Yes no animal should have be/or been ripped apart as this will set off the endangered species going? All animals are part of the fabric of life and they always have been? With The Homo-Sapiens been the worst for eradicating species off this planet. It is still happening today IMHO:erm:

I have no qualms about killing an animal but only on the condition that it's a clean kill and it's something I'm gonna eat.. That's the difference between sport and food.. Killing for sport is the difference between homo-sapiens and the rest of the species on the planet :(

and killer whales

and dolphins

and chimpanzees

and many others - Time

The old "animals only kill for food" has been shown to be a myth....

But Lorenz was wrong; since 1963, when his book was published, naturalists have identified dozens of species that kill their own, including lions, hippos, bears, wolves, hyenas, herring gulls and more than 15 types of primates other than man.

I did say for sport.... Yes some animals may kill needlessly but humans are the only ones who not only organise it for entertainment but also have contests based on killing needlessly..

What about boxing or MMA? - lots of blood spilt in those activities.

But Boxing is a licensed sport with a doctor at every fight and rigorous rules each boxer has to pass before they are allowed to fight in the ring.

Strange then, that the Medical Associations of Great Britain, Canada, and Australia have called for a ban on boxing, and, according to the BMA, over 80% of professional boxers have serious brain scarring on MRI scans.

But the Medical associations would say that Hugh and lets remember there is a risk in most sports and even in our normal day life.

Thank you for that non-sequitur.....

Bloody doctors, who do they think they are, trying to stop people being killed and suffering long-term brain damage - what do they know? (oh yes, they are medical professionals, and do not have a vested interest).

There is a difference between the risk of being punched in everyday life, and the certainty in boxing......

There have been quite a few who have been punched in real life and ended up in hospital with brain damage or other problems.
