Nonsense. Vegas is chock-full of healthy relationships involving man and beast.

It seems every year at least one person is killed/seriously injured by buffalo in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
These are wild animals and, despite their size, move very quickly. Warning signs are posted and ignored. Then nature takes its course.
I just nod to Darwin.
And I guess we learned that the 2nd Ammendment won't help you here.
Heh heh heh.
I also like the ultimate in "Kitty LIKES you!" with the tiger enclosure.
Wonder what the guy thought was gonna happen.
Did he think the critters would dance and sing 'Hakuna Matata'?
I have a niece who lives in Vegas and her only exposure to "wildlife" is the 200 Disney VHS tapes that my sister grew her up on. The damage done here to her view of reality is extensive.
Nonsense. Vegas is chock-full of healthy relationships involving man and beast.
"Ze tiger! Ze tiger es ANGRY!!!"
*chuckle*
Check and mate - I grew up there and forgot about those guys!
ROTFLMAO!!
An abused goat killed its owner . . . and then was saved by animal lovers who thought it acted rightly.

"Guys" may be a relative term...
Not with a lisp :)
LOL. The ability to chose doesn't automatically confer and bestow wisdom. There is a reason for the Darwin Award. Happy New Year Darksheare. 2006, here we come!
Fortunately for our young psyches when the bull charged the guy was able to jump through the window of his truck. The bison didn't slow down and rammed the side of his truck. That was back when trucks were still made of metal, but it left a huge dent.
I can't find my favorite conservationist thread of all-time. It involves two seals rescued from the Exxon Valdez oil spill by conservationists. The seals were rehabilitated over a period of severa months at considerable expense. When the time came for their re-release, the conservationists decided to make the occasion a political event. They staged a ceremony, complete with pomp and circumstance. The media, the high school band, and speeches from liberal politicians were all on the agenda. After the ceremony, the animals were released, where they were immediately and unceremoniously consumed by a pod of orcas within view of the dock.
What a sad story... sad in that these type of people often have the ability to be in charge over far more serious matters.
A couple of years ago I took the family on a trip to Yellowstone. What a glorious experience. On our first day as we drove through the park I saw a woman walking her toddler over to touch a full blown bull elk that was lying off of the side of the road. It had an enormous very sharp rack of antlers. Mom and babe were walking over for a photo shoot that dad was directing. I told my family that this was how we get rid of the "unlucky" people. What idiots. Luckily for them, a ranger arrived and chased them off before they were impaled.
Thanks, and welcome.
Happy New Year in return!
It probably isn't a thread. That was a story related by Rush on his show, and was one of the funniest bits he ever did.
