This is getting too technical for me! Tread on the little buggers!

I was never sure they could not puncture the soles of your shoes and enter your body. I think I tried killing one of those big ones. I was showing of to one of my cousins. I stamped on it , thud thud. Would the bugger die? Its exoskeleton is good protection. I am sure it managed to crawl through a crevice in the mud brick wall minus a few legs.

That night I had nightmares.

Why would you assume humans have more worth than animals? I have not heard of an animal serial killer? Nor do they create a social system based on greed, inequality. scarcity and debt and destroy the planet on the way. Dolphins in L.A. are learning English - they have about 100 words- tell me of one human being that can speak Dolpinese? But what do i know I am just one of those foreigners i.e. non-Cypriot and so as dispensible as a Turkish Cypriot - and Oh my god I live in the next universe known as Paphos - if you want to shoot me - try it one on one, butter person.
Back to the point - poisoning animals is wrong whoever you are and wherever you come from - why do you think the FBI keep records on animal-torturors? - because anyone who can do this, can easily escalate to further acts of atrocities on humans.
And just remember, you short-sighted fool - whenever you travel elsewhare you are a foreigner

Welcome bibsy26

Oh how civilised we would be, if we could escape our nature (red in tooth and claw) just a little more. A Universal Declaration of Animal Rights, should cover us all

(But what of the poor Plant Kingdom ? ... I hear a little weed ask!)

My dog can understand a few dozen (English and Greek) words, and I can understand her (Labradorian doggy-body) language of some several requirements. That's it! She is what she is. Feels a little remorse at stealing forgotten food, the pain of hunger and discomfort. But she would never feel the pain and guilt of killing a rabbit as I would (I once ran over one ~ 20 years ago, and still feel sad) - should I punish her because she violated the Rabbit's Animal Rights?

Different courses for different horses, wouldn't you say?

Dogs created by Man? Was it Gods' day off?

No but the idea of pets was created by humans.

The only post that makes sense here! Bump & bump again!

You would agree, I hope, that the Shark is one of the oldest creatures in existence. There are species of Shark which have a complex relationship with Cleaner Fish. These little fish safely swim into the Shark's mouth for morsels of food. The Shark never harms them: it gets its teeth cleaned. The Cleaner Fish knows he is safe and hangs around with Sharky for his meals

... This was the first, "created", Master-Pet relationship ...

Master-pet relationship? I hoped we have more brains than a bloody shark! Pet ownership should be banned immediately! Breeding of animals for the pleasure of humans should be stopped. No animal should be subjected to capture but live free in the wild.

It's symbiosis ... It is perfectly natural to have cross-species relationships ... (of the decent kind )

"why do you think the FBI keep records on animal-torturors?"

Apparently for the same reason they keep files on animal rights activists. Look up the FBI site today and see for yourself.
