He killed our kittens
Hi, I am new here. I have a ss who is 15. Dh has 50% custody of his son and pays cs. SS has 2 snakes at his moms home. He asked if he could take 2 kittens from a litter that a stray had under our porch. Dh said yes and he took them. Last night I asked what he named the kittens and he looked at me like I was stupid. He said why would you name food? My stomach dropped and I said NO!! He fed the kittens to his snakes!! I can't even look at him and I don't want him here. We all cared for the kittens and loved on them. I can't believe he did this!

You are fine with this? No
You are fine with this? No issue at all? Okay.
Knowing the kid had snakes at
Knowing the kid had snakes at his mother's and already has access to the kittens all he wants EOW, I'd have asked kid why. Poor kitties.
Uh, I don't think that is
Uh, I don't think that is normal. I get that snakes eat mice and maybe baby kittens look like mice, but your SS15 knows the difference. I may be in the minority, but I find this disturbing. I would feel much the same way as you do.
I am really pissed! SS said
I am really pissed! SS said it was no big deal and he refuses to discuss it other than to say he was feeding his pets. Dh called bm to see if she knew and she said yes. She said it is no different then the ones we took to the pound. We couldn't find homes for 2 of them and my son is allergic so we couldn't keep them. We did get mom fixed so she wouldn't have any more kittens under our porch. She is a stray and NOT our cat. SS had the nerve to say meat was meat! I told dh he needed to do something and he said he looked online and snakes can eat PUPPIES AND KITTENS!!!!!!!!
Ss said his mom said yes. She
Ss said his mom said yes. She has no issue with him feeding the kittens to the snakes. Apparently meat is meat and they were free meat. I am sick over this!
SS doesn't typically lie to
SS doesn't typically lie to dh. He is very honest and tells dh what he thinks no matter how rude it is.
What kind of snakes? My sons
What kind of snakes? My sons has snakes and no way they could have eaten a kitten. We always bought frozen baby mice. Why anyone would feed a snake kittens is beyond me :jawdrop: I had a hard time feeding them already dead animals!!!
I am not sure. They are big
I am not sure. They are big snakes though. He has had them for years. I very much dislike snakes so I never want to look at his pictures or discuss them. I believe he feeds them mice most of the time. I have no idea what made him feed them kittens.
No no no.. I just can't even
No no no.. I just can't even imagine . That is horrendous what a heartless POS
He played with them and held
He played with them and held them. He thinks it was okay no matter how much I explain it is not. He says I don't own snakes so I wouldn't know. When I get mad he says his mother gave him permission to do it with their kittens. I told dh I want him checked out. He is creepy!!!!
He wet the bed off and on
He wet the bed off and on till 9 but so did dh. He will tell you whatever is on his mind and has no filter.
Here's a thought: Tell SS
Here's a thought: Tell SS to bring his snakes with him next time he visits. When he is out and about, make quick, humane work of his snakes with a swift hatchet to the head. Then slice'm and dice'm and fry them up for dinner. When SS sits down, calmly tell him you hope he enjoys the protein on his plate, as it's his snakes. He shouldn't be upset. Doesn't matter if he had any kind of emotional connection to them. After all, humans are carnivores and "meat is meat," right?!
So I am supposed to cut up
So I am supposed to cut up his pets and feed them to him? No thanks. You are insane and need help.
Ever heard of sarcasm? The
Ever heard of sarcasm? The point I was making was if SS thinks that all animals are fair game for "meat then he should view his "pets" the same way you viewed the kittens as "pets." I am sure he would be upset if someone took his snakes and fed them to another animal. Chill out.
Hmmm I feel like feeding
Hmmm I feel like feeding kittens to a snake is a big jump. I think you and your DH have either missed or ignored some red flags before this point. I just don't see a regular Polly Anna type of child suddenly feeding kittens to snakes.
If he played with them and
If he played with them and loved on them YES!
^^^this. we had a python for
^^^this. we had a python for a while, and various other reptiles too. the first time we fed it a live mouse. then we vowed to never do that again - it was absolutely traumatic for both dh and i.
we are both total animal lovers, so while we understand how the food chain works, we also have a $#!t-ton of empathy for the 'prey'. this kid is utterly lacking in that.
I can't handle it either - I
I can't handle it either - I skimmed through it VERY quickly.
woman you hush about my
woman you hush about my squirrels!!!!!
Watching my Great Danes see
Watching my Great Danes see deer for the first time was hilarious. They were about the same size and my boys thought they were friends and wanted to play. Watching them chase each other was funny and the dogs didn't understand why they didn't play back, they just ran off. I have one who wants to get cats and another who wants get squirrels and bees.
So cute!!!! I love pugs! DH
So cute!!!! I love pugs! DH says I can get a smaller dog when the kids are bigger. Lol
It's not so much to do with
It's not so much to do with the kids as it is that when I moved in, my DH inherited my 3, now down to 2, Great Danes. That's a whole lotta dog on top of 3 kids. We are adding space just for them in our addition/renovation. Haha. I have one boy who sleeps in my oldests room by his bed and another that sleeps in the nursery. They are pretty vigilant with me too. If DH even tickles me and I scream, they go on alert, I have to show them we are just playing. Love my gentle giants.
I would've F'ing railed
I would've F'ing railed him!!!
I agree, I'd report it -
I agree, I'd report it - maybe then the sick little f*%k wouldn't ever think of doing it again.
I don't think is normal anywhere to feed kittens to snakes. Heartbreaking
Poor little things - it would of been a long, painful death being suffocated and crushed as the snake at them alive. Those poor little kittens would of been crying in pain , I know mice make noise too ,but nothing compared to how load a kitten can be.
I wouldn't want that skid in my house ever again. Something is very messed up in that kids head.
As someone else posted - try
As someone else posted - try to find a way to get it circulated on social media - those stories usually spread like wild fire. I hope the twisted little prick didn't video the feeding.
You guys should have talked
You guys should have talked to BM about the kittens before just handing them over to SS. Since you assumed he wanted them as pets, that's a huge responsibility for a kid his age and it's something that most definitely needs to be ran past the parent(s) in the home that the pets are going to live at. It's so bizarre to me that you and your husband would just give a child live animals to take home with him. I would not be impressed if someone else gave my kid two kittens to bring home without talking to me about it first.
If you and your husband had been somewhat responsible in the whole thing, you would have found out ahead of time that SS planned on feeding the kittens to his snake and then you could have decided whether or not you were okay with that.
Barf... what a horrific death
Barf... what a horrific death for those poor kittens.
One of DH's best friends
One of DH's best friends breeds big snakes. When I texted him about this situation he said, and I quote, "That is one sick kid. Puppies and kittens aren't food." Note: he breeds rodents to feed his snakes so take it for what it's worth.
