That's an assumption. Do you think every Discovery channel show is for amusement? I watch their shows a lot, and find them very educational. YMMV.

I think from RaiderJ's posts it's obvious he's not being cruel, and providing much more education than amusement.

I never saw any posts complaining about the cruelty of me taking pictures of her molting. From what you're saying, since I took pictures and posted them for "amusement", I was being cruel.

In both cases, I was simply recording something the spider does naturally (eat & molt). I would have videotaped and put the molt to music.... but it would have been a 10 hour video.

very nice video, found it rather informative as I have no prior knowledge of how any animal besides myself eats :D
i do feel sorry for the mouse, music makes it more tragic ;D nontheless, its the way of life, the spider wants to eat, and so it shall be
to all you PETA losers crapping this thread, go complain about something with harmful intent being done to animals, like deforestation or something. also, I don't see how you can be pro-choice yet think RaiderJ is a monster for feeding his spider a mouse. IMO anyone who has had an abortion because she was too fvcking lazy to impose a condom onto her boyfriend or a male-hooker (do they exist?) and ends up being impregnated and now wants an abortion is a stupid b!tch, yes i am insulting anyone that falls in that category. if she was raped and she was impregnated and wants to get an abortion thats fine, she did not want a child and she surely wants nothing to do with he who caused her this, but anyone else who wants an abortion is at least 1000x times more cruel than Raider for feeding the mouse to his spider. of course there is the medical reasons to get an abortion like risks to the mother and thats fine too, but i personally view anything else as cold-blooded murder.

First off, seeing how fast that spider took that mouse, I'm suprised you put your hand that close to it! Unlike Spider-Man, you will not gain any powers and die from a bite from that one. Also, if it breaks free in your house(earthquake or something), you are dead.
