If You Could Wipe Out One Animal Species...

I am heavily invested in the bug zapper business and I hope that mosquitoes do not win this poll.

I can't because

I believe that Shums are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the Shum's laughter remind us how we used to be

[slayda]

You left out "Humans"!!

Id pay to read that diary!!!

Dear Diary;
Mom is being so unfair!!! She won't let me borrow the car so I could go to the movies with Johnny!!! I hate them!!!

I voted for sharks because humans werent on the list, I think all the other animals would get along fine without us

[Xiaopanda]

If I could wipe put any species? Like any need our help?!!?

I say let the over specialised go the way of the Sabre tooth, and anything that can stand global warming and the rate we are polluting the earth has earned the right to survive.....but NOT pelicans.....Pelicans are simply evil.....

Can I add sisters to the list mods, they're a kind of animal, right?

So hard to choose....NOT! I pick spiders.. HATE HATE HATE them (well, not all - just Black Widows)

Mosquitoes have never really "chewed" on me but I seem to attract Black Widows. Just got bit again this last Friday... My arm was an interesting thing to see. The cramps and nausea was something I could have done without. So yeah, get rid of the Black Widows...

I almost chose sharks.
(Thinking about the movie Jaws still gives me nightmares...) I was almost 21 and had a waterbed at the time I saw the movie. I wasn't able to sleep on it as every time the bed moved it felt like being on a boat -- which ended up giving me a flashback to JAWS. I couldn't even go swimming unless I could see what I was swimming in. So, of course, no lakes (we had a boat and lived close to 2 lakes) I stayed on the boat no matter how hot it was.

Oh, and Moejoe....

I have a feeling that my nightmares will now coontain a Giant Mosquito along with a Great White Shark.

This poll left out two related species that should be wiped out:

• Koala
• Drop Bear

G'day bobs and knobs, Adrian is now in your presence. He is...not happy.

So...what have we here?...a poll for humans about eliminating one of us other species from the planet. A poll for, by, you, you human pestilence, determining just which other animal you hate - for paranoid reasons, for phobic reasons, for, what, reasons of human-determined "purpose" - that must be gone from reality. Oh, yes, you "evolved" primates have come so far, haven't you? You're so far up that food chain it's surprising you aren't eating your own waste instead of speaking so much of it.

You, who have destroyed so much...which might make you eminently qualified to carry out your determination, but those arrogant qualifications ironically excuse you from any reasonable sentience's approval of you as a reliable judge.

"But we're at the top of the food chain". Bollocks to that, you bald bastiches. Remember, you're at the top of the food chain because you defined the term "food chain". Hey, there's a shock! - humans defining themselves as the centre of the universe, and then using the definition as proof that they're the centre. Tell it to the worms, monkey-face. Kill spiders, your mossies multiply. Kill mossies, the spiders and dragonflies and anything else onward and "up" and your "chain" falls apart like the paper it's written on.

So, you hideous little freaks of nature...if you vote for anything, vote for shums, or better yet the blue one next to the fish. Do it, or a superior force is coming for you. The Pirate Ninja Squirrels despise your arrogance and only a giggling insanity and the attention span of a quantum shift recall you from their attention, but a few words here and there from this particular invisible gibbon and they'll be swarming over you and draining you to husks like...well, like mossies on a bald ape.

ENOUGH! Enough from you lot. All animals are beautiful, even humans when they let their minds drive instead of their drooling, gallumphing, guffawing, stomping, greedy egos. A vote for eradication of another animal species is a vote for me, Adrian the Invisible & Inadvertently Violent and Now Furiously Filled With The Force Of Impending Doom (yours) to come around and reach up through your colon to tear out your brain (I'm suspecting I won't have to reach very far).

...and for you Bilbo...to vote for "dogs"? Mate (and understand, mate, that in the downunderverse, using the term "mate" has shades of definition all the way from absolute loyalty to restrained threat - guess which one this is?), even for voting "dogs" I can't take your Bilbophy from you that Marc gave you, but don't think I won't come 'round there and use to it to kick eleventy kinds of crap out of you.

[Marc: Hmm, why have the walls in here gone red...and, kind of...bleeding? Did someone out there upset Adrian. Please say it ain't so. That's not gonna be pretty if you don't placate (or sedate) him real quick. If someone insulted his dress sense, well, good luck...I'm just glad I'm safe in here, because the only thing that would make him more upset than that is species elimination HA HA HA which thankfully no-one would intentionally suggest in front of him HA HA.]

Hmm, I notice the related thread below...something about "endangered species". Apt perhaps.

Yours with teeth bared and limbs limbered to arm-tearing readiness,
Adrian, the Angry

[GeoffC]

everyone and everything has their own place, whether we like it or not .....

(anyone seen Marc?)

[pshrynk]

Someone seems to have moderated the poll to include SHUMS and a bias in their favor...


Without mosquitoes, we would not have purple martins or bats. Summat to think about, there.

We are humans. We hunt, we kill, we gather.
You cannot deny this is natural! Our desire to save all these species is decidedly unnatural.
And no, animals are not necessarily beautiful. Tell that to a warthog. Or a drop bear.

me thinks the warthog and the drop bear ought to have their own poll result .....
