Ellen got what she wanted she doesn't have to spam anymore. :P

And this reminded me of a Report I saw some time ago in TV. A polar bear broke a women some bones because she was so stupid and to take better photos she jumpes over a barrier and got near to the "cage-fence".

I hate people that kill animals that kill people because they can't handle them.

Btw. 5:20 am here, should I go to bed?

shit like that pisses me off. it's bad enough that we have to cage them, ogle, and take pictures of them at zoos.

i really wish they hadn't killed the tiger, but Ellen is probably right... they probably had to kill it just to stop it. but why not use tranquilizer's? there is no way an animal sanctuary doesn't have a tranquilizer gun

I never said she wasn't stupid. I'm just saying I wouldn't value the life of a tiger over a human.

I wouldn't get close to any wild animal that big purposely in the first place.

I wonder what the tiger did to the girl. I read the article, but it doesn't say what the tiger did to her. It probably bit her face off ; ;.

I wonder if someone like Tito Ortiz or Chuck "the Iceman" Liddle could fend against a tiger like that. I've heard stores of people killing bears with their pocket knives.

Thatd be cool i guess. But if I ever was attempting to kill a ufc guy id make sure I'd have some kind of gun with me. Then his martial arts/wrestling training would be useless. I'm sorry its just how it is.

Ah yes... the gun, the great equalizer. This talk makes me think of "Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark" when that huge guy has that scimitar and is showing off how sweet ass he is with it and Indy just gets out his gun and shoots him. I get a laugh out of that everytime

I heard somewhwere that Ford had some sort of injury, so they modified the scene so he wouldn't have to go through that swordfight. I liked it that way too.

No what happened was that he was supposed to use his whip but kept messing up. So as a joke he used his gun and they stuck with it. Yea we had a good convo about his before in the intersice. It was with Starnum, just proving to him that even with all his sword training I can still whack him with a gun... no this is not rurouni kenshin.

What would you prefer. That they be left in the wild were their numbers will decrease untill they are probably distinct? So that everyone and there moms has a tiger skin rug?
If humans wouldn't interfere, their numbers would increase. lol we humans can send people to the moon but can't even prevent an animal to be extinct?

but we don't have to keep them in zoos. there should be more free-range type habitats for those types of animals. i know there are already many out there but i think there should be more.

We do prevent them from becoming extinct... That's what zoos are for. Humans will never stop killing animals so that's why we need zoos. To prevent them from becoming extinct.

They hardly reproduce in zoos. So they will become extinct anyway.

Humans double in number every 10 years. There is no way we can stop the extinction of animals unless we start killing alot of humans or castrating the males.

The only way for them to not become extinct is for humans to be an endangered species. :P
