By Crikey Crocodile hunter is dead

[matt.o]

It is really sad that he died. He was just a genuinely nice and well-meaning guy. He did a lot for Australia and he took good care of the animals at the zoo. Unfortunately though, I disagree with all of your statements that he was a good conservationist. He just wasn't a conservationist. He more of a zoologist and he was a good man that unfortunately died in an unforeseen attack.

Then Peter Brock dies in the same week by crashing his car in a rally race :(

Really crappy week when you think about it. My condolences go to the families of these two men.

I doubt many people on here know who Peter Brock is, but yes 'twas a crappy week.

all animals/insects have a purpose ;)

how can you possibly say that? I can name lots of animals that don't serve a "purpose" whatever that means. Human beings being at the top of the list.

Our food chain would rapidly crumble beneath us if we began wiping out whole species. Each species of animal (insects are animals) occupy a specific ecological niche and provide a function of that ecosystem. There was a similar thread not so long ago in GD about conservation.

Isn't the purpose of that poll to root out more kitten-haters to ban?

As a side note: I don't hate kittens. I mean just look at em! They're EVIL! What's not to love?

Should have really checked his post history :rofl: . I don't often venture into GD, as you can probably tell. As for the evil cats, I would have to agree with you after seeing this!

Spiders can go as well, spiders are evil

Yeah, don't take anything I say seriously, but seriously how would hunting narwhals into extinction affect us? because I think the one thing we can all agree on is this: the comfort and well being of human beings (american) should be top priority.

Absolutely. Without a doubt. Who can fault that logic?

Florida man critical after flying stingray attack
By Times Online and AP in Lighthouse Point

An 81-year-old man is in a critical condition in Florida after a stingray leapt out of the Atlantic Ocean and embedded its poisonous barb in his chest. [continued]

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,11069-2411749,00.html

Too weird...

 

[Aether]

Doctors were able to remove the barb during surgeries Wednesday and Thursday by eventually pulling it through his heart and closing the wound, said Dr. Eugene Costantini at Broward General Medical Center.

Not only did this stingray leap onto Mr. Bertakis' boat and stab him in the chest, it stabbed him in the heart. There are sensors that can detect the heartbeat of a concealed person; I wonder if this is no coincdence, and the stingrays are actually aiming for the heart.

btw, I met this guy face to face last week:
