Do you enjoy watching predators hunt and kill on Nat Geo, Animal Planet, or Discovery Channel, etc? (page 3)

OUTLAW

So you enjoy watching the Kill?..

Ever been there in real life?..

No TV screen between you and the Victim..

Just Raw Death and Horror..

Your attitude would change from Joy,to Respect..

For your Place in the Food Chain..

Real Life in the Wilderness,would Change alot of Attitudes..

Especially when you watch a Creature Scream,while it`s Being Eaten..

........................OUTLAW

I find it hard to watch, especially if the animal is named after a General Motors product. A coyote catching a weasel for supper is tolerable.

I once came upon a collision between a Mustang and a Thunderbird, horeshit and feathers all over the road.

Now, on a serious note. I love watching many programs on the Animal Planet channel. However, they have a series called "Animal Cops...Houston or Miami or Detroit...etc" I cannot watch these programs that show neglected and abused cats, dogs, horses, and so forth. It literally chokes me up to see these innocent creatures suffering.

Black Sheep

I'll watch a spider hunting a fly, amazed at how it can 'leap' on its prey on my ceiling.

Watching the skill and power of large critters catching their lunch is fascinating.

It can have it's funny moments too. Well ...... funny to me

I dont like to watch things getting killed.

There are two sides of a coin you can believe there is no God because of the food chain and killing.

Or you can accept that the wages of sin are death, the whole earth is moaning and growning because of it.

If Adam hadnt sinned we would have sinnned.

But dont touch that dial.

Adam and Eve is a story to illustrate that we have been seperated from God.

Why are we seperated from God?

Because God gave us free will.

If he didnt give us free will we would be robots.

And you couldnt even bitch about that.

But the free will allows us to journey back to God, home or journey into eternal darkness.

THe thing of it is, is we are God. We are little pieces of God, probes, spirits in a material world

and some of us choose to journey home and some of us

choose to journey into eternal darkness.

THats how God can be love because you and I are god and we have free will.

Thats what I get out of the bible and life and reason.

If you choose to journey back to God, you will have to become a robot.

You will have to be like Adam and Eve.

When you get tired of living in the Garden with no free will, when you get tired of living with limited knowledge

you will get back on the ride, reincarnation, and come back to earth again or some place like earth.

Either you will choose to find your way back home or go into eternal darkness, be lost.

God can also be love because this life is an illusion.

Everything is just particles vibrating at different frequencies.

Its just a bunch of dots vibrating.

Were just entertaining ourselves here.

Most of the time we walk around as zombies with a few moments of lucidity.

Love is extreme affection or attraction.

And we, God, have been attracting our selves home our entire life.

But some of us havent reasoned that out yet or dont want to see the forest for the trees.

Or we want to look under every rock for a different posibility.

Or we want to venture into the night.

I watch those types of programs regularly, as I find them quite educational. The killings I'm not too keen about, but I accept that as being part of life and death in the animal kingdom.

The most difficult for me to watch was the male lion killing the cubs that weren't his .... never watched that episode again.

I don't have much to contribute to this thread, plus this thread probably should die as I consider the title and theme in hindsight. I just wanted to say that I've never been fond of seeing the male lions killing unrelated cubs either. By the way, your screen name is slick.

Maybe not enjoyment, but the fascination with what is real and spontaneous is understandable in spite of the violent nature. I just read the following this morning and it kind of puts it in perspective, also we might contrast this with the so called reality shows and other contrived events:

"The world of crime, even more than that of sports, is a last refuge of the authentic, uncorrupted spontaneous event. Of course there are rare exceptions (the planned "violators" of law for political purposes, like the suffragettes, or more recently the Freedom Riders in the South). But, generally speaking, crimes are not pseudo-events, however industriously they may be exploited by the press. Only seldom are they committed for the purpose of being reported. Quite the contrary, a man who commits a murder or a rape, who robs a bank, or embezzles from his employer, hopes to get away with it. Our hunger for crime news and sports news, then, far from showing we have lost our sense of reality, actually suggests that even in a world so flooded by pseudo-events and images of all kinds, we still know (and are intrigued by) a spontaneous event when we see one. The same quest for sponteneity helps explain, too, our morbid interest in private lives, in personal gossip, and in the sexual indiscretions of public figures. In a world where the public acts of politicians and celebrities become more and more contrived, we look ever more eagerly for happenings not brought into being especially for our benefit. We search for those areas of life which may have remained immune to the cancer of pseudo-eventfulness."-The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-Events in America by Daniel Boorstin
