You know it's funny... I watched the whole thing just now, this time NOT after having just read snake forums for half an hour. And if you take a step back it really just seems like a happy, simple guy catching turtles to cook up for a meal.
...When maybe two hours ago, when I first watched this, I saw someone with no respect for the turtles just throwing them around like sacks of potatoes. "Those poor turtles!" I was thinking.
It's really amazing what reading forums can do to your head, huh?
I don't mean that in a bad way. As a pet hobbyist it's so easy to get caught up about trying treat our pets and our feeders as humanely as possible. Which is great by the way (nobody go accusing me of torturing my mice please!), but I feel sometimes like human relationships with animals - the pets and the food - are two sides of the same coin... Anybody hear me on this? I'm not a hunter but maybe those of you who hunt can chime in on this kind of thing.
