Do i have the power to end a thread? ^^

a. I hope she was a consenting adult.


b. You may do as you wish for all of me, Sir Dog. However, I may likewise and handy dandy use your words as a springboard for speculation and quiz you as to the validity of said flights of thought.


Orcas are way cool...but I wish they didn't play with their prey.

Playing and killing go together. Cats, dogs, ferrets, orcas, dolphins...

The big baleen whales might be stately, and they do like to breach, but I do not that I would call them playful any more than I would call a cow playful.






Horses may be an exception, but horses are also insane...

She was five. And it was very chaste, however fishy the smell.




Didn't know I'd been knighted. If I was a lord would my opinions be unassailable by thee?

Why do you say horses are insane?

And, children, play away...but don't play with your prey!

Re play, do you mean in adults?

As far as I can tell, all baby mammals play.

Well...maybe not baby molerats?

Good grief no!


Oh, and I swear I have seen young adult baleen whales play!

Cows can be very playful. You need to spend more time on a dairy farm.
Heifers love to get a dungareed human between them and a fence wherein they teach the smart smart human the dung part of dungaree.

Joe(whoa)Nation

And cows and sheep are intensely curious...

from the cow appreciation day thread




Nothing like some good short ribs.

Nonetheless, I maintain that prolonged play periods (into dotage, even) is far more a trait of the hunter than the hunted. I've seen frisky cows, sure, but they've got nothing on a frisky ferret...




So there!

So where, exactly?


This thing you have re ferrets is beginning to disturb me.


Anyhoo, they are hyperactive...what you think of as play may be the result of sufficient random motion for you, with your pattern making brain, to interpret as play.

Like the monkeys and the typewriters and Shakespeare.

And ferrets.

What's all this about ferrets, then?

You can get clothes for them, you know. http://www.ferretstore.com/ferret-clothing.html

Could be. Could also be that I'm right. After all, the concept of "play" is a human construct. And I'll construct it how I please, thankee.

So here.

....weasels in woollen sausage casings. merry xmas!...
