I fully support Peta


Now brb while I go eat a Steak.

I can't remember the species name exactly, our 2 birds were named after the name of the species and we called them Quintin and Quintarian. So I'm assuming it starts with a Q. They were mostly grey, shaped a lot like a parrot and had patches of green, yellow and red under/on their heads. Next time I see my dad I will see if he can tell me what species they were, I'm sure he can. He always know that kind of thing.

So basically what you're saying I put my rabbits in tiny cages?

Their natural habitat? If I had a wild rabbit, I would say their natural habitat, would be the wild... My rabbits are not wild, but domesticated rabbits, their natural habitat was and will never be in the wild, so what would their natural habitat be? Considering they don't even live in a cage, you really haven't got a clue about me or my rabbits.

So tell me, is this wrong, the guy "set them free", but all the animals were shot dead!!
These are wild animals, and shouldn't be caged in the first place, there is a difference between caging a wild animal and having a domesticated animal as a pet.

Shot dead to protect humans. Sounds ok to me. We're all animals after all and those of the same species tend to look out for each other.

I don't think lions, tigers, etc are native to that region... would cause major problems. Apparently they didn't have the resources to shoot them with tranquilizers, then track, cage, and relocate them all.

Yeah at the end of the day, we're all animals. But why is a human life greater then an another animals life? It is just a waste of life, why not tranquillise them, and then take them to zoo.

But oh well.

Nah, that's bullshit!
There was no way the animals should have been killed.. tranquilizers would have got the job done Just fine!

Im too tired to make the quotes, but basically
"You guys are applying human mentality to canines."
Could you not say this, for say the pigs/cows/etc in the farms? They were born there, they dont know a life beyond it, they probably could not survive alone in the wild.

Yes not everyone cages pets etc, but i was showing the extremes, which is bascially what the video is showing. Im sure there are farms where animals are kept outside then slaughtered.

I dont give a shit about people keeping animals as pets or eating them for meat, I was just showing the hypocrisy of people that are against eating animals for meat yet cage them (whether cramped inside a small house or in a small garden)


Erm
All animals are wild
Till they become domesticated

Yeah you're right. Most police departments have the equipment to shoot, tranquilize, track, cage, transport/relocate 50+ wild animals.


Now welcome back to reality. It's sad, but they didn't have much choice.

Not all, if you let a dog free, he'd return to you instead of going straight to the wood.
Since his birth, he's born in a cage or somewhere not in the wild. It's rare to see a wild dog now. No where in the genetic code says "this species has to live in the wild". It's a matter of being kept in a cage or not.

The cats, dogs, pets of today have about as much in common as you do to a ape - you're both mammals with very similar DNA, and that's about it.

Today's pets - cats and dogs - have been bred and domesticated for thousands of years. A true wild animal has not.

Thank you

If I set my rabbit free into the woods, he'll be dead probably within a week. He'll either will be eaten by Mr.Fox, eaten something he shouldn't, or will starve to death. Why? because he isn't a wild animal, he was born into a rescue. I would show you photos, but I cannot be bothered!

About the animals that were shot dead, because they are born into captivity, they wouldn't know how to survive in the wild. Some of those animals (tiger), are an endangered species, over hunted by humans, put into a breeding program, will hopefully save the species in the wild. But completely honest with you, those poor animals were neglected and probably better off where they are now, then being with that man.
