The Australian prime minister said: 'Take a baby crocodile from its mother and see how you go there' when asked about the incident.
It's just a trend. It'll pass.The Internet was a mistake.
i hear your point, on the hunting thing.How much different is this from a trophy hunter proudly posing next to a dead animal? To which the crowd replies "This is different! A mother is involved." Type Trophy hunter images into your search engine. How different are those from that gleeful woman in the video?
At the pack station I used to watch the Haiwee herd each year. About 200 individuals. Then it was 50-75. Last time I checked I counted 17. Fish andGameWildlife justifies it as over population control which it is, because the trophy hunters, legal and otherwise have slaughtered the predators. Once removed from what is seen in that video.
Viewed from the role of stewardship on this ball of dirt, paint it pink and pour perfume on it. Depredation is still depredation.
"Indignation is cheap. Even Albert Schweitzer's reverence for life didn't include the mosquito or tsetse fly."
Support the right to bear arms should have the reciprocal; support the right to arm bears.
Pardon my silly naive thinking. It's the traditionalist native mindset in me that wants to hold mother nature in reverence.
Just to mention, I'm Lakota. We have certain sentiments in regards to the buffalo, but that is our private business and steeped in tradition. Same goes for all predation.i don’t know if i am still on same page as you?
I know. Which is why i asked.Just to mention, I'm Lakota. We have certain sentiments in regards to the buffalo, but that is our private business and steeped in tradition. Same goes for all predation.
Three traditional aspects. The natural and spiritual worlds are integral and the involvement in them is entirely private shared by none, even the closest relative. The tribal, which recognizes the individuals relationship and incorporates the recognition into the social affairs, and more nebulous, intertribal gatherings which are the most mundane. Essentially the polar opposite to modern religions. Natural-spiritual a basis for our commonality many tribes share. but that 'core' is very private and personal. So no, conversations? About what?its hard to have a conversation about the subject, if no opinions are stated.
.........and, by the way, who was the Aussie holding the camera and kind of egging her on............or at least exhibiting amusement with the whole thing?I think everyone needs to pull away from the computer. She grabbed a common wombat. Not rare, not endangered. Not even threatened. They are treated like American trash pandas. A lot of farmers shoot common wombats on sight and do the old shovel and shut up trick.
What makes what she did any different then what hundreds of others have done for fame. Whole shows are created by people running up grabbing the first living thing they see and show off for a camera.
What's the difference? Oh one was from your childhood, so he is ok. the other is some rando online. Is that want makes the difference?
As for the native thing, who was first? Are you sure, because I know you are not.
How in the world am I suppose to know? I have not seen the video, just the pics. But does it matter. Steve irwin was allowed to do it because someone egged him on? Or was he allowed to do it because no one egged him on? What exact difference is there?.........and, by the way, who was the Aussie holding the camera and kind of egging her on............or at least exhibiting amusement with the whole thing?
