Re: 4 Chinese Nationals Accused of Eating 40 Rare Endangered Zimbabwe Tortoises
HAHA My first encounter with a snapper was while I was in the military. I went up to GSE (General Support Equipment) and they had caught a turtle. They placed this five dollar foot long in a big round metal tub and filled it with all the amenities a turtle could want. Well, I was up there one day and my buddy was helping me change my brake pads and I wander over to this tub, see a turtle and hold my finger just above the water. It starts to chase after my finger and I'm getting a kick out of it and just as my friend says "oh yeah that turtle? It's a snapper." it jumps out of the water and lunges for my pointer! I pulled away just in time but I was a little shaken up (yeah, I know you all thought I was gonna get bit). After that... well, lets just say I have a lot more respect for mother nature and the creatures that inhabit this Earth. |

Survival of the fittest. It's a cold and harsh world out there. We can't waste our resources trying to accommodate other species. We should focus that energy and money on trying to advance our own. I mean what's the point? If we save a species and it begins to thrive we won't be able to enjoy it if we're extinct. |

huh? Bollocks. It is possible to appreciate nature and to underestimate its importance just reeks of ignorance. For example. If plankton were to somehow turn poisonous, guess what will happen to the world. Guessed yet? Pretty much most of the planet would die out. Understand the importance of natural balance yet? |
