It's all a matter of who's being fed and who's the food, ain't it?

: Without more context, I too would agree with Stephen's solution...they probably are talkingg about reptiles here, I know it would freak my wife out to see a live mouse thrown to a python for food in a pet store!

feeding live prey
An alternative that's maybe a little less ambiguous than Stephen's own solution... ;-)

Yes it does. Prey usually gets eaten, rather than the other way around...
