as well on F/T as they would on live)
