Y'all don't really think your ribeye steaks grow on the meat tree, do you?

Well I didn't see the video....but I would guess that like a snake they probably won't eat it unless it's alive. If the people are doing it purely for entertainment ..well...karmas a bitch.... |

They grow on BUSHES not TREES silly!!! Chicken Breasts grow on trees!... I read it on the internet so it MUST be true! |

My snake would not eat dead rodents. She'd go for unconscious ones, but not dead ones. I had to knock 'em out before I fed her or else the nasty little gerbils would bite the snot out of my snake. One gerbil bit the snake around 10 times deeply enough to draw blood. Rodents suck. |

When I worked in Mental-Health (I was in the security division of the largest state facility west of the mississippi [FTC in Salem OR. 1,500 "Consumers"]) we had a guy that enjoyed nothing better than to drown puppies.
He had been discharged in the mid' '80's and was re-institutionalized when the QMRP's and support staff assigned to him became aware of his behavior. He would half drown the puppy and then let it "Recover" for a moment before submerging it again (You gotta drag out the "Fun" after all). This particular individual had an adaptive age level of somewhere around 8yrs old but that was complicated by the fact that he was also diagnosed with mental illness. Puppies die every day. I guess HE was just helping the "Natural" process along OR....he was the sick, dangerous mo'fo' we thought he was. The person that made that vid' is just another of the great undiagnosed masses. F**Kin' creepy |

I think you folks are missing the larger picture here.
We have several low post count posters who are arguing this issue for no apparent reason at all. I smell . |

I cant see the video, but this guy is obviously a copycat.
I did this back in 97' when I used to own Piranhas. I didn't use a rat or mouse though, I used the small hairless ones. My Piranhas where bred & raised by me from hatchlings. So they where not prone to shyness most wild caught piranhas are. The rodents death was always very quick. Most times they would just snap the head off and the other would gulp the body in seconds. I fed them live waterdogs also, large goldfish, etc. I was just a dumbass kid with a Piranha website trying to be cool. All I can say is that the animals didn't go to waste or die for nothing. After looking at my site.. for what... 7 years now. I feel like a total ass for the waterdog. I have a few very short clips on my site, I had a P133 at the time to make clips...not all are of feeding, and I deleted the mouse one a long time ago. www.geocities.com/xingu.geo/DEATHCAM.html |

Mice are a fuckin plague. They should be drawn and quartered before being fed to the piranha or anything else that will remove them from circulation. They have taken over my shop, shed, truck and we just caught one in the house. Everytime I set a trap I catch one but they just keep coming. There is a free 55 gallon aquarium on the net, maybe I need some glue traps or some other "humane" catch alive traps and some fishes. It might make me feel better about the discusting mess that they have made. Do piranhas eat trolls or do they despise liberals too?

The sickness of this video is in the mind of the beholder. The piranha could give a rat's ass if you're watching, they're doing what they are made to do. There is nothing sick about an animal getting it's dinner as it was meant to. It's actually impressive how effective the piranha is at it's job.
However, if the person watching the video is getting a chubby, now that's sick. Hate to tell ya this, but we're all part of the food chain, and I promise you that if you died in a field somewhere there'd be a cat, dog, mouse, whatever carnivour/omnivour that wouldn't think twice about taking a nibble off your dead backside. I had a pet python and would feed it live mice. That's what they eat. That is all. And for the butcher - IMHO, if you don't have the gut to clean your own kill, you don't deserve to eat. Just my opinion. |

+1 Well said. Saved me some typing. |

Which is more sad - the guys that post a lot to get a high post count, or those people who keep track of it in the first place. |

I just think that people are afraid of pirhanas and thus feel some sort of 'bond' with the mouse. I don't get it.
Who was the loser that said that mice don't swim? "It isn't natural"? Mice/rats/toads whatever, go for a swim all the time. Who cares about the frickin welfare of a feeder mouse? My dog kills moles, and squirrels, and my cat kills mice and chipmunks. I have fish that eat equally proportional live foods. I'm sure that if I had a snake or a pirhana, I would feed it mice. |

Can you email me a few videos so I can host them please? Your page is going over its limit (and I think it will keep doing that until this thread dies). Specifically, waterdog, goldfish, whatever else might be of interest. Andreuha[NOSPAM]@Optonline.net just remove the [nospam]... |

No but I don't torture a cow before he becomes a steak though. |
|
|
I think what is bothering some people is the enjoyment that some POS is deriving from an animal being slowly killed. |
|
|
I gotta say it's pretty funny watching some here whine about a mouse.
You can buy feeder mice all day long at pet stores. And guess what? They are for feeding other animals. I wonder if the ones whining could actually kill to eat and survive on their own if need be? |
|
Oh that would be me... I would be that loser
Now that I admitted I was the loser... admit you Michael Moore for taking my quote out of context. Its the DELIVERY method... I will say it again... THE DELIVERY METHOD! Let me put you in a tank with no way out in a tank of sharks and let everyone watch and "Ooooh" and "Ahhhh" as your legs are getting torn off. I have NO PROBLEM with what happens naturally in the wild or animals that need to eat. Snakes need to eat as wellas Piranahs. But to sit there and gawk and get a chubby over this video is simply sick. |

I see nothing wrong with it the PETA crowd will always get their panties in a bunch, it is somthing that happens every day in nature, and is part of the natural cycle, and it is interesting to watch. Some people like to make something out of nothing.

What is he supposed to do? Darken the room, say a prayer, shake a dead cat at the moon, and turn his back after the feeding? People primairly own pirhanas because of the fascinating way they eat. Get over it. |

|
Taking pleasure in the slow death of the animal is what bothers people, learn to read would ya. |

Thanks for speaking up!
Admit me Michael Moore? What does that mean. I specifically addressed your assertion that a mouse swimming in a tank isn't natural. And since ponds and rivers don't have transparent sides, we shouldn't keep fish in a glass cube? Or since they are there now, they shouldn't eat? Mice and rats go for a swim or fall in the water all the time in the wild. I have seen catfish eat mice that find themselves swimming across a section of farm pond. Also, you might aspire to be the Boner Inspector General. You would love it. You get to go to see all the aquariums, zoos, and visit any house that is showing a PBS or NG special and squeeze the junk of any male present. If you do find wood, you get to berate that person about how 'sick' he is. I hear the pay is good too. |
||||
|
So tell me again, how is he supposed to feed them? Is he allowed to never show his pets off to anyone else? Will the Boner Inspector General come knocking at his door? |

|
pwn3d! |
|

Sure, there are some sick f*cks in our society who kill for pleasure. Getting upset over a mouse being dropped in a Pirahna tank is pretty silly, though.
Must've been the rap music that got people all tied up in a bunch. |
|
It is either that, or people are just scared of carniverous fish. [shrug] |

Ever eat veal? Chris |

Okay, here's the clips I got from Jeeper21.
They're both in a 1MB .zip file. Kinda short vids though. www.x-plane.org/users/eder/Feeding.zip |

Actually. No. |

Ahhhh first one to reverts to name calling loses the battle. Just like a liberal. Game over. you lose. What next? Whip em out and compare dick sizes? |
|

just wondered. thanks for answering my question.

Uh, hello? I merely suggested that as a possible career choice, since you seem to be so facinated over the Pink Submarine (just like a liberal). It really was a nice try, Fridge, it really was. Take care. |

What's sad, is I actually belive you... So what was your previous name on this board? |

1: What's a waterdog?
Those piranha sure hollowed out that mouse in a hurry once they got going, didn't they? Fish gotta eat. It's no more sick or gross than someone feeding puppies, kittens, or rabbits to a good sized pet python or boa. In fact, to me, at least, it IS pretty sick for people to feed kittens or puppies to snakes. That's just too close to home. No human abused that mouse. Nobody and nothing tortured that mouse for the sake of torturing it. The fish just did what they do in order to continue breathing and the mouse happened to be today's dinner. There's a lot of really good stuff on that site, by the way. And it also has some of the all-time most awful things I've ever seen, too. Don't look at that Russian bar fight video if you're squeamish. I'm NOT kidding. It's way up there on the horror factor. CJ |

Watching that video reminded me of a pet mouse I had over 10 years ago...
One day I brought home three white mice for my pet snake to eat. The snake was old and tired. He managed to kill two of the three mice before he too died... That left me with one "survivor" in the tank... I figured if he managed to survive that ordeal, he deserved to live... I cleaned out the tank, and made it his new home... He went with me when I moved from PA to AZ and back... Sat his tank right on the front seat of the truck for the whole trip... Every now and then I'd let him out of the tank to climb in the plants on the coffee table (he really enjoyed that)... That little white feeder mouse lived over three years, and lived entirely off of table scraps. Never once gave him "mouse-food"... Probably one of the best pets I've had, and never bit me once... With all that said, I'm still not disturbed by the video... It's all part of life and death...Shit happens...Get over it... |

Its like that James Bond movie. I think it was Diamonds are Forever. The bad guy had a tank of fish he would feed agents to.
|

I had a brother that got a rat drunk for a science fair. He was timed through the maze both sober and sloppy drunk. Needless to say, the results were conclusive.
...we proposed a ban on drunk rats running mazes... |
