what does it matter about how often either happens? it's the difference between humane and inhumane (cruel) killing.

Well when I said "a lot more" I meant in terms of frequency, not degrees of cruelty. I agree that burning a cat in a bonfire is incomparable to killing a turkey for food, but how many cats are burned and how many turkeys are killed?

This being the rant/bitch/moan thread:

I hate the fact that my family is going on holiday on Saturday, leaving me with a free house for a week.

For some reason, mosquitoes never bother me when I'm abroad, they go for everyone else. But when I'm at home, you'd swear I was haute ****ing cuisine, the way the midges go for me..argh, I hate the little bastards.

snorlax

not the spiders with the long legs, a bit like daddy long legs, not scarey at all....

I feel the same but replace the word "spider" above with "Kevin".

snorlax

normally i am afraid of them, but this one's a pet spider and will become tame soon enough with the right training!

it's the black ones with the big bodies that are scary!

John

I've seen bigger

snorlax

where? not in ireland?!

John

In a jar in the zoology department

snorlax

great iv just checked my bedroom and the spiders vanished off somewhere since last night, i hope it's not under my bed or something !...

is any one here's a spider dealer could they give me any tips for finding it?

speaking of which here's an exotic looking one i found in my garage last year, any one know what type of spider it is?

Kevin_rc_ie

from the picture i'd guess it's either a Atypus affinis (purse web spider) or a Dysdera crocate. interesting find if it's the former.

Chick

Oh God this thread is freakin' me out+making me all shuddery, they're so horrible!!!

How could anyone possibly like those things!!!!

snorlax

its actually a log bigger then it looks aswell, its not a scutty spider, about as big as one of those garden spiders. i reckon its female and could be about to lay eggs cos its abdomen is just too big to be normal..;)!

Kevin_rc_ie

that's actually quite typical. these fat ass spiders i don't think it's a female/eggs related thing. it could be thou.

snorlax

i hope i dont i have some kind of rare super breed spiders breeding in my garage, i just remember that film arachnophobia....ugh spiders coming out of the shower...:(

i don;t see that many of those super spiders around the place, are they really that typical? what type of spider are those big black ones that you see rarely but scare the living daylights out of most girls?

John

I've seen a few of those spiders, nothing wierd or dangerous about them.

Chick

Yeah they just scare the bejesus outta people...!!

John

some people

snorlax

Chick do you remember Indiana Jones and the last Crusade and he had to walk through all those cobwebs?! or in the temple of doom, a room fall of bugs, centipedes and the like... now that was scary:(! ugh god i think i wil get rid of that pet spider if i can ever find it....

Another scary fact (told to me by Kev_rc at the pav); we eat 7 spiders a year...:(!

DrIndy

Spiders are cool - you get tarantulas in southern USA - they hide out in burrows underground and ambush passing prey including your feet.......

.... then they crawl up your trouser leg.......

I'd still like to see the proof for this.

Just checked PubMed and there's no article listed there. The closest I could get was this
