Lions and elephants on the Great Plains?
F'n Enviromentalist Morons. |
|
|
I live here. I won't be alone when I shoot every lion they put here. I don't give a DAMN what they want. Lions are no fun. There is a reason they are personified as a King. They are deadly to adults, kids, horses, cows, you name it.
Now I have 2 reasons for a .50 |
|
Hell Yeah! An African safari right here in the good old USA!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
Turn about is fair play. Tie this brainfart of an idea up in the courts because of "environmental impact studies" or better yet, feed the envirowhakos to the lions.
|
|
Same as the assholes protecting dangerous and/or nuisance species here already.
I'm not looking to wipe out an animal population, but if it causes me problems, I'm flinging lead. |
|
That is incredibly stupid.
Any properly trained wildlife biologist will tell you that exotic (non-native) species are not a good thing to have around or to introduce into an ecosystem. You can analyze it all you want, and you may think you've covered every possible outcome, but you can never be sure of exactly what will happen. |
|
Big +1! Let um have their elephants just so long as we can have our elephant season! |
||
|
What a BAD idea it would be to have lions roaming around......fuck that is so stupid. |
|
|
I can believe it.
Texas Parks and Wildlife (the state agency that basically oversees fish and game) has plans to repopulate bear here in East Texas. So enjoy that tranquil walk in the woods, everybody. |
|
If humans and urban sprawl have overrun the landscape, where the fuck do these idots plan on releasing these animals????? the quote above puts the entire article and argument in the trash. there is no need to read the entire thing. |
|
|
Fossilized lion remains found at the La Brea Tar Pits are almost indistinguishable from modern African lions. They were slightly larger.
I have no problem with people being eaten by lions. |

|
Lets run this by P.E.T.A.
All I can come up with on this one is "Are these f*****s absolutely dog-shit nuts?" |
|
Wouldn't it be funny if the animals had the same capability. "I'm not looking to wipe out an human population, but if it causes me problems, I'm flinging lead." Edit: not that I agree with the whole lions + america. |
|
|
Look at the whole problem with wolves being re-introduced and protected, study it, them come back and try being a smartass. |

Well when they get loose and start offing herds, or some unfortunate folks children....we'll have to ban lions, tigers, bears, and anything else that is carnivorous.
I've already got skunks, possum, spiders, cats and other homeless animals on my property due to the fact that they're building everywhere. It would be a wicked retarded idea to encroach a little more on the already established animals. For fuck sakes, people hit deer around here all the time. I'd hate to be the poor bastard who hits an elephant. |

But some of their biological cousins like mastodons, camels and saber-toothed cats, roamed for more than 1 million years alongside antelope and herds of bison until Ice Age glaciers retreated and humans started arriving.
So when are the Velociraptors coming up? I want a quad .50 for those |
|
Yep and the human inhabitants too. |
|
|
"Jurassic park" I was thinking the same thing. |

Let's see, I need to get my poor old brain around this. Scientists (mad or otherwise) have told us that the loss of a species, implicitly a change in the heirarchy, will upset the entire ecosystem. Would not the introduction of a completely new species have the same effect, especially if the species would be predatory? Is this project "science" or is it just a means to spend a grant , in effect playing at something which may be of interest to the "scientist" in question? Or, has it all been B.S., and these characters just tell everyone some nonsense, and testify solemnly in front of Congress, to get all sorts of restrictions because they thought it would be something to play at?

I swear if someone brought a T-Rex back to life these dumb fuks would want it released into the wilds of Montana...
|

Shoot, backhoe, and shut up. |
|
|
Fuck that shit, we dont need anymore Africans.
However I wouldnt mind more illegals from south of the border. How about more Jaguars instead. |
|
If I were crazy rich I wouldnt mind having a large chunk of land with lots of wild animals like Chupacabras and whatnot, but its definately not something the US government should be funding. |

|
Only if we get to do stuff like release Albertasaurus' in Alberta and let the poor Canucks deal with it. WE'RE the ones with the guns, remember. |
|
|
What retards.
Don't they know the harm that foreign species cause an ecosystem. It wipes out native species! And they call themselves scientists!? If they try to bring any foreign african species here, I'll see to it they become extinct for the sake of our own wildlife. |
|
Lions, Tigers, Elephants...in America...
Awesome! I can go on Safari in my neighborhood!!!!!! Better get myself a 416 Rigby or 470 Capstick! |
|
1. Relocate large african animals to the US....so we can hunt them. Cheaper safaris for us!
2. Relocate US liberals to africa....so the totalitarian socialist rebels can hunt them. Good for us! It's a win-win situation. Exterminate activists. |
|
Damn lion wouldn't last a day in chicago. It would be taxed to death and lied to by corrupt politicians. Beaten, robbed and raped in the hood. Then, end up at the local rib shack with some guy telling you that they are pork ribs.
Guaranteed that mofo would be on the first train back to the safari tellin' his other lion buddies how he got his ass ripped open in the city. |
|
Personally I'm reminded of the 1976 movie, "Hamps!".
In short, Arabian camels are brought in to a US Cavalry outfit to replace their horses in the American desert. And what fallows is reasonably funny. G-Rated, in case you’re wondering. |
|
Humps |
|
|
Damn, Imagine having to gut, drag and hang an elephant!..............................Then there's the cut and wrap! That's a lot of freezer paper!
|
|
It's a great idea. I'd rather not visit the Dark Continent to see elephants in the wild. Lions will help keep the population of squirrel and backpacker under control.
|
|
But the proposal's supporters say it could help save some species from extinction in Africa, where protection is spotty and habitats are vanishing
WHAT? WHAT!?!?!?! Habitats vanishing? From what?!?!?!?!?!? Industrial growth....Oh wait.. no. Population growth?!?! Oh wait, the population of Africa is actually going to start DECLINING because of AIDS and starvation... Maybe it is over-zealous farming.......oh wait NOPE! What the fuck? the lefty imbiciles need to go "back to africa" |
|
Oh, great-And I'm sure some long-haired dumb-ass hippie will live with the lions and sing to them and name them all and write a book about his experiences right up until the point he gets his hippy ass EATEN!!!

On second thought, maybe we could use them to patrol the border w/Mexico. Once they tasted "illegal meat", perhaps they would like it enough to stay close to the border.
I wonder what a mexican stink pickle dropped by a lion would look like? |
|
I think it's safe to say that we already have that |
|
|
Hmmm wonder how they would fair in a good ol great plains winter
