I understand that whole thing about having to survive, but damn!, do they have to go after the babies? It hurts to watch those animal shows on Discovery, seeing animals being killed by such a large animal. Hearing the screams of the animal being eaten....I just wish they all could eat grass, trees, and such. Yeah, I'm a girl.<BR/><BR/>Sounds to me like one of those PETA freaks tried to get you, Firehand.

One managed to get away with 2 broken ribs, two cracked vertebrae a broken shoulder and fractured skull, all delivered in about 3 seconds. Another managed to get hold of a nose ring and hold on and twist while the animal tried to spread him thinly accross a concrete yard. A third was saved by her husband sticking a muck fork into the animal, fourth and fifth gentlemen were killed. I knew all first hand. at one degree of seperation, I know of at least two more fatalities. <BR/><BR/>That is with "peaceful" cattle, domesticated over the past 10,000 years, not wild lions...<BR/><BR/>KeithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-62808567564295952592008-10-16T08:29:00.000-07:002008-10-16T08:29:00.000-07:00Sounds like someone who learned everything they kn...Sounds like someone who learned everything they know about nature from Disney cartoons.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.com
