There are some laws England for example restricting feeding live prey but I do not know of any general prohibition of the practice in the US unless the treatment of the prey was unduly cruel and unnecessary.

There are pet stores that will not sell certain animals if they believe that the purchaser will use them for live feed or bait and they are well within their rights to refuse such sales. I know of no US Supreme Court cases on the issue.
