Leopards kill for sport.

[Vision]

Actually, house cats kill for sport.

That just doesn’t seem right. I can’t see the wolverine with a whole bunch of woundings but no kill, and it doesn’t eat more than one or two sheep at a time, and I don’t think they just run around killing for sport.

I agree. Unless it has rabies.

“-—Like if someone says, “I think it’s going to rain tomorrow,” I might respond with, “Oh, why is that?”-—”

And you wonder why you don’t get invited to social gatherings?

“Regards,”

I don’t consider it killing for sport if they originally started the hunt for food purposes and then just killed extra. (eyes bigger than their stomach thing)

[Sirius Lee]

Okay, now do a honey badger.

According to the National Wildlife Federation, wolverines are the largest land-living species in the weasel family, or mustelids. The group says about 60% of the wolverines' habitat in the lower 48 states will be eradicated in the next seven decades because of climate change.

It must be a part of CBS’s style guide to work in Climate Change in to every article about wild life.

What a bunch of BS. They have no idea what “Climate Change” will do to the habitats of any wild animal.

They keep on saying that the polar bear will become extinct do to climate change and yet every year their are more polar bears.

Lot’s predators kill for sport.

Well, my wife’s fat cat regularly tortures squirrels, birds, and even a tortoise one time. Takes a half day to finish off whatever it chose to “play” with that day.

He’s a killer and just enjoys the “sport” of it.

Lot’s predators kill for sport.

Back in 2009, three wolves killed 120 sheep in a single incident in Montana.......

It's not sport. It's survival.

Cats are neither mean nor cruel

BTW, it's nice to know DW can get something right.

Actually a number of animals have a strong kill instinct and will kill a lot of prey st once. Raccoons dogs come to mind but there are more

[DCBryan1]

Cant believe I beat the "gators":

[Jewbacca]

Yeah, but fatty never eats anything that is not a fish.

Particularly fond of low sodium lox and low salt sardines.

He just kills whatever and then shows us.

[EEGator]

Every dog has its day...

Was going to say something similar for the Tom Brady haters here...
 
Michigan football being the winningest program of all time into three centuries now, Brady chose Big Blue to go to college!

“...USDA-Wildlife Services was flying over Rich County, Utah when they noticed an animal feeding on a dead sheep. The dead sheep was one of 18 sheep the wolverine had killed or wounded in the area that morning.....”

And they “wonder” WHY there are no wolverines in Utah?

Maybe they should ask “sheep farmers”.

“I don’t think they just run around killing for sport”

Well obviously you can now believe that they do. 😉

[BiglyCommentary]

But killing a lot of prey is to me no different than going to a all you can eat buffet and loading up the 3rd plate and leaving half of it. I went there to eat, not for the sport of it, regardless that I left uneaten food, taking more than I felt like actually eating.
