I hate documentaries.

They make you feel bad, sinful, and confirm the fact that humans are idiots.

And get this:
I wasn't particularly emotional when they say 2 lions ate around 120 humans (known as Tsavo maneaters, back around 1898), but i cried when the documentary remake one part of humans shoo-ing African elephants away from their territory.
Which isn't true, because it's a remake version.

But i still cried.
Oh well, its normal for me, i'm not surprised really.

But honestly, pity those elephants ok.
They supposedly roam like, almost the whole of Africa before ok! But because of us sinful humans, we took over their habitat, force them to limit their territory, therefore kacau-ing their migratory patterns and caused a lot of unnecessary "elephant-man encounter", destruction of field and all... thanks to us humans.
We should give a badge to each other for our stupidity.

If you think about it, it's OUR fault isn't it? The elephants' aren't to blame, because we made it difficult for the elephants, and in the end padan muka sendiri.
Karma.
But being humans, one of our best qualities is to put our own faults on others. So... you get the gist of it.


African elephants are known for their aggression as compared to their Asian counterpart, which can be tamed and is not very aggressive. On the other hand, it made me wonder if its US humans who made them more aggressive.

See, those African humans are known to roam almost the whole of Africa! Africa is like freaking HUGE ok!
When us humans interfere, we took their land, shoo them away, perhaps killing them and also hunting them at the same time.
Elephants are known to be animals who mourn for members of family who has died (even after years and all thats left is the bones), and if they see you killing or hurting their family member, they will kill you in-return. And they have a very good memory.

So maybe its because of US, who pushed the elephants to the brink of their survival, that in order to survive, they have to be aggressive.
And its a generation to generation thing until now, and thus, thats why African elephants had became much more aggressive.

Its logical if you think about it, don't you?


On another note, i do have my favourite type of animal, but i try not to have "favouritsm", because for one, its silly. For two, as a "so-called-hypocrite-conservationist", i shouldn't.
I don't want to be regard as an "animal-lover" but only chooses cute, furry animals to like and conserve, then disregard the life-and-death of all other animals which probably need my help to spread the conservation message even more (because its easier for cute furry animals to reach out to shallow-minded appearance-caring and very thick humans to conserve them).

In other words i don't want to be *labeled* as just an "animal-lover", because i really AM an animal lover. A conservationist, and i'll do my best to conserve them.

Hmm, Steve Irwin will be proud of me =D!


Anyways, in regards to predator and prey, i remember watching March of the Penguins (good movie... er, documentary i mean...), and the part where the Leopard Seals was hunting the penguins, Loo Yee was actually disgusted by the hunt, whereas since i grew up watching documentaries, its like nothing to me.

I guess its because, apart from having watched countless documentaries, i also understand the Circle of Life, as "taught" to me by The Lion King, my favourite Disney cartoon of all time (who says tee-vees programs are bad?)!
While watching National Geography's Top30 (which my whole entry is based on), when they talked about Spotted Hyena, they showed the hyena hunting the calf of an African Buffalo.
I was like "oh no oh no" but not like "omg stupid hyena" etc, because i know the "Circle of Life".

However, when they showed how the hyena was like... hunting a lion's cub (or was it Cheetah? I know its a big cat's cub for sure)... i actually cringed and was like, "CURSES YOU STUPID HYENA"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly shows how much i love Lions.

It's wrong.
But i can't help it... its... lion cubs... big cat cubs... ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a real hypocrite seriously.


ps: If you really want to know...
Because i'm opposed to hunting, i actually felt sad when i found out the lions of Tsavo are killed then turned in to rugs. Like bloody hell.

Thats why i don't like angmohs.

pps: Because its natural of my nature to hurl out abuses to people who hurt animals...

I hope you get stomped on by elephants, thrown around by a stamped of wildebeests, laughed at by the hyenas (then bitten), roared at by the lions, then finally into the river to meet hippos and crocodiles. Oh, i forgot the buffalo and leopard. Without them, Africa's Big Five is not complete isn't it?
Ooh and my precious Cheetahs (i love them, so adorable!)!

Padan muka tau?

But this is so mild, it's like... so nice to them lor. Tch.
