I haven't got a problem with the worm beast eating the mouse, merely that it's doing it for the amusement of a bunch of retards.

Again, I think it's doing it because that's what it does. I'm quite sure it never gave a seconds thought as to whether it would be amusing anyone. Whether or not they had learning difficulties.

Are you opposed to national history programmes showing hunting, killing and eating. Sometimes prey being eaten while it is still alive, albeit the victim may be in shock.

Maybe that was worded poorly. I object to an animal doing what it's doing naturally but in a completely alien, man-made environment while a bunch of baying juveniles take amusement from it. I don't have a problem with what it's doing.....more the people who out of some sick morbid fascination are filming and photographing an animal obviously in pain, having staged the whole thing. It's barbaric.

And it fucks me right off that this is ok, yet when I work on animals I get protestors yelling abuse at me, despite the fact that if I was involved in anything like this I would be fired and possibly imprisoned.

Dupe

I'm genuinely not seeing your problem. The event itself is perfectly natural and would happen whether or not the pricks filmed it. All they are doing is recording what is happening, they aren't actually causing it to happen per se.

It's really not any different to what someone like David Attenborough does. He and people like him record nature, as it happens then broadcast it to millions of people. Which is exactly what happens in that video.

I have seen BBC documentaries which show that type of thing happening. How is it different.

EDIT - Busy edits excepted.

It's different in the ways I explained. Either I'm bad at explaining, in which case I apologise, or you're a bit fick, in which case you should. Maybe someone else can adjudicate.

No need for an adjudicator, we're just chatting about stuff.

Are you like a competitive person in :earl: or something else.

The only difference is that you are making a value judgement on the people who are recording the event. The event itself is just the harshness of nature.
