Do you agree with this? Personally i don't, the duck obviously took a long time to actually die and it just seems very inhumane and shows no respect, obviously this happens in the wild, but it doesn't have to happen in a contolled environment like that, what are yours views ?

Aye why cant they put a dead one in the top of the tank and move it about with there hands like folk who feed snakes do ??

 

Why video it and vput it up on a public site?

Aye, it's one thing to feed like that, but another to video it & put it on the net. :yes:

I don't agree with that at all . . . . . . . However when i was working with big cats in Africa, we did have to on occasions feed the lions a live mammal to teach them to hunt before being released into the wild. I never enjoyed it as such, but somehow could justify it by knowing that without learning these skills, the lions would never have been released to freedom. Maybe that makes me a hypocrite? :hmm:

 

The captive big cats i worked with, which would never be released, were NEVER fed live food as there was no need to enhance their hunt/kill drive.

Sounds like a dream job! But if it was teaching the big cats the essentials to survive in the wild its perfectly acceptable, i just doubt that fish will ever be released into the wild, and its not realy a skill thats needs teaching, dragging things down from the surface to eat

Best time of my life!

 

Thats my outlook on it too, as i said although i never got pleasure from watching the animal die, i did get pleasure from watching an animal i'd reared and rehabilitated, turn from a "pet lion" to a wild lion. A very proud day that was, and immensley sad because i knew i'd have to say goodbye. :cry:
