The survey is flawed 
it should be:
live
Pk
f/t
stunned
to cover the widest range of possibilities.

Nope, other members here feed frozen, but they thaw it out first . In order to increase traffic to your poll it would be a good ideal to make sure that the poll actually reflected the options available.
Try again.

I feed f/t to Yeya and L.A, Nova eats f/t sometimes but mostly live. Tatoo eats only live. Panda (cal. king) eats f/t

I feed F/T...I don't like watching the mice/rats being eaten I feel too bad. Until the day comes that I have a snake that will only eat live I will always feed F/T.

That is actually "splitting hairs." That cow didn't jump on your bun in that form by him/herself. Neither did that pork chop come in that shape, and I am sure that the chicken tried to keep his legs. 
and lots of people are hurt working to give us the meat that we eat.

Yes but I would much rather be smacked against a wall or killed by CO2 than squeezed and suffocated to death. Plus I just don't like watching them suffer I would rather have someone else do it. If I had to P/K a food source myself I would do the CO2 method for sure.
My mom suggested a vegetarian snake....no comment

So far...I have feed live mice to my bp. I keep a close eye on things to make sure that things go okay. Stripe has so far proven herself to be good at the capture and killing of prey. I can understand how this could bother some people as being cruel, but to me it's no big deal. I look at it that nature is just taking it's course.

well Mice are sometimes a problem but it is more a question of how old and the size of your BP, the bigger it is the more likely you want rats to breed and they are easier from what I see to breed, I've bred both so it dont matter.
