Speed Demon Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 just a thought, now i have been watching lassie and black beauty today and have a few lumps in my throat now, i have and always will believe that riding horses or using animals for profit gains is cruelty, as well as animal fighting and things of that nature so in effect, other than needing animals and fish for meet to eat, we do not really need them to survive, so we should as a dignified and respectful race just release everything that is not human into the wild where they belong that means all pets and farm yard creature including zoo and nature reserve creatures they all should flee to where they belong, back to nature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Squirrel Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Excellent idea. The freed Tigers should keep the Chav population to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megalithic Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Not one of your better posts Jason. I personally don't mind squashing a few cats with no road sense but i doubt my little van could cope with a 16 hand stallion on a blind bend, and who'd pay for the repair. ?

HeadingNorth Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Pets and farmyard creatures, almost without exception, would die in the wild. Is that what you want, or have you not thought this through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Demon Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 creatures of all kind would in the short term suffer yes, but that is because of centuries of human meddling and mollycoddling but it would not take long for all species to acclimatise and adapt to their surrounding environments, after all it is what nature does best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristow Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 No. You would constantly be having to fork out repairs for your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunzi Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 but it would not take long for all species to acclimatise and adapt to their surrounding environments, after all it is what nature does best What are you basing that on? Animals released from zoos and nature reserves back to their natural environment wouldn't adapt to their surroundings, they'd die. Even with training animals that are captive bred are mainly only capable of living on a managed large reserves. You can't just release an animal and expect it to know what to do and how to survive. Animals in zoos and nature reserves are also part of dedicated breeding programmes designed to ensure the survival of the species should they become extinct in the wild. Releasing them would be fairly short sited in that regard. The fact that all these animals have been managed by people takes out the naturalness you're trying to restore. If this is a serious viewpoint you'd be better off putting every animal to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altus Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 No. You would constantly be having to fork out repairs for your car. That assumes you'd be too dumb to start driving a bit slower and keeping your eyes peeled after the first few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
