You know who are really aholes Cow? Bunnies! Bunnies are aholes. Last week we had I saw a couple in our back yard when I looked out the window. One was all sprawled out on his belly with his legs behind him like our cat does when he is really relaxed. "Oh how cute, honey get your phone and put some pictures on FB." What I couldn't see was the 3 huge hostas next to the house those two fat asses had just mowed down. No wonder they only made it 5 feet before they had collapsed. Bunnies are aholes Cow. Sorry but I just found out about it.

I am about to watch Food, Inc on Netflix. I really don't think GMOs are all that bad though. If scientist can engineer crops to be more disease resistant I think they should. I almost got side tacked and watched Neil deGrasse but it's all about choices. I sneak in a little here though Neil deGrasse Tyson: Politicians, Stop 'Cherry-Picking Science' for Political Gain

Bunnies are aholes.

SR,
I think bunnies are just being bunnies when they eat from a garden.
I can see if they hot wired your car and drove around all night, leaving no gas in the tank and filling the ashtray. Then, yes, they're being aholes.
But a garden of hostas is like a buffet to them! Kind of like calling squirrels aholes for collecting all the acorns.
Just my raccoon opinion.

I haven't weeded the backside of my house in a few years. I have a very small tree trying to grow back there. I wasn't too broken up over it. That ahole bunny you describe actually sounds like it could be a teenager in a bunny suit if that bunny left fast food wrappers all over the back seat and cleaned out the change compartment.

I watched that film Cow. It was good but nothing about it was too surprising. I really felt bad for Kevin's mom. First she loses her son and then she tries to bring attention to the problem only to find out it's all about profits and there isn't much to be done except all of us voting with our dollars. Honestly, the idea of eating meat kind of grosses me out. Had I not been introduced it when I was young I doubt I could get passed the idea of eating flesh off an animal. I can't watch animals being butchered so I had to close my eyes for that.

It just occurred to me raccoons could have a bias toward bunnies

All sentient beings are really just doing their own thing. What about spiders and snakes, is it ok to just kill them because they lack the cuteness factor?

silentrun

I don't like spiders and snakes...but that ain"t what it takes to love me... Sorry had a Jim Stafford rant.

It occurs to me that a majestic feline may have a bunny bias as well.

BackToSquareOne

It's strange to think about it but do you think cute little fluffy would think twice about eating you if you were 2 inches tall? In the oceans billions of creatures kill and eat billions of other creatures, it's all kind of hard to figure out when you look at it from that perspective.

SR, "Waste Land" and "Chasing Ice" is probable better film, and "Black Fish" really good too.

I like the bunnies very much especially when they sprawled out with they feets behind them, what is possible cuter? (I mean, besides Cow.) And the raccoons too, Melissa. In forest where I have cabin everybody always try to shoo them away, even traps them! Is terrible! I think they adorable. And is like, put security strap on you garbage, people, is not that hard!

Personal, I never kills anything. I like spider, they amazing. I escorts them outside. I even rescue fruit fly from my juice and release outside, cuz I not can bear to see even that teeny tiny little life struggling not to drown in my OJ. On Bill Maher show last night he say in just last 40 years, human activity has resulted in 52% decrease of all animal life on Earth. Oceans was over 70% decrease. He like, uh, you know we live in ecosystem, it can't just be human, dogs and cat.

I does believe in food chain, B2SQ1, but humans has perverted it to feed our overpopulated masses. And we only species that wiping out other species for financial gain or sport. And we only ones polluting Earth to point where it not gonna be livable for any of us.

Well I gonna start back with my AD tomorrow and hope can find a dose that work but not make me manic. God know, everybody here probable like, Jesus Christ! When will that morbid Cow cheer up!

Oh no, I especially treat spiders and snakes well because I know other humans will not. I go out of my way to help them and protect them from the humans that think they are not cute. Whatever that means.

I'm not in tune with humans and the cute thing, even though my wife is a super model and humans do think she is cute. Lol. She does not like spiders or snakes but always calls me to save them when she sees they are in danger.

I have no beefs with the spiders. Snakes unnerve me if I'm not expecting to see them. My experience is spiders and snakes have a live and let live attitude. Unless you're a fly and get stupid. Just stay out of the web and it's all good.

Some traditions say We are the weavers, we are the web. Something about the Universe we spin.

guess you had to be there.

Love from Lenina

And as Mary Chapin Carpenter says,
"Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're the bug".

I also can not watch a creature suffer and always save them from the pool. And if a spider is in my house, I thank it for visiting before...
well,you know.

Gilmer

The whole household relies on me to rid the house of bugs. I'm the only one who doesn't recoil in horror!

Sorry, but I will never apologize for swatting mosquitoes!

People rush up to me but I just get up, and go to class. I carry my bike cuz it destroyed. I lock it up as if it was normal day.

Teacher come up to me in class: Um, you is bloody, WTF? I say, oh, yes, well I was hit by car on way here. (Cuz, in my world, you take care of you self and you not ever ask for help.) So teacher say, you going to office right now and we calling you momma.

I go to office and they call my momma and get older brother out of class to come be with me. Momma take us home and ... she yell at me cuz my bike was ruin. At some point my older brother shout "She hurt! Stop yelling at her!" Is one of only few memory I have of childhood. You did NO challenge my mother when she have her rage disorder. I will always love my older brother for this, even though he total dead inside now and not even can care for his own children, which break my heart.

Holy cow, Cow! I just saw this. So was that you!?

It was the late 70's and I was driving my assume 60's muscle car that I built myself and driving like I was accustomed to, let's just say not like most people drive. So I'm going around a corner and suddenly I'm totally blinded by the sun glare. I slam on my brakes bc I can't see even my hood. I screech to a halt and then I see on my hood, this school girl with her books in a backpack looking at me very calmly. On my hood.

I'm horrified. I imagine I'm going to be locked up and rightfully so. I get out and she brushes me off. Says , no, I'm fine, really. She picks up her bent bike and carries it away before I can stop her to make sure she IS ok. I beg her to let me pay for the bike repair but no, she is fine, does not need anything from the nutty guy in the stupid muscle car.

So was that you?

Cow

It was a three speed bike. I remember that. But I will buy you a ten just to make up for that other poor girl. It was Ann Arbor. My favorite place besides Manhattan.
