hmmm... a 'pede farm... well if I ever make it to China or Thailand, I'll be sure to find one! Thanks for the tip!Mister Internet said:They farm the "red head subspinipes" variant over there quite productively... it wouldn't be worth anyone's time to pull them en masse from the wild. I know, I've gone wild pede hunting before, and it's a wicked way to make a buck.
No problem!Pulk said:

Haha, it means I agreed with something that was said. It's an Australian expression (I've got Australian friends). You can also shorten it to "Oath.".

I agree. animals kill only when they need to eat. human kill for fun sometime. not only do we kill, but we sometime torture in such a sick and cruel way.
look up "earthlings" on youtube. there are 3 parts to the movie and make sure that you watch them all.

True, and then there are the bears who are kept alive for years as they extract bile through open holes in their sides day after day, while cramped into a small box, never seeing the light and praying that every day will be its last.
I'll have to check it out.

This is yet another ridiculous anthropomorphism of animals... there are TONS of animals that kill out if what we would call "malice" or "for the fun of it". There is a boatload of literature on this very subject... arbitrary/wasteful killing is NOT solely a human pursuit.
If I judged my worth as a human by humanity's worst examples, I'd have killed myself years ago.
Anyway, how about those centipedes?
Male lions will kill cubs of from another male to induce the female to go into heat again to get his gene's into the mix
Ive seen killer whales chase a baby hump back(not sure exactly what specie of baby whale it was)for three three hours only to eat its tounge.
And ive seen dolphins attack a smaller breed of porpose for no reason at all.The dolphin would hit it at speed,sometime's causing it fly 5,10 feet out of the water.The scientists were actually blaming oil and other large companies saying that they were using explosive's under water wich would somewhat cause the same type of internal damage as the dolphins were.This was kinda of shocking.I never thought dolpins would behave like that.They still have no idea why they are doing this.
This is just a few off the top of head.

All of these exceptions combined could never even scratch the surface of what people are doing every day. Again, try living in a third world country.
O, and I have no qualms about being human. I am just disgusted that that places me amongst a vast majority of ignorant and selfish swines.

yes, i have seen all these stuff on the discovery channel. I just think that human, given the brain that we got, should know better.
anyway, let's refocus on the topic: scolopendra cough medicine.

Actually, I wasn't arguing with you, but someone else. I agree that we should know better.
About the cough medicine, we've got medicine in Holland called Tijm Siroop (Syrup). It works wonders and no animals were used in the making. But China, a country with 5000 years of history, must know better.

Really need to look for it but I could've sworn there was a documentary showing a centipede breeding farm and the benefits of scolopendra venom.

I remember reading about it in this forum, but it was a very very very old thread somewhere.
only the redlegged ones have medical significant (that's what someone said).

I hav trouble believing that company farms all the animals. Are you guys all sure that these farms are not merely storage places for WC animals?
