Geez, Bill, do we have to explain EVERYTHING to you?? The reason that bird was belly up was because of all the nao-thermite sprayed on it's back. The truth will be revealed soon, possibly in the next few days, that it was penguins sprayed with nano-thermite that brought down the trade center towers. Building 7? That's where the excess penguins were stored.HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

This video makes me happy Edit: For the title that people seemed to be so focused on #1 - any group fighting for the good of creatures must make you happy #2 - Killing non-human animals is great, huh? Edit for what? People who want factual accuracy? We've extincted how many species? And when we fuck with nature we have boom-bust cycles that sometimes really fuck things up. Amazing these humans, we often kill species that would die to save us. WOW, there must be a god as many of the pro-animal killers justify their deeds by. BTW, show me where killing whales is a part of homo sapien's natural plan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every predator species will kill and kill until either the source of the food runs out or they go extinct (or nearly so.) It's part of nature's plan. Google "the wolves and moose of Isle Royale" for a good example of this. We are fortunate that we can rise above that and decide "you know, it would be fun/profitable/bellyfilling to kill all those whales, but maybe there's some value in _not_ killing them all." A good thing IMO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One doesn't wash the other since humans usualy have immediate control over other species. QuoteEvery predator species will kill and kill until either the source of the food runs out or they go extinct (or nearly so.) It's part of nature's plan. Point is, homo sapien was designed to predate on vegetation only.
