Tuesday, January 8

OK, just one more...

If you know anything about animals, you know that mothers sometimes consume their sickly young. (Has to do with fear of predators to the nest, and disposing of the birth remains so as to remain undetected.)

But never let Mr. Gay Rights Rhetoric miss a chace to humanize and add his homosexuality spin. Here's what the article reports:

The zoo made the decision to remove the cub from its mother, Vera, after another polar bear at the zoo apparently ate her two newborn cubs.

Though Vera has not tried to harm her own cub so far, it was taken away from her Tuesday afternoon when she carried it out of her cave and appeared to try and hide it elsewhere in the polar bear compound, Maegdefrau said.

"She is absolutely nervous," he added.

Vera's cub, which was born in mid-December and has not yet been named, seems healthy and the chances of raising it by hand are good, Maegdefrau said. He added that the other polar bear, Vilma, most likely killed her cubs because they were sick.


And here's Silly Sully's spin:
The cub of polar bear Vera is seen in the hands of a care taker at the Nuernberger Tiergarten on January 8, 2007 in Nuremberg, Germany. Her companion Vilma had given birth to probably two cubs in December 2007 which now seem to have been devoured by the mother herself. A keeper of the Nuremberg Zoo did not see any signs of the two cubs whose voices had been heard before when he checked the cave on January 7, 2008.


So Vera and Vilma are somehow "companions", eh? Lol, sorry Andrew. It's just a basic natural fact, if you've ever seen animals birthed or read up on animal mothering insticts. Not cruelty really, just basic facts of survival in unprotected environments. Instincts not lost in "safe" places like zoos, it seems. Survival of the fittest, survival of the species, so to speak.

Women really are the stronger sex throughout life, you know. It's all in how -- and what -- you measure. Remember Ma Joad? Talk about strength to advance the group in times of adversity ... The easier route is just to walk away and pursue your own interests, of course, like brother Noah Joad.
