Live food to feed the snake handlers pets?

The bunny comes from old pagan ceremonies celebrating spring. I did ask my pastor, when I was 13 or 14, what it was about. He said that it was about new life, like the resurrection.

Oh, I guarantee a Catholic rabbit would be snake food in a heartbeat. The only problem is, live prey the size of a rabbit will make the snake irritable, no good for handling, and will bite the shit out of you, even if the holy ghost is holding your other hand. I once had a job teaching everything in the nature hut, including Reptile Study Merit Badge for the Boy Scouts of America. I caught and kept a variety of snakes, to familiarize the scouts with. When I eat, I feel like a nap. When a snake eats and has a big lump part the way down, they get nasty if you pick them up, no matter their normal temperament.

Ishtar | Goddess, Worship, & Facts | Britannica
Ishtar, in Mesopotamian religion, goddess of war and sexual love. Ishtar’s primary legacy from the Sumerian tradition is the role of fertility figure; she evolved, however, into a more complex character, surrounded in myth by death and disaster, a goddess of contradictory connotations and forces.

The rabbit is the sign of fertility, spring, renewal.
Why was this a question for fundamental evangelical Protestants?
Ok, but what are you trying to accomplish? Isn't there already enough division?
