No. The point is that rodents frequently get fed to snakes alive, and no-one bats an eyelid. When there's a kitten people involved people get all outraged, and claim 'cruelty to animals', and the perpetrator should be 'sent to the gallows'. It seems to me that the cudlliness factor is doing its usual disproportionate thing.
Edit: According to
petplace.com, a Burmese Python should be fed one five-pound Rabbit every two to three weeks.

How Much Should You Feed?
One meal a week should be sufficient. How much this meal will consist of depends upon the size of your snake. An adult corn snake, for instance, should be fed two small mice a week; an adult boa, one larger mouse or rat per week, a Burmese python, one five-pound rabbit every two to three weeks; a garter snake, eight to 12 earthworms per week. If fed too much snakes will become obese. This happens most often when the snake ages.
