First, I wasn't aware that there were two different people using the
owdicat address (Mom and Daughter apparently). So now I'm straight on that.
On to your question. Absolutely no difference. There is nothing wrong
with crushing the heads of prey. If you have the time and it makes you feel
better to do it, then by all means, do it. The point is simply this, there
is no reason to do it. The only problem arises when people say that you HAVE
to do it. This just isn't true.

Nope. Not at all.

I'll let Julie answer for herself here, but since I agree with her
statement and if you asked me this question, my answers would be. 1. Because
it just isn't necessary. 2. It creates a scare that just isn't necessary.
Take care,
