Is this year over yet?

I am back. I think that I have had enough of 2006. I mean West Virginia coal miners, alive and then dead. That was a sad way to begin the year, but it is all in a life. I know that it is easy for me to say, so I am saying it, but it is true.

I was reading, today, about some animal stories that occurred in South Africa this year. One had some mugger type dude, running from the cops and then hiding in a zoo. Unbeknownst to the moron, he was in a tiger cage. The tigers did their thing and justice was served. Of course, to the tigers, justice tasted like dinner.

Then a mother had a her nose bitten off by a seal. She was only trying to help, but damned if the mother seal did not see her as a threat. Or mama seal bit a human nose off just for shits and giggles.

The authorities are blaming Disney for making wild animals seem human and friendly. It has nothing to do with Disney. It is natural selection. I mean the idea of going to pet a seal cracks me up. They may have those doeful eyes, like a human infant, but there is a reason why seals are clubbed. They are nasty, eat all the fucking cod fish and smell bad, plus the pelts of their young make for a warm coat. Damn, now I will have PETA bugging my ass, but bring them on.

Maybe, if I club and skin a few of them, they will get the message. Wild animals are not cute and cuddly. They behave like, well, animals, which makes an awful lot of sense, because that is what they are.

I have always known that network television is informative. I learned from "Arrested Development" that seals are not to be trifled with. Buster lost his hand to a loose seal. Now, I see one bite the nose of a woman (stupid woman, obviously, and she has to wear her badge of stupidity for life, or is that go without a nose, which would make wearing eyeglasses rather difficult, I would imagine), club 'em before they get you!

All I can say is that these are wild animals and do what they do. It is not human, so there is no good or bad. They feel threatened or see an easy meal, they attack. It is not rocket science. If you have watched any Discovery channel stuff, the predators tend to pick off the weakest in the herds. It is no different here, I mean the best and brightest would not find themselves in the tiger cage. It seems appropriate that tigers help cull the human herd of its stupid. Long live the tiger!

Ciao!
