Hierophant: It's cool. I was figuring somebody was playing on the low. No harm in debates like this. I was just finding it outrageous. But that's cool.


Felix: Sorry for the error on my part. With so many posts, I had forgotten who had said what about what. I have always wondered why they don't just catch wild animals that attack people and put them in a zoo somewhere, but I guess the family would expect some type of payoff for the attack. Like that big cat that attacked that woman a few months ago, and she lived, but her face is scarred forever. They shot it too. They assumed it would not be safe to leave alone in the wild, and I suppose everyone expected sometihng done about it...but I have just wondered why death is the immediate response. I guess there is a problem keeping a mankiller in a zoo for kids to gawk at. I don't really have a good answer as to why it is done.
