I see an extremism in this animal rights movement that has gotten out of control...Skip - Open Water/Scuba mfg-retailFebruary 16, 2006 at 23:03:27I would like to commend you Wade for at least being civil and engaging in mature dialogue without the scathing name-calling individuals out there. I respectfully disagree in one regard. Yes we are in their ocean. However if we build a house near a marsh land or river and we are infested with mosquitos and the city sprays mosquitos are we going
to say --" Leave the mosquitos alone since we are in their ebvironment". This specific rogue shark had remained along the beach cruising the area for at least 2 weeks, and the citizens themselves pressured the local legislature in South Australia to take such measure. I guess ALL these massive people are stupid, ignorant, etc ? Secondly Joe B, its amazing that you can't engage in dialogue without your profane name-calling. I wonder if you're
the leader of the local PETA group. I have seen posts where people actually made fun of shark attack victims and then viciously attack anyone who makes any criticism of the man-eaters themselves who have just killed humans. I would NEVER touch a shark that didn't attack me or has harmed anyone else, but if a shark attacks me or my dive buddy, that shark is DEAD via bangstick. Now what part of that don't you understand with your profane STUPIDITY since you like to call names? In South Australia, the animal rights radicals made the local officials take down the shark net on the beach and the shark attacks continued after having ZERO attacks with the nets up. The animal rights activists were ONLY concerned with sharks being trapped in the nets
and NOT the DEAD humans being killed. I would risk my life to save a human from a deadly attack just as I saved my buddy in Viet Nam. But I see an extremism in this animal rights movement that has gotten out of control and anyone pointing this out (like myself) is attacked to try to publicly humiliate in order to silence the messenger. I thought it was suppose to be a "DISCUSSION". But unfortunatly if any person disagress with an extremist animal rights radical, he/she is the target of virulent attacks and denigration. It never changes.
Thanks again Wade for at least being civil , mature and intelligent. |
