Yeah, that whole thread is pretty crude, but interesting images. The kind they hardly ever show you in National Geographics.
I hope ECMajor won't have a stroke because of that tho. :-P

He has a hyena character also :D
And yes, I'm about the opposite of politically correct, but Nature ain't politically correct.

Man, someone's a sick fuck making a thread to encourage that sort of thing, and so specifically for horses... I hope they don't fap to my vent art :-/

I ain't encouraging it. It could have been another prey. Just speaking about Nature, without anything related to any character.
Nature and animals in the wild =/= furry characters and were side. Also, human morality (e.g. no animal suffering) doesn't necessarily apply to other predators. That was my point.

Well, did you see the thread that was from? I guess you must have if you posted this ...the cruelty of nature is one thing, but the guy who posted the thread on lulz wants to see horses suffering because he enjoys the pictures. Most of them are not nature pictures :-/

Yes, I've seen it. Frankly, I didn't pay attention to those lamers: I even happen to troll them once in a while.
In this whole thread, only this image caught my attention. The rest of is is just awful. I think it's related to lulzers' average intelligence and morality.

and nope, I don't fap to your vent art. And it's very rare when I draw something with blood/gore, that ain't the thing I like to draw.

well, the hyenas are happy, and they outnumber the zebra. Democracy wins!

:D

Nom nom nom :3

So schauts aus wenn ich mich auf eine Pizza stuerze! :D

Sorry, I don't speak German :(

omg, sorry! @____@ i said: Thats the way it looks when i hunt down my favorite pizza!

Jane Goodall, in The Innocent Killers - ya didn't know she did stuff other than chimps, did you? She did - talks a little about how horrified she and others were initially at dog and hyena hunting strategies. She says that yeah, it looks pretty bad from the outside, but a lot of times the shock from blood loss numbs and then kills the animal pretty effectively, and wonders whether going out that way is actually easier than the way cats suffocate prey.

Add also the horrible pain, that must ease the death with the blood loss shock.

Well yeah, this photo's shocking because one sees the zebra's suffering, but my bet is it didn't take a long time before death.
I'm a naturalist, I work in Nature conservation, I'm way harder than animal rights militants.

Although, once, I found a salamander still alive, but with all the rear crushed by a car, and I killed the poor thing to shorten its sufferance, but I must admit it was hard to do. I didn't look while I did the only thing to do.

I really, really don't like killing. I think not having to actually do the deed in order to eat is kind of a nice luxury.

Yeah, I don't like to kill neither.

At least it is faster than starving to death, which is what would happen without predators.

This. Predators limit population of herbivores.
