View Full Version : Dog Shooting in Iraq for "Fun"
Fucking :fag:s
"Hi my name is M. D. formaly of A TRP 1-10 CAV 4ID and while in Iraq we had a sport of killing dogs whenever the Iraqis werent shooting us. So when I shot this one at about 50 yards with my M4 and it ran yelping to lower ground, we had to finish it so my friends and I went to it and started shooting it. I ve never seen a dog take as many shots to the head at least 4 as this one did and then after we thought it was dead we dug a hole and when I picked it up with the shovel it came back to life, so we shot it a couple more times....its pretty funny."

and who says the army doesnt attrack dickheads
i must say, my brothers friend joined defence force hear and he apparently shot wild dogs for fun with his army buds at some camp
i think alot of people who do join armed forces, have little prospects, in lower ranks anyways, not the nuclearscientists like the bugger family, but the grunts or whatever. People who can act out their agression and so forth with violence in a condoned way.

They are like Rats. They are not domesticated dogs either, they are wild dogs that have diseases and they attack people. Iraqis have been trying to get rid of them for the past 70 years. Now Americans have been having to deal with them getting into their camps.
Around my dad's camp they had less than lethal claymores set up. Every other day wild dogs would set a few of them off.

And fine cull the dogs if they have to, but do it quickly and humanely. These wankers took at least 5 bullets to kill a dog and still couldnt do it right from thier account.

Washington - Two weeks into the massive campaign to get rid of stray dogs in Iraq, the US Army reported that the situation is now under control and the Iraqi people are now safe from the scourge. President Bush looked at it, and it was all good. Next, He ordered that all rats in Iraqi, reported to look like the dogs and vice versa, to be eliminated. Yesterday, He authorized the use of tactical nuclear weapons to kill rats and their dens deep inside the sewers of major cities in Iraq. The "bunker busters" are able to penetrate deep into the catacomb like sewers and kill a fuckton of rats. Those not dead instantly will suffer from the radiation aftermath.
Quoting a high level nuclear official with the White House, nuclear weapons are fast, clean and efficient tool to ensure improved sanitation in Iraq. Refering to her husband, currently an MP in Iraq, she said that with improved living conditions in Iraq, extremists are less likely to fight, generating peace.. as well as economy via the massive influx of tasty radioactive rat and dog meat.

We sure did, and a brilliant idea it was, too. Shooting the little buggers isn't always easy, cos they can run pretty fast, but dropping a stick of dynamite down a burrow could take out 50-100 of them in one hit. We also fish using dynamite - have you ever seen Crocodile Dundee II? :D

That doesn't really show.
Contrary to another popular perception, pigs are not stupid. In fact, they are very smart. Their intelligence was in the headlines when a young pig named Priscilla saved a Texas boy's life. The 11-year-old boy, Anthony, went swimming in Lake Somerville of Texas one hot summer day in 1984. He ventured too far into the water and started to drown. Priscilla -- the family's pet pig -- noticed the boy struggling and immediately began swimming toward Anthony. When she reached Anthony, he was in such a panic. He grabbed for Priscilla's leash so hard that both of them went under. Although Anthony weighed nearly four times more than Priscilla, Priscilla managed to get to the surface and pull Anthony toward the shore. Even years after the incident, Priscilla still got upset whenever she saw young children playing near the water! link (http://www.edhelper.com/AnimalReadingComprehension_109_1.html)

Notice the pig was their pet, meaning it was around them a lot. So it is smarter than your average pig. Besides, way more stories about dogs saving people.
And dealing with a pig is not like dealing with a Human, that should be obvious.

Pigs certainly can be tought to sniff for drugs, and supposedly may well be better than dogs at it because they have more sensitive smell receptors.
Although it's certainly no wonder dogs interact better with humans than other animals, we've done a good job in domesticating them over many thousands of years:

Encyclopedia Britanica: Any of the wild members of the pig species Sus scrofa, family Suidae. The term boar is also used to designate the male of the domestic pig, guinea pig, and various other mammals. The term wild boar, or wild pig, is sometimes used to refer to any wild member of the Sus genus.

Pigs “have the cognitive ability to be quite sophisticated. Even more so than dogs and certainly [more so than] three-year-olds,” says Dr. Donald Broom, Cambridge University professor and former scientific advisor to the Council of Europe.(1) Pigs can play video games, and when offered a choice, they have indicated environmental temperature preferences.(2)
These facts are not surprising to anyone who has spent time around these social, playful animals. Pigs, who have a great sense of smell and can live into their teens, are very protective of their young and form bonds with other pigs. Contrary to popular belief, pigs are clean animals, but they do not have sweat glands, so they take to the mud to stay cool and ward off flies.(3,4)

Those aren't domesticated, their ancestors were brought there hundreds of years ago and they have slowly adapted to Australia. It is highly unlikely any of their ancestors were domesticated either. Every hear of zoos getting baby lions and so on? They cannot just let them back into the wild because they would just die.

Noddy there are plenty of people round here that can tell you of horses that have escaped properties to go run with brumbies. Brumbies = wild horses. All of which came from originaly domesticated stock.
There are also heaps of wild cows, especially on the islands, where the fences (if they even have a fence) are run down on old properties and the terrain makes mustering difficult, and now there are hundreds of wild cattle surviving and breeding quite well on thier own. They even named one of the islands "Wild Cattle Island" after them all.
There are feral cats in the bush and even in the national forests living off the native animals, why would you think they all live in cities?
Even if they did, do you really think someone is putting out some fucking Snappy Tom for all the strays? If they can forage for food in the city then its not gonna be to difficult to find food in the scrub full of birds and small animals.

It is my opinion that you can never "really" domesticate animals. They are animals after all, and it is inbuilt into their brains to be wild and to hunt. They don't have to be taught to hunt or kill birds. A cat kept in a house for it's entire life and that has never seen a bird before will still have the urge to stalk it and then chase it. Kittens in a litter fight each other without being told (that is, kept away from their mother from birth or any other animals) to practise their hunting skills. And I can tell you that if the cat doesn't eat the kills it brings in it is just giving it to you because you're higher up in it's little cat hierarchy. That's why it dumps it on your feet. :grr:
Oh and just to add..."wild animals" that are supposedly "domestic animals" gone wild, were originally wild in the first place (aka prehistoric times) and no matter how much you domesticate them they're still going to be wild. They're just reverting back to thier original roots.
Hippy Vindalou
20-03-2005, 12:44 PM
So how do these wild animals come about then? Do the domesticated ones pratice being wild, slowly training up thier offspring to be wild over generations until one day "You are ready grasshopper, I cannot teach you anymore. You must now leave to make your own way in the world".
There were no wild cows before these ones, there were no wild horses here originally. THEY WERE FARM ANIMALS WHO ESCAPED AND OR LEFT TO TO THEMSELVES FOR SO LONG THEY HAVE BECOME WILD. THEY WERE NOT WILD TO START WITH.
Godamn, you prove with two lines what it took me a paragraph to point out. That being you are both stupid and an arsehole.
Do you really think a domesticated animal has lost all its natural instincts? An animal bred in a small cage or pen for generations is unlikely to survive but anything else isnt just going to forget how or what to eat.
You reckon domestic animals cannot survive in the wild? Prove it!

Is that your argument? Becuase by that rational they def are as stupid as MPs
How exactly do these wild cats become wild then Noddy?
As so far your argument is that they can live as long as they have never been around humans as they wouldn't be smart enough to hunt and eat, yet if they just appeared then they would instanly be able to hunt and kill for themselves even when they are kittens.

Domestic animals are not capable. They are domesticated. They don't just spring back instincts and turn wild. They cannot and will not. It is impossible. They must adapt. They can only slowly adapt to wild lives.
Cats have never really been domesticated. They still retain most of their wild instincts. For that matter, so do most other animals we think of as domesticated, but with cats they're much closer to the surface. Cats almost never come when called, they are very difficult to train, and, unlike most other pets, they almost never do tricks. Put most cats in the middle of the wilderness, and they will do quite well, especially in an environment like Australia, which has relatively few large predators and quite a lot of things that can easily end up as a damp squeak in the night.
It's much the same with a wolf. You can train a wolf from a pup, but it still won't be "domesticated". Cats are slowly losing the domestication battle, but they are putting up one heck of a fight.
This thread is comedy gold!

Not true. Feral cats live in the Northern Territory which has a very low human population. They survive by predating on local fauna. I dare you to try and pick one up for a cuddle, you won't have a face afterwards. They avoid humans as the local aborigines hunt them.
For management purposes, cats are divided into three categories — domestic, stray and feral — although individual cats may move between categories. Domestic cats are owned and cared for, and stray cats are those found roaming cities, towns and some rural holdings. Feral cats, which survive without any human contact or assistance, are the main target of control programs. (http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/cat/index.html)
Why on earth would they have introduced wild horses? Horses arrived with the First Fleet in 1788. Shipments of working farm horses followed, and the first record of horses either escaping into the bush or being abandoned was in 1804 (http://www.deh.gov.au/biodiversity/invasive/publications/horse/index.html)

How exactly did these wild horses get to Australia then?
If you had enough money to bring horses on a 6 month sailing voyage, you didn't have to go prancing around the English country side to own one.
No wait, don't answer that, as everytime you don't reply to my posts it proves that you know I'm right.

They have to slowly adapt. From living in a city to living in the wild. They can't go from one to the other. It is nearly impossible.
They don't just spring back instincts and turn wild. They cannot and will not. It is impossible. They must adapt. They can only slowly adapt to wild lives.
So it is possible?

And how many generations have those cats lived there? If you take the cat that lives in your house and stick it outside your house. It will either die or get picked up by other humans.
As for the horses. Horses brought over were not all domesticated. Many were introduced to the areas, just like the rabbits.
Besides, horses are different than cats or pigs. Cats are mostly carnivores. And a domestics cats don't hunt for their food. So they won't know what is food. Pigs eat all types of things. So they will need to do more than graze all day. Horses have very few predators. They can survive on plants. Plus they are big enough to not get hit by cars and they are also not hunted. So they have a much better chance.

Cats are extraordinarily good predators. Of any domesticated animal I'd put my money on a cat to survive in the wild if dropped in bumfuck nowhere. Those cats that have lived there for generations all started out as ordinary house cats and their poulations are constantly increased by strays.
As for the horses. Horses brought over were not all domesticated. Many were introduced to the areas, just like the rabbits.
I see, and you're basing this information on? It's not that I don't believe you, just that I tend to have less trouble if you base it on something.

You have no idea, and I'll take my own advice and stop arguing.
One final attempt. Read this link (http://rubens.anu.edu.au/student.projects/rabbits/wildanim.html)
and it discusses the different types of feral animal and how they came about in Australia. According to that, rabbits, foxes and deer were intentionally released for hunting reasons but that's it.

Noddy, seriously, how can you be going on with out severly lacking intelligence, or taking the piss, dude,... fuck... man dude... you really that stupid?
Numerous links proving you wrong have been posted. You have provided nothing to back up your argument, and the fact that you cant get anything, doesnt make you realise you are wrong!
alot of your argument, if it can be called one doesnt make sense. your argument of, they cant go from domesticated to wild, it takes time. Well thats saying they can go wild.
Let me ask you this, at national parks here, they forbid people from brining in cats and dogs, because they might escape and go wild, living in the bush, preying on native wild life. why would they care if people released them, and have all this information about why not to release these animals into the wild because of damange to eco systems, if the animals didnt pose a threat?
Cats are highly adaptive, once released into the wild it takes only several generations until they are smaller, generally dark colours, better suited to the bush.
Why are you arguing with us, when we live in a country with alot more bush, wildlife, and undeveloped area's than yours? that gives us an advantage in this debate. Also what do you think there's a conspiracy to make people like all us aussies think that domesticated animals wont drop dead second they are out of sight of a human as u think?
Every hear of zoos getting baby lions and so on? They cannot just let them back into the wild because they would just die.
zoos actually release animals back into the wild all the time. they have breeding programs to help endangered species.
Domesticated pigs cannot survive in the wild, wild animals can barely survive in the wild.
actually wild animals survive well in the wild. Except when there's human interferance, or the enterance of a new predator like a released foreign animals.
With human interference, stick them out in the middle of a forest they won't last long.
yet they do
He dick head, those cats live in cities. They don't live in the middle of no where. There are no domesticated type cats out in the the forests or jungles living there.
Feral cats did not go straight from domesticated to wild, plus they are not completely wild. They still depend on humans and their waste.
and you claim to never be wrong
i like many people here have probably seen feral cats in the bush, in national parks. Its a major problem here to aussie wildlife, so most aussies are aware of the issues.
Horses were put in Australia wild, the same as I said with your rabbits.
so stupid, why would they release horses wild?
australias very big, they were used for transportation. Same with the camels in the desert. they were released or escaped.
Ya so? What is your point. You cannot take the cat you have in your house,. stick in the forest and expect it to last very long. They have to slowly adapt. From living in a city to living in the wild. They can't go from one to the other. It is nearly impossible.
wrong, sure some die, but alot dont, that are natural predators
Plus they are the offspring of domesticated cats. Meaning they are not domesticated.
i think you fail to realise what constitues a domesticated species and what is involved. If my dog has a puppy, it is still a domesticated species even if the dog has the puppy in the back yard and it has had no contact with me until i go and pick it up.
so is your argument, that these animals get in the wild, because when the domesticated animals go out there, they fuck, and have babies really quickly, then die and the babies are the ones that survive?
You are one ignorant bastard.
Domestic animals CANNOT survived in the wild. Case closed.
we've provided evidence this is false
prove us wrong?
oh what you cant?
you cant admit you're wrong?
you seriously have major issues man
The cat does not realise it is food.
one of the dumbest things you've ever said.
The fact remains that domesticated animals cannot be put back into the wild.
then explain why there are domesticated animal species in the wild? away from humans?
this is typical of how big a douch you are, even when everyone disagrees with you, not even ya little yankie buddies who sometimes back you up. there is evidence proving you wrong, you cant produce any evidence to support you're stupid claims. Its obvious you ahve zero knowledge on the issue, so dont just make up shit. Here's the chance, the day where you can admit you're wrong, and you can one day look back and go, that was the day i became a better person, i grew up, i got past my stupid childish arrogance.

There are problems releasing domestic animals into the wild. The main problem is that the animal instinct is almost completely bred out. Like Nodbugger is saying if a cat kills a mouse and is domesticated, it doesn't know that it should eat it, and it might not even be able to. As they grow up on processed food their digestive systems change. Just like we can no longer just go eat raw meat off a bone, I wouldn't be surprised if a domestic cat got sick eating a mouse.
In a real world example I have a German Short Hair Pointer. When its out in the yard sometimes it catches a rabbit or a bird. If it does catch them it kills them but then just lays down next to it. She doesn't eat them because she doesn't know to. From the time she was born to present day she has drank milk and water and eaten little hard pellets. This is exactly the reason they have to have rehabilitation programs in zoos when they release an animal into the wild. They have to make sure the animal knows what to do, they have to make sure it can hunt and track and defend itself.
Without the essential skills and instincts which may have been dulled or completely lost in the domestication process, domestic animals have a slim if any chance of surviving very long in the wild.

the fact that it can kill the animals shows that it still as its instincts. Just because it doesnt eat it, or noticable amount when its living with a family, well looked after, fed, does not mean when its in the wild, it wont kill an animal and eat it when its starving with no one putting out a bowl of my dog. Ever heard about animals reverting to their wild behaviour? its a common thing when they are not looked after.
some animals wont, i doubt my dog being a spoiled little dog would, but alot would, especially the larger dogs. Dogs are different than say cats, cats are less trained. But these animals do survive in large enough amounts in the wild to cause serious damage to the eco system.

sure snakes might bite cats here and there, but no snakes large enough to eat cats, so why would they bother attacking them? snakes attack when defending themselves, or to eat. snakes eat small mammals, rodents. not cats. Maybe in some copntrys with big snakes they do, not here.

If the domesticated animals become wild over time, and domesticated animals *CANNOT* survive in the wild (according to Noddy) then how do the first generation of domestic animals survive for long enough to breed? In order to do so they would have to find somewhere safe to give birth and suckle their young. According to you if the stay still for any length of time a snake will eat them.
As far as Crocodiles, that is mainly in the sparsely populated areas of northern Australia. The Crocodile Hunter? Title? You do realise that he called himself this. Australia does not have a designated Crocodile Hunter to keep us safe from the crocs!
There is a distinct difference between a *feral* animal and a *wild* animal. A feral animal is one that was a pet/farm animal but which now lives wild. A wild animal is one which is born wild.

Your house cat is released. It stays in your neighbor hood because that is what it knows. It finds another cat and has babies. Now you have a bunch more cats. They are still in a city or urban area that they feel safe in. The populations increase over time and the cats slowly become less domesticated as more and more babies are created. As more are created they are forced to migrate to other areas and slowly learn new things.

Wrong.
You shoud live in Western Australia. Its that place thats almost 3 times bigger than Texas without the population. Many "domesticated" cats have turned stray then feral. The country areas have many feral cats that live completely in the bush *away* from towns and settlements. I travel to many remote mine sites and have seen them.
In fact just 2 weeks ago I flew to a town called Kalgoorlie (gold mining town, large, one hour flight from Perth). I then drove 4 hours north east to a nickel mine at Mount Keith. Who would have thought - saw me some feral cats on the side of the road checking out the road kill (kangaroos). Nearest town - over 100 kilometres.

No it is not wrong, those domestic cats that turned feral were probably in a group or they formed a group. They were taught so they learned quicker.
If you took two domesticated cats, put them on an island with no other species of cat. They would die.

people ditch unwanted pets in the bush, not realising the bad affect itll have on the native animals.
If you took two domesticated cats, put them on an island with no other species of cat. They would die.
cats are not pack animals like dogs noddy.
As long as there are species of animals the cats can catch and eat, no major predators, there's a high chance they will be fine and have a normal life span. Probably Have sex and put more cats on the island.
the point is, i could go take a neighbors cat, drive out into a national park, drop it off, and chances are it survive. there are plenty of small mamals around here in aus. Devoid of large predators and an abundence of what they van eat, itll be fine. you've failed to grasp the issues here.
The reason there's thriving feral cats in aus, is because of the amounts of small bird and mamals, in the cities and out of the citys.
why are you even arguing with this? Sources proving you wrong have been posted, you've supplied nothing to back up your claim, so shut the fuck up about it.
but if domestic cats cant survive, then how come there's heaps of feral cats in australia forests and bushland and whatever away from people?
