Sorry, changing the subject a bit but milliej did you watch spring watch the other day when the mother owl tore apart her weakest baby to feed the others?! Horrible to watch but nature at its most barbaric and efficient I guess?! Nature can be very cruel I agree but sadly I think humans are the cruellest predators on the planet! When at our worst the damage we cause is horrendous. I've still got 'links' to friends in South Africa and since we left game parks have become very (too) popular. I feel sorry for the 'wild' game but what galls me the most is the foreigners who still go over there to shoot 'big game'. Drives me to distraction at times Although I know it provides work for the locals. Someone told the story recently of tourists on safari going through the park with their windows wound down and a lion grabbed a womans arm as she was taking photo's ....I mean....really.....what's wrong with people. These are WILD animals....dur.....oh oh.....I've just had another rant! P.S. the game ranger refused to have the lion shot but it was moved to another safari park, thankfully. Not sure about the tourist but don't think she lost her arm, she could have been dragged from the car and been dinner!

That was my reaction too milliej when I read that story. Circus animals are another that make my blood boil what these animals have to suffer for the entertainment of others.

Yes your right. Its disgusting what some of us can do! The trophy hunters posing with their kills get me too. These people should walk into a pride of lions without a gun for a fair fight!

Nooo that's not what I had in mind at all! If the lions are hungry they'll be mauled in the most dreadful fashion but if they're not then the silly people might think....ahhh big pussy cat I just wish people had more common sense but hey, this is a minority that act this way, thank the Lord!
