Indeed. It is a jungle out there. Orcas play with seals before killing them, just like cats play with mice. Male lions kill baby male cubs if not their own and male bears kill little cubs. I could go on and on. In some species the mothers eat their young. I am not for cruelty to animals but I am also against making animals out to be saints and angels. There should be a balance.
Exactly! My cat Smokey catches lizards, chews their legs off and then takes his paw and tries to get them to run. If the poor lizard does have enough strength to get up, he sets his paw on its back after he lets it drag itself a couple of inches. He does this until the lizard finally dies, but does he eat it? No. He leaves it by the front door.... maybe as a reminder for all the other lizards (?) Anyway, he's a horrible kitty! Animals are very cruel to one another, and it seems that sometimes they do it for amusement.

If they had the reasoning power and poseable thumbs that humans have, I have no doubt you'd see a bunch of cats out there placing bets with Smokey on how long that lizard would live.;)

Disney has made us all think that animals are innocent, sweet little beings. They can be, but not in the wild.

However, man taking the natural instincts of survival that animals have and exploiting it for gambling purposes is just wrong.

don't tell some people this who haven't even been on a farm much less sniff one. it's called nature.

blood sport? lol.
Oh ya that sniffing part is brutal. I always laughed when someone new to the poultry industry stepped into a chicken house. The amonia always stopped them about two feet into the door then, they turned around and walked out, everytime. I know it smells bad but, all that amonia makes for the worlds best naturally occuring fertilizer. Nothing makes grass grow like chicken litter, nothing.

A chicken plant will knock you on the ground as well.

I won't debate if the event itself is right or wrong.

I will say, though, that posting pics of it? Unwise.

Personally I despise any activity that is cruel to animals and it matters not to me if it's legal or illegal.

No....this doesn't even compare with the Michael Vick debacle but I'm still disappointed in Kareem.

I'm one of those guys who'll wreck to keep from running over the squirrel....lol....and I simply can't stand animal cruelty.

Just my two cents. Doesn't mean I'm right.

please tell me you are joking. im sure someone will be relieved, when giving the eulogy to their two daughters, that at least the squirrel was saved.

i once had a woman slam on the brakes out of nowhere to avoid a squirrel. i missed ramming her by inches. if we had collided i think i would have pulled her out and given her a curbie for endangering our lives and costing us $1000's over a tree rat.

It was an analogy dude. Chill. I'm not the President of the "Save the Squirrel Foundation"..lol..

That's like me saying "I'm a guy who can't see the forest for the trees" and you replying, "Please tell me your joking..I once had a wreck because a woman who needed eyeglasses hadn't seen her opthamologist and she ran me off the road into a tree"..

Maybe I should have put (Not literally) after my statement about the squirrel.

Must be the off season :) Growwwwwwl

I don't think there was anything wrong KJ attending a cockfight. I wouldn't have posted it on twitter. As far as PETA, they are a bunch of hypocrites. If they love animals so much why don't they become vegetarians.
A lot of them are. If being stewards of the planet and protecting animals from unnecessary harm is being a hypocrite, then count me in that number.

My wife put my 2010 Camaro (with a $15,000 SLP adder) in a ditch when a cat ran out in front of her. Don't get me wrong here, I love animals I have horses and dogs, but, by no means will I hit a ditch or endanger others for a cat, deer, dog or any other animal.

I dunno, if it's safe to swerve, I would try avoiding hitting a dear head on. Trust me... :)
