I Support Violence on TV
I watch Animal Planet with my Mom. I love the shows with the big cats. Wow, to think I am related to those magnificent creatures! I also like the shows with the predators - crocodiles, bears, wolves...
Now I hear that humans have started a movement to limit the amount of animal violence shown on TV! Apparently they want to protect their young from violence in the media. They stopped being hunters themselves and feel violent acts should not be a part of their lives. Talk about denial! How do they think we animals get meat to maintain our existence? Through violence. (Well, not us specifically. Mom brings OUR food home in cans.)
These shows are educational. After watching some of the techniques our glorious cousins in the wild use, my brothers and I get together and see if we can’t duplicate the moves - How to sneak up on prey, how to give proper chase... (Okay, we don’t really practice on each other. Mostly stuffed creatures on the bed and the occasional lizard or roach.)
I say we should have the right to choose whether we watch educational programs or not. We need to keep this information from being blocked. It could save our lives someday. If you believe this violence somehow debases our species then turn the TV off.
Keep the information highway open. Let’s not cower to the pressures of gutless minority do-gooders.

I’m lumped in with stuffed animals and roaches? The indignity!
Hey Frog-boy, at least you’re not in a cage. Little help?
I can’t take my eyes off the tv when our awesome relatives are on! The heck with human kids-let them watch the Wiggles.
I have to agree with my brother, George, and Cosmocat.There is nothing better than kicking back with a pinch of catnip and watching our cousins in the wild do what comes natural.Princess, I’ll bet those insects you munch on don’t appreciate being your meal. So let’s watch with the digit pointing. Chester, I’d let you out but you are omnivorous and I’m afraid I would become your next meal. Good luck buddy!
Oh sure the males and their testosterone injected violence viewing. But who is doing all the hunting that they are getting their jollies watching? The FEMALES. The males sit around and wait while we kill something then they get off their big butts and come over and demand to eat first. We killed it, why can’t we and our children eat first? Then after they’ve gorged themselves they go sleep under a tree and leave us the leftovers. What good are they?
