I understand the food chain. But you would think an animal were bad if it ate a human, if a lions mauls a human to death it's put down because, it's "bad" or "violent".

If it is put down (And it all depends on where this happens, too. I don't think there are many Ahabs willing to run through the plains of Africa to take vengeance on one lion, to use your example), it's only done to ensure the safety and well being of other human beings who are threatened by the presence of this animal. That seems pretty logical to me.

I just said that Gahars. It depends also if it's a native and a tourist.

a dolphin is not a fishie, it is a mammal so it's totally ok to murder, just kidding don't murder dolphins you idiot.

The only fish I wouldn't kill is a dolphin, they are intelligent. I would never kill anything intelligent, meaning apparently I can kill @tagzard

Dolphins aren't fish, they're mammals like humans.

On topic tho, I do believe there's a lot of mystery in the ocean, just like the space is a vast unknown, there is still plenty we don't know about the seas and it's creatures, there are some really deep parts of the sea, and most submarines (dunno if there even exists one), can't really reach the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean, in those parts it's much colder and darker than normal (it could be warm tho, but that'd be if there were any underwater volcanos near eruption.
Seeing as it's so dark and cold at the bottom, we have to wonder what kinda of creatures live there, they'll most likely be mutated forms of fish we already know or something like it.

The Trieste made it there, barely.
It's certainly not somewhere we visit on a regular basis.

zerosuit connor would you kill a pig? They're very intelligent! Yuyuyup are you referring to me? i never said to kill dolphins. Although I'm not very fond of them.

Both posts were made at the exact same time. I was responding to your earlier post; I can't predict what you're going to say ahead of time.

Also... Wait, wait, wait. This hypothetical lion kills a human being, and all you have to say is "Poor lion"? Talk about a textbook case of misplaced priorities.

[smile72]

Not really, I like animals more than most humans. My priorities are my priorities.

The fact that they're your priorities doesn't make them any less poor or misplaced.

In fact, we know more of the space than the oceans.

I would kill a pig because I eat pork. I would kill fowl because I eat poultry. I would kill fish because I eat that, cows because I eat beef, etc.

On topic - that thing is massive. Kinda scary looking too. It looks like the type of thing that would eat your hand off... I wouldn't eat that for fear of it coming back to life and eating its way through my stomach/ass.

Given enough time it probably could. But I assume that would take a good long while.

[smile72]

In your opinion they are misplaced. I find my priorities quite normal and rather reasonable.

Placing the lives of human beings below those of animals is by no means reasonable.

Unlike, say, views on entertainment, politics, or spirituality, that's not up for discussion. If you see animal life as more important than the lives of your fellow human beings, there is a serious problem.
