Cairo, Egypt is a good example of the same experiment. Just check it out via Google maps. If only we could zoom in more we’d be able to see more of the action.

But it’s perfectly ok to watch two Humans pound the living crap out of each other?

Remeber, not everyone is raised in the same culture as Americans.

In South America Cockfighting is a favorite pastime.

The Middle East? They love Dogfighting.

All humans love violence. It’s ingrained into us.

By calling them pathetic, you are only insulting yourself.

熊と虎を無理矢理合わせて、どちらが死ぬまで戦わせたら”殺し合わせている”ってことになる、間違いない。でも、金魚とミミズを合わせたら、違うやろう。イジメなんかならないよ。自然なことなのさ。

Plus what Ed said. You can’t “murder” shrimp.

Murder only involves people killing people. You don’t murder animals.

Yeah, like in that National Geographic special when the Cheetah ran down the antelope and grabbed it by the throat, and the ring doctor came out and stopped things since the antelope was having trouble breathing.

Don’t think so….

And where the hell did the “child” come from?

Of course, I doubt it would feel that way about the octopus, but I bet the octopus was fairly happy.

Anyway, these fights will never be as awesome as a lobster knife fight.

I declare it terrible.

I need more of this in my life!

As I understand it, fighting insects is a childhood past time for many Japanese children. I can understand why a group of children find a praying mantis and put it up against a crawfish or something like that. It is in a way a learning moment. Kind of like when I cut a snake in half when I was 5. I cried and cried for an hour or so afterward.

The difference here being that adults are watching these creatures maim each other for entertainment. That is rather pathetic.
