I have a severe disrespect and hatred for any animal that kills just for the sheer fun of it even on a full stomache. And......
-they kill mostly things half their size or smaller
-kill the weakest of whatever group they find
-kill mostly only with assistance of other pack members
-torture their prey first when the opportunity arises
-will turn on a member of their own pack if they sense any sort of percieved weakness
-will seek out another of the pack members defenceless children and kill them
and the most disdainful trait of all
-turn tail like a chicken---- when challenged by anything their own size or something smaller willing to put up a fight.


Of course crows and lions and monkeys aren't exclusive to this categorization

LOL I've never heard of crows doing that. Sounds like you have a problem with nature in general.

-they kill mostly things half their size or smaller If I were gonna kill something I wouldn't go for anything bigger if all I had to use were the weapons I was born with
-kill the weakest of whatever group they find Better chance at success than going for the strongest
-kill mostly only with assistance of other pack members Also increases chances for success
-torture their prey first when the opportunity arises Not every method is as quick as a shot to the head
-will turn on a member of their own pack if they sense any sort of percieved weakness Weak links put the whole pack at risk
-will seek out another of the pack members defenceless children and kill them
and the most disdainful trait of all Population control is a good thing
-turn tail like a chicken---- when challenged by anything their own size or something smaller willing to put up a fight. The only insurance plan available

Are you sure you don't have a problem with nature?

Re: Reticulatd Python hunting in the wild

No not nature in general. Animals that fit all of that criteria is my definition of evil. And have you ever spent time watching crows interact with themselves and their surroundings? - EVIL lol

Re: Reticulatd Python hunting in the wild

No I have owned pretty much every pet there is to own, and live amongst 50 acres of "nature" surrounded by fish, birds, foxes, deer, coyote, bear, snakes, and... well you name it, because I love nature. Its my personal exposure to all of this, pets and the wild on a daily basis, and my understanding and appreciation of it, to know what I like and what I don't like. I know all your counterarguments thoroughly. I understand it. Most animals will have one or some of the above mentioned traits that I have listed. It is the ones that posess all of those combined that I really don't care for that much.

Re: Reticulatd Python hunting in the wild

Ahhhh. Another one of those curious creatures that think there is a direct correlation between their I.Q. and the number of posts they have made on a forum. How 'bout we save the viewers from a drawn out boring pissing match and ingratiate you with the submission that yes, you got me, I hate nature. I tried to pretend I didn't, but alas your superior insight and subsequent interrogation of my views brought the truth to light. You can sleep easy tonight Mr. House

Kat, I think you missed the implied joke in my post about male behavior.

Re: Reticulatd Python hunting in the wild

Like the rest of you I never thought of a snake that large climbing a tree that fast and that easy. That was a great thread.

As for lions and crows and stuff, it's natures way of keeping the small and weak weeded out and assuring that the species as a whole remains strong. Besides everythings gotta eat.

Re: Reticulatd Python hunting in the wild

I wish I could have gotten a video of the 11ft low white pied retic climbing the display tree at Tinley this weekend. Just as awesome.
