Interestin- somewhat ot

I find it rediculous that every time a burm does something it makes the headlines and is made into a circus. Oh, burm attack here, burm attack there. Burms are going to eat their way through the country, blah blah blah. Burm this.

This was just released by a local news channel about a dog attack. I wonder if the whole country is going to hear about it like they would had it been a burm? This type of attack happens every day, but it almost seems like they get swept under the rug. Maybe I'm wrong, what do you think?

You know, I was thinking. How many times do we here, it was my own fault when a snake situation happens? Often times people will say, oh, I just got done handeling a rat, I should have known better. Am I right?

Could it be, that this guy was carelessly walking through his house with a bag of dog chow, or a box of milk bones? I mean WTF was he thinking, if that's the case. I read in a comment that the man was making himself a snack when attacked, so maybe he should have known better. Who would think to eat in front of their dog?

You know what, animals are animals, and I don't care what it is. There is a risk involved with having an animal. I think the sooner that some of the jack asses realize that, the better off the whole country will be. Cause I for one am getting sick and tired of the direction this country is heading. I have even been talking about going to another country, because this one sure the heck isn't what it used to be. And by the looks of things, it won't be getting any better any time soon.

Maybe the animals are all in tune with each other and they are rising up against us. Here are just a few safty tips.

Please do not place your head over an open aquarium and look down to view the fish. Your goldfish may very well jump out of the water and latch on to your nose. In that case you would only have yourself to blame. Please view your fish responsibly by looking through the glass.

Please do not under any circumstances eat a peanut in front of your pet parrot. He way very well jump off of his perch and gouge out your eyes. Although if that were to happen you would not be able to see the mistake you just made, you dam sure would feel it. So, be a responsible peanut eater.

And, please do not eat fish or chicken in front of your cat. We all know what kind of claws these animals have. So if you were to be attacked by your cat by the time you were all bandaged up, you would look like a mummy from some horror movie. So don't do it.

I am just plain old sick and tired of all this animal rights crap. If you don't like that fact that I like animals, then don't come over to my house. And you know what, there's a darn good chance that I don't want you over any way.

I can't tell if that's tongue in cheek or not...I eat in front of my dogs and cats every day. They know to NOT attack me for food. The dogs thing I'm alpha (really my wife is ) and the cats know it'll get them squirted...these are domesticated, intelligent animals. They're not directly comparable to snakes.

Will just bite you later sometime, in what seems to be an out of the blue incident for not providing it with a peanut.

Spiteful, intelligent creatures. Fun.
