[go watch "grizzly man" the documentary about the bear-loving treadwell who was mauled to death, along with his girlfriend, by the subjects he so admired]

Thanks Nick....you always have the right words and ways of saying things....what you said is EXACTLEY what i wanted to convey....maybe you posted to help me along...lol...thanks either or brother.

Well when you come up with a better way to move crocs away from humans and back into their natural habitat I'm sure they would like to hear about it......

Originally posted by ludawg23 Your comparison here has no reference to stingrays and is completely retarded. Stingsrays are considered non-lethal animals and to reference them against deadly fires and firearms is irrelevant. There's a reason why stingrays are in the petting areas of aquariums and what not. If you saw a stingray in the ocean, would you naturally be afraid of it in comparison to that of a...shark? I don't think so.

That's because I was not referring them to Sting Rays or any other animal for that matter. My comments were directed torwards what he was saying about..."Animals are dangerous so leave them alone." Sorry but that's not a good enough reason.

when i said leave them alone i meant how would you like it if some greater species came into your house and started poking you in the head to evoke some sort of reaction from you...which is what irwin did.

ok fine break into your house and lift you up, move you around, etc etc which is what he did to snakes and many other creatures.

but seriously, you think those animals gave a shit after he put them back?
they wouldnt be like "damn that ****** just picked me up. i didnt like that. im going to remeber this guy for next time and make sure i get out of his way"

more like:
"unusual situation. fight/flight. ok back on ground. where's food?"

hunters have a complex

and lack the most basic sense of human sensitivity...

Damn that Steven Irwin for picking up the kangaroo that got itself all tangled up in a fence and would have died if left there. Damn him again for jumping up on that croc and relocating it back into the wild instead of leaving him in that persons back yard where it probably would have killed someone or gotten hit by a car. Damn him for doing the same thing to a snake that could have been in the same situation as that croc.

Honestly, did you ever watch the damn show and see what he does and why he does it?

like he wassent touching it or on top of it like he is usually doing with animals
the sting ray just felt his space was being violated i guess and attacked him

hunters are 1st class cowards it is pitiful how someone
can enjoy such activity instead of contemplating nature
creating art or helping others i would never associate with
a person who hunts for entertainment i find it to be the
most distasteful endeavor taking a life

I'm sure that elephant enjoyed having a camera stuck in it's eye for your art.

And by the way, hunting is helping people, not to mention the animal populations. Since we've already done this once, I'm not going to bother re-explaining, though. It's obvious that your feelings and sensitivities have gotten in the way of your logic and I'm not going to change that.

I think he means hunting for sport. Ya know, shooting the biggest deer in the forrest for a trophy and not even using it for the meat and eating it.

That's the only shit that pisses me off. But if you hunt to feed yourself, well that is a different story for me atleast.

i don't think this was much of a suprise

i'd relate it to people that climb mount everest etc...

groundhog

you know well you aren't into helping anyonexcept
your littlego complex as a coward per excellence such
"recreational" activity it is about having a lack of power
and influence in others of your same species...

hunting destroys the magic of creation not having
appretiation for nature and ecology is sad justifying
your "sport" doesn't have any merits instead do yoga
dance or go running your sentitivity and heart will
improve greatly and hopefully soon realize thenergy
and priceless value "de la vida misma"

What does a marvel superhero have to do with anything?

all humans be superheros helping others and thearth

OK, I'm glad you got that out of your system. Like I said, I'm not really into arguing with your emotion-filled, logic-void poems. Your mentality is one that ecologists world-wide would argue with, but like I said, go ahead and have your opinions.

the bottom line is you are a wimp and hunting is
your fantasy scape to an empty illusion of power
