:weep:...I can understand keeping the public safe and all that....but to immediately give a shoot to kill order before even trying! to organise the recapture these beautiful, rare (and innocent!) animals?

Such a waste.....I bet there are some american Sherrifs etc sitting around gloating about how they got to gun down a tiger today.

And I thought we were fighting to SAVE these animals before they dissapear completely.

umm just think when else would they get the change to go a big game hunt like that :woohoo: :2guns:
They would be trying to save the poor endangered animals like we try to save the possums because they are endangered in Aussie. :shutup:

this reply is tough in cheek, just in case you wondered

Whilst I get where you're coming from the sherrif is there to protect the citizens (human I am picking).... It is absolutely disgusting that their (past) owner could even think of putting the animals lives at risk but I believe that the 'authorities' acted as responsibly as they could.

BTW - I LOVE animals, mostly more than humans but you have to weigh up the risks. Where would these animals be housed and how would they be cared for if they had been able to be captured without harm?? Remember that this was in the middle of the night too.

Completely right, the ''past'' owner knew the fate of those cats when he released them...

[SS90]

Sure, it's a basic human trait, his final act was one of control.

[willytheekid]

Yup, as I said...I do understand the need to protect innocent citizens and all that.
But to kill so many rare animals is just shocking!

Surely they could have made some hasty calls and got shit loads of traq guns etc brought in and made a good effort to save them...instead of allowing the arsehole dead owner to seal their fate....after all, its not the animals fault that they had a shitty life and got released.

...but hay...im just a massive animal lover that saw this and felt sorry for them.

[blue rider]

FEAR.....gives US americans the right to shoot at absolutely everything......no brains but guns

no difference if they shoot animals, other humans, or just at stuff

it is their GAWD given right to own arms and use them

as for the animals, they bring no profit, only incur costs? too much hassle...and work
you still need to ask?????

If you read it properly you will see that they tried to tranquilize them, and the shoot to kill order is only if they cross the interstate and most where kept on the farm.

I think the ones that need a good slapping are the ones that let people keep exotic pets, these are wild animals and so should be in the wild not in some cage, no matter how big it is. (the cage not the animal)

what you said, and i always opt of putting the owners of said "pets" in a cage and paraded around on a leash. against a fee for viewing of course.....and if they don't behave.....oh well, bang bang :2guns:

according to the news piece he had been charged with 11 counts of animal cruelty and still allowed to keep them. WTF is up with that? That country sure is full with some dumb people.

Seconded - I actually shed a tear when I saw the lion enclosure in Rotorua. I wouldn't have put tabby in a cage that small.
Likewise I refuse to see water parks where dolphins are in tanks. Having swum with them in the ocean....no tank is big enough for their in inquisitive minds.
Animals are not for you viewing pleasure.
I'm not really an animal lover either. Just someone who respects things when they should.

[nodrog]

Fuckin Bang!

[imdying]

lol @ your moral outrage. White people problems :facepalm:

[imdying]

Animals are not for you viewing pleasure.Correct, they're for eating. Even dolphins and whales if needs must, or they're farmed sustainably.

[bogan]

Sounds like it might have been a case of mercy killings. No sense forcing animals to live in suffering, no matter how endangered they are.

+1 The crime here wasn't the shooting it was letting this weirdo keep them in squalor in the first place.

You can be certain that those raging about the actions of the authorities, would be shrieking even louder if just one child had been attacked and killed. The police would be to blame regardless of outcome.

Put the blame where it belongs - on the nutter who created the problem - not the people who had to clean up his mayhem.

[sinfull]

Completely right, the ''past'' owner knew the fate of those cats when he released them... Think he knew his fate well before he realised he didn't OWN them !!! Cage me, i'll eat you. After i've made you watch me rape and murder your family !

[Woodman]

We should take their lead and accidentally leave a few prisons open, and have a shoot to kill order.

Anyway

It always bugs me that we as humans think we have some sort of superiority over animals. Its almost as we have made ourselves custodians of everything on the planet because we think we are superior. Just imagine if we had a performance appraisal.:facepalm: would get sacked on the spot.

[imdying]

It always bugs me that we as humans think we have some sort of superiority over animals.I'm bugged by idiots that ignore the obvious. We don't have "some sort" of superiority over them, we have total superiority over them. You having a little blub because people hardly ever wield that superiority in ways you see fit is just stupid :violin: Animals are for labour, eating, and entertainment, that's it.

[onearmedbandit]

Maybe they thought the animals were hiding weapons of mass destruction. Or oil.

Would that be an energy saving bulb?

I actually think it should go one step further and add people to the list.
We don't even need to farm the fuckers - they breed more than anything else on the planet.

Start selling people-movers instead??

That's what the dumb ones seem to like.

You could be onto a winner here - only if they kept the payments up...:shifty:

All the starving people could eat the criminals in the jails, then the homeless people can move into the jails. Problems solved.
