That's why spiders aren't classed as insects either.Quote:

I watched a 'Giant Centipede VS Mouse' Video on youtube.
Terrifying. :fear:
Who won.
That one's to you Ben.
Giant Centipede Eviscerates Mouse

Spoiler: ShowGoes well to Piano Trio in E flat, D.929 - IV. Allegro moderato - Franz Schubert
A draw then.

It's to all our misfortune that despite their obvious lack of status on the evolutonary scale they still possess the opposable thumbs necessary to operate digital recording equipment.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.
Exactly.
Great post.
True story.
What about that shark attacks whale vid on youporn.
Is that wrong. :unsure:
Observant and 100% right....you're on a roll :P.
Almost half eleven.
I didn't enjoy the video
1) because I think giant psycho centipedes are pretty gross.
2) because it was filmed for vicarious pleasure rather than any natural science insight. As rule people who keep pets that prey on mice, such as spiders, snakes and giant centipedes, feed them dead ones warmed up to body temp. They don't usually lob a live one into the cage for fun.
3) It is actually possible to pick pet spiders and snakes up - the latter quite enjoy it - but giant centipedes are very poisonous and are not desperately cuddly.
It's fantastic is what it is.Quote:

Not only have they been taken from their natural environment, but they've had their hunting skills demoted to munching warmed up dead stuff to appease our sense of squeamousness. :no:
That's meaningless, the motivation is neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is that in nature the big bug thing would kill the mouse and eat it. Not necessarily in that order. It would not get a dead one and heat it up to body temperature prior to eating it.Quote:

Why they did it is irrelevant.
In fact it probably gave us a better "natural science insight" for that. As they didn't fell encumbered by the normal social mores when filming it. The BBC would have shown something much more sanitised.
So you're suggesting we don't anthropomorphise morons? Maybe you have a point.
Well giant centipedes do scavenge as well as catch live prey so a dead one is perfectly OK.Quote:

I actually have no issue with the centipede, its motivation is not in question. They are predators, they eat. However, the motivation of the video makers is an issue. They are getting their jollies at the expense of the mouse. A small thing perhaps but I tend to distrust those so jollied as it is often a small step to more vicious past times.
My objection is solely with the video makers - unattractive though I find the wee multi-legged type.
I had the sound off when I watched it so I haven't a clue what you are all talking about. :blink:
