TotalTalker Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hey guys, I dont know whether you've seen the article or whether you buy the paper, but theres an article in there about something in china where you pay $100 for them to put a cow in a pen, and they set about four lions on the cow. You then watch as the lions hunt down the cow and kill it. You then get to keep the cow, and cook it however you want i think. I personally think that this is cruel. I think it says in the article that they have got some sort of animal rights, somehow. What are your views on this? How would they like it if we paid $100 for lions to be set o them, and watch as they get their guts ripped out? No spamming please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose585 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 How would they like it if we paid $100 for lions to be set o them, and watch as they get their guts ripped out? To be honest with you, I never like to hear this statement, for reasons that might just be my own, I feel this wasn't a necessary addition to your post. On topic: It seems like another way to get money out of people, with money being the only concern. If some people will pay to see that sort of thing, then as myself I can do nothing against it. Although i do find it cruel and unnatural(as cows would never combat lions), somethings we just have to live with. hows the weather up there. where the rich people live. currently, in the poor area its -1.

1_man_army Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 You then watch as the lions hunt down the cow and kill it. You then get to keep the cow, and cook it however you want i think. Once the lions get to the cow I don't think there is going to much left for you to cook/eat. If this is true then it's cruel on the lions as well. They don't kill for the hell of it, they do it for food. To put prey in with them and then stop them eating it is a form of mental torture.

nyyankees588 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Its pretty dumb.. I was just watching something on the discovery channel about chicks (baby chikens) and how they are sent of to farms in mass. They go through an assembly line just like everyday items that has conveyor belts which sort them (all the time while they are alive) and they are then dropped into boxes that contain 180 of them almost on top of eachother. Sorry I got off topic... but it kinda relates to animal rights. Getting another sig[removed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Cruel? That's nature. If they ever crossed path in the wild, this is what would happen, just like if four lions crossed the path of a human. People's capacity for empathy of the well being of other species never ceases to amaze me (I'm not saying it's a bad thing, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People's capacity for empathy of the well being of other species never ceases to amaze me (I'm not saying it's a bad thing, though). I wouldn't be bothered if it was in a natural enviroment. In nature the cow would have the possibility (however slim) to escape and survive, this isn't possible in this case which makes it redundant as a hunt. Also in nature the lions would be able to eat the cow which in this case they are seemingly unable to do. Hence it is not a natural situation of even a sufficient imitation of one.

Somnambulism Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Cruel? That's nature. I'm not taking either side in this topic, but that isn't nature. Nature would be the lions coming across the cow in the wild, or the humans using a bolt gun as the most efficient way to kill the cow. This is humans taking a tame beast and just using the lions as a killing device, because it's more entertaining to watch. It's not me showing empathy for the cow, I'm just disagreeing with what you say about it being nature.

Hence why I added 'if they ever crossed paths in the wild' referring to a hypothetical natural savage brutal killing with no regard for the feelings of the cow as opposed to a controlled one. The only difference if it happened in the wild would be that the carcass would be eaten and not taken away from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 They were tigers... The point of the Chinese was that the animals were meant to go back to the wild, therefor its the closest thing they can do to the real thing. These were no animals bred in captivity who are used to having their chunks of meat laid out in the same places every day. I don't agree with the money aspect of this, however, if this is a good way of getting the animals ready for re-habitation then I'm all for it. I just think that you can use the same way of paying for fish to give to a dolphin at Sea-world as you can feeding a Tiger a live cow.

Somnambulism Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Mercifull makes a good point. I just assumed it was a situation set up purely so people could take pleasure in watching a cow get killed.

Its the topic author that left out this piece of information. All of a sudden it seems less brutal. Shows how money for violence makes people feel compared to money for a rehabituation excercise. To defend the Chinese, and this is just speculation, perhaps the money is a way of buying more cows to help the process along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biabf Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Who'd pay $100 for used steak? :? My thoughts exactly.I think the $100 is mainly to watch it the saliva unused steak is just a freebie that comes with it.. Like "Watch an animal be savaged by lions and we'll give you a free used steak! ONLY $100!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercifull Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 As far as I remember the article said nothing about you being able to keep the carcass for yourself, I will check later as I belive i still have the article at home. As far as the Chinese argument behind it, is that they don't see paying $100 for a cow any different than people pay $10 for fish to feed Shamu.

baron8000 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The daily mirror? seriously? read a broadsheet you will learn much more. OT - its not cruel, the animal has to eat and its not exactly going to be vegetarian if they didn't do this. Seems to me the Chinese found a way to make money out of feeding the animal - something they'd have to do anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
