Not even many Texans act like that. I don't think I've ever seen a stereotypical Texan. It's unfair to stereotype.Blatherscythe said:
After finding out that this was America's doing, I am most displeased. Abusing animals is wrong no matter what the creature, I sure as shit wouldn't be surprised to see an Australian go toe-to-toe with a Bald Eagle to see our reaction. Just Ridiculous. It was Texass though... So that's not surprising either.
I said CERTAIN Americans livng in Texas are a bunch of cruel, gun-totting idiots. Not the majority.crimson5pheonix said:
Not even the minority. Keep in mind that this is all done by Kraft foods...Blatherscythe said:
I think you missed the point. Looney Toons cartoons, especially the older ones, played heavily on stereotypes.interspark said:
Exactly my thought. It's disgusting to do this (or anything even remotely like it) to any animal.The Maddest March Hare said:
If I were anyone else, I'd make a comment about loosing faith in humanity (or making a joke about never having any in the first place)
But that would imply what these people did was 'human'
That was monstrous
I really, really hope they get horribly mutilated in some heavy industrial accident, and bleed out slowly.
Funny how I don't support the death penalty unless an animal is involved

It's one thing to interact with animals, having them jump through hoops, sit, roll over, backflip, whatever. The animal in question recognises the ringmaster's command, and obeys him or her out of its own free will.
But to have an animal (any animal, not just Kangaroos) forced into obedience via restraints is cruel beyond belief. I always feel that way when I see guide dogs; however useful they are, training an animal as lively as a dog to do nothing but assist the blind for their entire lifespan is just deprivation of freedom. In my mind, the restriction of freedom is the defining line between companionship and slavery. This goes for humans too.
As an Aussie, I do feel a soft spot for roos (got a couple of friendly ones that hang around my back yard at dusk), but I also respect them. I never intrude upon the pack, no matter how tempting it is sometimes. To be honest, I'm surprised that most foreigners don't know how bloody deadly an angry male roo can be. Their taloned feet can actually tear out a grown man's alimentary canal (no joke), and their punches are sometimes powerful enough to break bones. Not to mention that they can occasionally weigh up to 3 times as much as an adult human, and generally hang around in groups.
I'd like to see that bastard's face if he goes toe-to-toe with an unrestrained adult male roo...
