It amazes me how many ignorant people there are out there. Every time I go on YouTube to look for
videos on Tarantula care & handling, I always seem to come across a video of someone filming a
Tarantula & Scorpion or 2 Tarantulas fighting till the death, while these idiots are laughing in the
background.
The other day I typed in 'Brachypelma Albopolisum' and on the first page there was a video of some
Russian kid putting a fully grown mouse (which was actually bigger than the Tarantula) into the tank.
I actually watched this because I thought that there was no way that the T was going to go for the
mouse - not at that size. But I was wrong, and a disturbing fight ensued which resulted in the pair
rolling about and a nightmarish squealing coming from the mouse.
There was also another similar video, though a bit grainy, where the mouse looked even bigger and
the noise from the suffering mouse was like something out of a nightmare. I couldn't believe what I
was seeing and hearing.
Anyway, every time I come across these kinds of videos I flag and report them as animal abuse, so
hopefully they will get taken down. Has anyone else come across these?
