killer whale kills someone

Necro:
Of course, I can't find it now but I was reading something a few months back about cats - they basically aren't domesticated, but instead evolved specifically to fill a niche offered by humans and can easily move between what would be called 'feral' and 'domestic' activities.  This is primarly because cat's weren't extensively bread to expand upon certain features - at least not historically.  Maybe to be a 'mouser', but that's it.  They retained the vast majority of their 'survival/feral' capabilities because of the extensive breeding that occurs across the world of stray cats.

This is unlike dogs that were bred for special tasks for thousands of years - basically a highly 'forced' evolution/adaptation that resulted in animals that are incapable of surviving in the wild or, in some cases (bull dogs I believe) incapable of breeding without human intervention (they can't give birth except via c-section).    Stray dogs align more with the cats as mentioned above, but they are much less prevalent then cats.

The article was about how cats are starting to be hard-core domesticated like dogs in some cases via breeding (for looks) and how it may have influences on their behavior.

...and yeah.  A cat will eat your corpse no problem.  Hell.  My one cat tries to eat my head every day.  That or she's determined to lick my head clean.  Could be a bit of both.

It's surprising what you can do to a whale with only a 30% stomp to the forehead.

protokatie:
Humans are the most caged animal on Earth. We have organized religion, government, forum rules and society. We let others of our own kind tell us what to think and how to act. We even go so far as to allow others to tell us how to act around other animals (IE, an animal does what it does because it is an animal).

And we accept this, but only because we are told to do so (or else).

As per the whale... Well, I guess we could give it a citation to show up to court on grounds of negligent homicide (well cant be homicide, as homo means same...), but I highly doubt it will show up. It's a firkken whale.

BTW, Why is it that life is considered tragic, but we only say so when life ends?

northerngames:
its terrible it happened but it was bound to happen eventually humans don't belong in the water with something like that around let alone swimming with one in a small pool.

I don't blame the whale for it at all.

a little off topic but for me it's kinda like the bullfighters they stab it to death but when it attack's the human knock's them out or tramples them etc. other's come in to save the human and kill the bull.

I say if you want to make a game out of animals life like that then and you step in there to fight that animal to the death like that then fight it to the death but nobody come's out until one or the other is dead wether it is the human or bull.

do I feel sorry for the matador that got his ass kicked no he got what he wanted and deserved for playing that type game becuase there is nobody there to save the bull when he is down.

if you need to be saved then you dont belong in there.
