I just watched a horrible movie about two tiger cubs separated by some asshole hunter who was brave enough to shoot the mother, but not the cubs. One was given to a family and the hunter eventually gave the other to a zoo.
Years later, they ended up in a fighting ring together and wouldn't fight each other. Eventual escape ensues, along with a new tiger hunt. End result the small son of the family convinces the hunter after a loving, close encounter with the tigers they respectively raised that they are not killers and they are left in the jungle to live out their lives. (The tigers not the child and hunter.)
Happy ending aside. What the Fuck?????????????????? I must vent now before I explode.
We take animals out of their natural habitat, as babies or not, and then we are surprised when they turn out to be wild animals. Oh, then they must die. We can't have wild animals in our oh so civilized society. WELL, FUCK THAT. WE TOOK THEM OUT OF THE WILD , WE HAVE EOT DEAL WITH IT NOW AND NOT BY F*&^%$# KILLING THEM. (Anybody watched the new lately? We are not that civilized...we kill for sport and call it war. We have children blowing away their entire homeroom class because they are tormented everyday and no one bothers to stop the bullies, the future rapists, the future serial killers.)
We owe it to these wild animals (whose lives we destroyed) to take care of them for the rest of their lives. It is up to us to ensure their safety from us and vise versa. Keep the kids away , keep your arms away..... Too simply say to a tiger who has escaped his suburban two story Victorian house that "Oh we're sorry you got out and killed a neighborhood dog, but that means you have to die now" is irresponsible at best (and in my book cold-blooded murder).
We should not be taking these animals out of the wild. I used to believe zoos and wild animal parks did the best they could and served an important role in preserving disappearing species. More and more I think that is a load of crap. We could save species without putting them on parade, without risking their lives and ours. Possible examples to look into....location camps? Site specific species programs? catch and release fertilization?
I honestly don't know if any of these would work, but AREN'T THEY AT LEAST WORTH A TRY!!!????
Sigh, I fear that they will never be tried, because they do not amuse the masses. The masses like headline news of murdering rampaging beasts (human or not).
How else do you explain caged hunts? For those not familiar, a caged hunt is where some one pays mega-bucks to shoot at an animal (usually a large cat, bear, or other large and very dangerous potential mankiller) which is in a small cage akin to a dog kennel. The person takes no personal risk and the animal has no chance to evade or defend. The worst kind of cowardice and cruelty.
Why? Why does man have to be so fu(*&^% stupid? So cruel? So self-centered? Why are people like this? Someone please give me an answer.
I want to protect them all (animals) from the stupid cruelty of the human race, and I'm failing miserably.

The only answer I have is that people are simply assholes. The other night there was a when animals gone bad show on TV about animals (some domestictaed and others wild) and I was dying laughing. Brian thought I was sick for it. Some vengenace is nice sometimes.
