Pointless creatures
« on: June 15, 2009, 08:31:49 AM »
Ok so we've established pigeons have no merit in the modern world and therefore should be proactively culled to extinction - well a couple of us have said we don't like them - evidence enough surely  whistle:

So what other creatures need to go - be fossilised, slither back to the depths of the unknown or just be swatted away.

For me I do not understand the merit of having any of these critters in whatever ecosystem they exist  Shrugs:

rats
wasps
moths
head lice

Well yes, slugs. Can you cook them in garlic like? You'd have to hold off with the salt though  ;)

Jellyfish

And Giant Pandas What do they do? They're so lazy they don't even have sex.

And chimps. Name one contribution they have made. No chimp has ever lifted a finger for me

I think she has carefully considered her options and decided on the thing that would wind me up most. A simple goldfish would not be nearly exciting enough. Last year she wanted a Galapagos  tortoise  cussing:

Be careful with your captive jellyfish. Their sting can be painful.

These things all need looking after. The Boy agreed to feed Boobygirl's three cats for the weekend. Pity he didn't tell us. Pity he forgot to feed them  scared2:
