Arthrus said:The whole process takes like 5 seconds. Not like he spent a few minutes playing around with a drowning, ripped-up mouse first.

Birds just be chillin' and he's suddenly all like "MOTHERFUCKER I EAT YOU" to some poor pigeon.
Mumei said:Have you seen the actual video? You'd think that stupid pelican would give up after get its throat lacerated from the inside.

Maybe we should take the hint and stop trying to make more of them for our pleasure.Axion22 said:I didn't see pandas mentioned yet.
We are trying really hard to make more of them and they don't even want to breed.
SolidusDave said:mh I think there is a cut (pun not intended) between the turtle rips it in half and the mouse swimming away. Can't be too long of course.
I searched for original video and its actually a compilation Oo
The bitchslap move of the Turle is probably supposed to decapitate them, but in most cases it just shreds them apart or skinning them with the mouse/rat still living.

a big douchebag move was also just holding the intact rat while it tries to swim up, waiting for it to drown
though I guess the real douchebag animal was the human for throwing rodents in that aquarium to film the slaughter (they normally eat fish etc but don't really care).
at least he didn't push that guinea pig in...
is it less douchy to eat live fish?Buttchin said:that turtle specifically is defiantely a douche, as is its owner (douche by proxy)... are mice a normal part of snapping turtle diets? i thought fish would be more prevalent?
Pandaman said:is it less douchy to eat live fish?
I'm sure they do, speared fish get frantic and try to rub against things to get it offG-Fex said:Well Mice feel pain and fish don't.
Least I heard they don't.

missbreedsiddx said:That doesn't necessarily indicate they feel pain. A creature can register dangerous situations or environments without feeling actual pain. Lobsters for instance can sense even the smallest change in water temperature through their antennae, but aren't able to feel pain. They frantically try to escape a pot of boiling water because they register that the water they are in is dangerous and they will die. It isn't pain or fear, it's just instinct.
I don't know about fish though, I've heard conflicting information about the complexity of their brains and nerves and whether they can feel pain.

Mudkips said:I can stab a human and see all of the same reactions as a fish, an insect, etc.
I have no reason to believe a human feels, thinks, or is conscious any more than I do for any other life form.
As far as I know, they're all just exhibiting the hard-wired reactions of systems of various complexity.
Living things that react to harmful stimuli feel pain.
This is what pain is.
The degree to which they express it and the degree to which it distresses them very, but to suggest that fish or insect don't feel pain is baseless, illogical, and arrogant.
I get what you're trying to say, but even if the creature doesn't know what pain is, I'm sure stabbing it in the gut probably triggers a very terrible sensation that it wants to do away with ASAP. Just as you instinctively take your hand away if you touch a hot surface. Also a lobster wouldn't be trying to escape a boiling pot if it didn't "feel" uncomfortable.missbreedsiddx said:You are adorably naive but thats why gaf loves you.
We know human's feel pain because they physically have the ability to do so. The brain, spinal cord and nervous system allows us to do so. In many other creatures, such as lobster, they lack the complexity in those systems to be able to process pain. This isn't a philosophical debate about what pain is, it's simply biologically impossible for certain creatures to experience pain.

Fish can even feel itchy too you know. My fish with a case of ich would always rub against a rock.

They're not even suppose to be herbivores, which is why they need to eat tons and tons of very specific plants.Shin_Kojima said:Maybe we should take the hint and stop trying to make more of them for our pleasure.
MadraptorMan said:Hippos are EASILY the biggest douchebag animals. Or maybe they are worse...biggest a-holes?
Anyway, I hate hippos. They kill more people in Africa every year than lions do, and they aren't even carnivorous.

missbreedsiddx said:This is where it gets hard for people to grasp the concept of it, it was for me as well and still is to some degree. We associate actions like jerking our hand away with pain, and assume that all defensive motions made my creatures are for the same reaction. It's hard to grasp the idea of pure instinct, of reaction not because of pain but because one of your few basic functions allow you to understand situations that are bad for your survival odds. To separate pain from instinct is hard for us, seeing as we do almost everything based on whether it feels good/bad.
Just a bigass rat.Gui_PT said:
