Wonderful post! Do you think the animals eventually realize that they are seeing themselves? Do they have that level of self-consciousness? We assume that they do not have our bicameral minds.

I have had a Male Cardinal attack "the Interloper" in my bedroom window, mirror on the car, incessantly for 3 months. We call him "old bent Beak."
He frequently knocks himself silly and falls, only saving himself from the waiting cats by latching onto the side of a tree.
Persistence he has.

I think the chimps are the only ones who figured it was their reflection.

What's the point??

Making animals look like buffoons or for personal entertainment ?

The laugh may be on you !

Their intelligence may be inferior to your's but I can guarantee you that they will eclipse you physical in every way known by a very wide margin. .

I think it's interesting that the cats seemed clued in to the reality that it was them MORE than the primates. You saw no aggression or fear from the cats, but plenty of both from both the gorillas and the chimps.

Interesting reaction!! My initial thought was "and these people would call hunters cruel" at least we generally don't play with our game.

Frostbite:

Don't worry. I'm actually one of the most sanguine, hard core extremist hunters on planet earth hunting for 7 decades and shooting with NO remorse, open chase fair game.

Otherwise I have zero tolerance for any other.

I'm a very dedicated aficionado of the animals. I highly respect their undisputed superiority to us physically. They eclipse us dramatically there in virtually every survival way

Our saving grace is our superior intelligence. But that does not negate our conscionable voluntary obligation to, none the less, pretend that we are the same, same animals with the same mentality to kill to survive. It's just programmed into us.

Undisputed physical superiority?? How's that opposable thumb going Mr Dolphin?

I must confess that on some mornings I react just like the chimps. But only before shaving and showering.

Mike:

You're a devil Confused

You just had to air the dirty laundry didn't ya.

I was one of Saeed's original moderators. Further I was the one that got him his membership in the National Rifle Association.

In appreciation for my services Saeed sent to me a silver plaque of multiple displays which hangs on my wall now.

My two reasons for quitting the site were #1. The incessant screwballs back than stirring up trouble and #2. The political turn jump ugly about George Bush. I just had enough.

Saeed is a great Guy and a dear friend. You all cannot imagine how much he has contributed to your interests both supportively and monetarily. He has to rank up there in number one position for the advocate of our interest and sport, big game hunting.

There is NO other website that even comes close and it is abundantly evident from participant posts all over the world that this in THEE pre-eminent leader by a wide margin. You won't find any other so tolerant and accommodating for completely unselfish reasons.

Compared to the old days, this crowd are significantly well behaved, professional,polite, considerate and surely a different mind set. I'm really pleased and impressed.

The information here, in every aspect, is worth it's weight in gold.
