Ok As for myself, I eat everything except for cats, dogs and their family in the wild. I have eaten rabbit, elephant, crocodile, snake, hedgehog, porcupine, mole, tortoise, hippopotamus, and every conceivable antelope even Zebra, which is no other than a striped donkey. Generally, if it eats grass, I will eat it. I am a bit more fussy with predators, crocodile was ok; very much like pork. From the sea I eat most except for dolphin which I refuse to eat on ground of their intelligence and good will to man.
Dogs that bite once more than often bite again. Both Cape Town and Johannesburg municipalities and many others have by-laws to do away with any dog biting a human. The owner has no say in it.
I live in Africa. These lions here are majestic animals but monsters and do become man eaters; esp when older. They have to be hunted and killed for they will hunt nothing else but humans.
The scenario re the toxic waste that you painted is gross negligence and/or recklessness and should be punished according to the law, however the intent here was not to kill.
This is not living in the past, it is an ongoing thing. Based on hospital records, it is estimated that about 58 people are ,murdered each day in South Africa. Interpol corroborates this. If it was something of the past it would be easy to move on but we live with it every day while our government hides the true facts to look effective.
CC, that is my only concern. The poor guy who is not guilty. If the state cannot proof beyond all doubt that he is guilty of murder he should go free. Beyond reasonable doubt is a load of nonsense that can send innocent people to jail.
When last I heard our jails were about 130% overloaded. That is about 2.6 prisoners per cell meant for 2. Now you report 20 in such a cell. I can understand why criminal get back on the street so quick. There is not place for them all in our jails.
Ah, you see, what happened here is competent police officers and detectives were forced into early retirement to make place for political appointments to incompetent people, thus leaving us with an ineffective police force.
If a unit is to effective in fighting corruption the unit is disbanded and the members are discredited as incompetent.
With regards to your last sentence, murders have doubled since the moratorium and subsequent abolishment of the death penalty in South Africa.
Ok, one solution but who pays for that while mister sits in comfort, playing pool and watching TV all day in a country with a population in excess of thirty million and only 5 million registered tax payers - already taxed to death - and half the population living in cardboard and tin shacks.
I have come to realize a long time ago that you may be involved in law enforcement somehow. No problem with your statement. That is but the law states, but you know as well as I do that that is not what happens.
Law and order in this country has collapsed. It is common knowledge that the crime figures release by government is doctored to make it look acceptable. It does not tally with hospital records nor with that of internal affairs. Even Interpol states it openly that the figures are grossly under reported.
Ok, also noted. What do you suggest we do with the murderer to prevent him from doing the same to another.
When a dog bites once he will bite again, and once a lion had tasted human flesh he becomes a man eater. Humans are the same. Killing becomes easy once you have done it before.
Ok Glat, your opinion is noted but what about the poor victim? Did you have a parent or a sibling murdered?
In 2000 my brother was murdered, my mother suffered a stroke when she got the news and died a few weeks later. I wonder if you would be so lenient if it touched your family.
Yes Alex. It is the intent that matter to me as well. If a fella intended to kill he should pay the price. Accidental killers, due to negligence and/or recklessness, can be realigned and returned society. Their intent was not to kill and have probably learned their lesson during the incident.
It does not really bother me but I have often wondered. It could be that some people don't know how to rotate a pic. I have also wondered if it is not a sort of a secret handshake for a certain group to be identified by. You know, something like gays or free masons or whatever.
I don't know if there is such an object but I'm not sure that there is not such an object. And for all I know, you could be working for NASA.
You see, this is the beauty of all these conspiracy theories. They are all based on a bunch of 'unrelated' events and conspiracy theories are considered to be true until proved otherwise.
And what is more difficult to prove or disprove than something that does not exit.
But all jokes set aside; many a villain had been found guilty beyond reasonable doubt on such 'unrelated' circumstantial evidence.

Do you eat meat?
Thank you very much to each of you who took the time to comment. It was enlightening.And Shane, you're right. White meat & fish resorts under vegetables.
