fasinating to watch natural at work

Yuck, call me a wimp, but I hate stuff like this.

Went fishing once from a canoe in piranha infested swamp; the speed with which they devour prey in the wild is unbelieveable. Catching them was not difficult; taking the hooks out in the dark was.

What was this the hornet thing again?

Now to get this car related, has anyone seen the joke movie of the ford ka eating the cat? Obviously fake but very funny, in a black comedy kinda way

It was worse than the hornet thing, 4 piranahas plus a live mouse in a private aquarium. The mouse was alive but half eaten, fighting to reach to the surface, horrible stuff. Why not feed the fish worms, its debatably less cruel and just as good for the fish.

Tell that to one of my cats, which in the last 2 weeks has caught 3 mice (eaten 2 of them), and a songbird (never found the head)

Out and out sadism then, Ive seen such terrible things posted on the net before. I frequent 2ch style image boards, which while being comedy gold on a good day, is known for idiots posting horriffic things on a bad day. People on the forum were beying for blood when someone posted a picture of a tortured cat, multiple times. Apparently the person in japan who took them rightly ended up in prison.

At least the board helped prepare me for hand scraping chicken guts out of chicken quarters during the low point in my career a year and a half ago. I have never eaten KFC chicken pieces since

Ive heard of similar things. People crushing mice and torturing them, microwaving them etc. Feeding them live to fish who are just as happy to eat other things is one step removed but juse as cruel imho. If you were a dog lover, feeding live dogs to lions would be just as cruel, given that the event is filmed and posted on the net on an entertainment jokes and funny stuff website.

Standard practice in Chinese Zoos where theyve only just announced that the feeding of live horses to lions will no longer take place.
However other live animals will be allowed to be fed to the other animals by zoo visitors.

Boycott the Chinese, dont buy anything from them, theyre barbaric. I do my damdest not to buy chinese products after seeing what they did to their own people in Tiananmen Square.
