    Default Nature vs nurture

    Holy crap, no. I've been watching the animal planet show, fatal attractions, on netflix. Not that its hard to imagine but, animals that have evolved to kill actually pose a great risk to those around them. As Chris rock concluded of the sigfried and Roy incident, that tiger didn't go crazy, it went tiger.

    I am so very happy you brought that up. I have been tempted to watch it, but I tend not to like subtitles. Is it really as good as they say (considering the subtitles")?

    There aren't any subtitles. Only slight accent issues. But it was good, I liked it.

    It's dubbed in English? Isn't it a foreign movie?

    in all fairness Jim, I love the story of Christian the lion; still makes me swell with emotion every time I see it.

    Wow, that one was somewhat different, had a lot of footage that I had not seen in the other videos. What an awesome story. I still can't help but believe that she knows they saved her and gave her a good home, and then were decent enough to give her back to the wild.

    Wow! he was a she in that version-- that's a lot different.
    But you hit the nail on the head-- they're wild animals; they belong in the wild.
