Funniest skit-—EVER
Just because some idiot tosses an bird in the air and it flys is not the same as throwing one out of an AC at 80MPH plus...
Wowww
I agree. The two are similar but not the same. But to birds - even wild turkeys - 80 mph is not that fast.
The question is, can they hold their wings out to glide through a drop of 500 feet? Apparently not...
Is this the first year it has killed turkeys?
Turkey lives matter!
But seriously, I’m extremely pro life, but I don’t like cruelty to any of God’s creatures.
Good joke.
Been around since I started flying in the 70’s.
I met a guy at a seminar one time, who had an interesting job. It was to lob poultry carcasses of various sizes into jet engines to determine a balance between cost and effectiveness in preventing the kind of engine failure that happened with US Airways Flight 1549.
Maybe it was an Urban Legend, but he said his Canadian counterparts were having far different results. Turns out they were using FROZEN chickens and turkeys.
According to Cleve Baxter, inventor of the modern polygraph, he discovered plant life did respond to “pain.”
He was an interesting guy, we had a few conversations about such things before he passed. He was never a supporter that a poly should be used as THE tool to detect deception, but could be used to investigate possible mind-driven responses to external stimuli-like pain and other physiological inputs. Of course trees don’t have a mind but he did measure responses in plant life when subjected to abuse.
Just saying.
Well its cold in Canada!
He also tried to convince me that yogurt cultures as well as plants could detect the “stress” of a polygraph subject!
He was a very interesting guy - I remember reading about his plant stuff decades ago. You can still find interviews with him online.
Even my son the Marine aviator trainee knows you don;t cause pain and fear to animals (or people) except with humane safeguards and under strict rules of justice.
A person who will be cruel to an animal, I wouldn't trust with a child.
you maybe capable of swimming well and good for you.
If I toss you out of an Air Ballon 30 feet above the water going 40 Knts forward air speed ..How ya going tp do.
PS:
Gliders are not HOV Air Craft
I’ve heard that too. And I believe it. I also know that time lapse photography shows how plants do a lot of moving around due to their environment.
That being said, I divide creation into two groups:
1. Man
2. Natural resource (everything else).
I think plants respond to “pain” in the same way my computer responds to me hitting the T key. It is programmed to do a certain thing when a certain thing happens. The word “pain” implies feeling and human sentience, which nothing on the planet has, except for man. I don’t give it a second thought when I squish a bug or spider, or mow my lawn. Or kill a mouse. Or pretty much anything else regarding the “feeling” of things not human.
Heck, even in the bible, though it appears that there is concern when it talks about “do not muzzle the ox”. But look at what 1 Cor 9:9-10 says:
“For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned? Surely he says this for us, doesn’t he? Yes, this was written for us, because whoever plows and threshes should be able to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest.”
Animals are property and should be treated with the same respect with which you would treat your other property, like making sure your oil is changed in your car.
Oh yeah? Then take this: https://youtu.be/615hXjoGd8Y
