The subject of my Newspaper Challenge entry
was found shot to death yesterday.
I wanted to title this thread "Why I Hate People", but since I don't, I couldn't...
Edited to remove invalid link to newspaper article.

| I hope they find whoever did that. How sad. Maybe if they catch them, they should be put in a cage with a hungry tiger to see who survives. They could even give them(the humans) a sling shot for protection. |

How many Sea Lions get shot at point blank range in the middle of a city?

Who said there isn't any outrage over that fact? This thread is about a sea lion, so it is not exactly unexpected to have people show a little sympathy toward this animal's demise. Mine included - he/she looked like a magnificent animal.

i cant watch when an animal is harmed in movies, but yet..my eyes are glued to the screen when people are shooting each other. guess that means i just care more about the well being of animals more than humans.

I've railed against many of the horrors perpetrated against humans on a number of forums on this web site but can't remember a peep out of you regarding your outrage. Why can't people outrage the abuses against against animals, as well as, humans?
While this is a horrorible incident, and I know of others committed like it, people should also be railing against other animal abuses, such as in slaughterhouses or laboratories. They are inhumane. |

Steve,
I love shooting animals like 'Shopper' with my camera.
Sometimes I get lucky & can tell a 'thousand word' story with just a picture.
I was pleased with the positive feedback that the Press and community contributed
when you first told me about him. Of the pictures I saw, I like the picture you took of him the best.
He looked proud in it. |

Yup, I'm the same way.
I almost walked out of The Butterfly Effect earlier this year because of that.
Terrible story. Really horrible, I hope they find the people responsible.

Reminds me of the story of "Sampson", a magnificent bull elk that roamed freely around Estes Park, CO . He was a common site on golf courses, in town, etc. People used to make the trip just to catch a glimpse of him...several years ago somebody shot him with a crossbow and left.

Stupid people outnumber smart people.
It̢۪s sad but true. Take a group of ten random people from any mainstream department store and how many of those 10 people do you think are truly intelligent.
It̢۪s a numbers game really. Intelligent people usually have a few kids (not that having more makes you stupid) and that's it. Then try hard to raise them well.
Yet stupid people, well they have 5, 6 or more and then don't care about how they raise them, in case you haven̢۪t seen this take a ride to your nearest Wal-Mart or equivalent store and look around.
So if you think about it intelligent people are a doomed race. ;-)

By definition, most people are of average intelligence.

| There is a difference between a person that is below averege intelligence, and a sick cruel bastard that would shoot an animal just for the fun of it. |
