I think I sprained something new laughing at that. Is Mrs Emo Wolfie back in the cave cutting herself in the bathroom while she purges her last meal?
Yeah, she found out that sparkly vampires don't dive and she's been inconsolable ever since....

We have decades of "clues" that feeding wild animals alters their behavior ... not usually to the benefit of the animal.

Just ran across this article today ...

http://www.gainesville.com/article/2010 ... tor-attack

Synopsis ... humans feed alligator. Alligator then bites a human. Human ends up in critical condition, alligator ends up dead.

Here's a comment from the Cave Diver's forum ...

Apparently, this animal had been fed by humans. Eric Hutchinson (lives near) said he had had several run ins with this animal and it was fearless around humans. It is a shame that humans created this situation -- Pete getting attacked and the animal having to be put down. I was told that the process of putting him down was as professional as possible though. There was no chest beating or bravado; just 3 guys doing their job efficiently.

What more is there to say?

Why blame the Wolfie for any wrong doing?

Okay after going back and reading, I was just defending the fact that the wolf eel was angry. Kind of like what Bob stated,
Not Angry just being whats in his nature.

I absolutely LOVE to throw rocks at a bee hive. Not sure why, but I do. I do understand that every now and then, those bees are gonna come out and sting me. Now, me being me, after they do sting me, I am going to march around all indignant as say "why the hell did those bees sting me?"

I am such a mess.

Your obsession reminded me of this quote:

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.
-Jack Handy

I think this sums up the topic nicely....

I blame the parents. Yes, it's all about the first few informative years.
