Amy Was Mean to the Lizards?????
Eden | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:13 am     Amy said from the beginning that she HATED the lizards! If BB wanted these "pets" to be fondled and lovingly cared for, perhaps Lizards weren't the best choice. Lots of people don't find Lizards or reptiles of any kind the least bit lovable. BB should put a fish tank in the house. I think BB is more responsible for the lizards treatment than the lizards themselves. Not a great choice. |
Wendo | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:22 am     Truly, I realize people kill spiders. I've killed some myself in my home. But, for me, it just seemed childish to be out in the yard burning the bugs with a magnifying glass.. She expressed such delight about it that bothered me. As I said, I like Amy. I do. But, that incident bothered me. Personally, it's not something I would do, nor find enjoyable. Oh well. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. |
Seamonkey | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:27 am     Amy and Josh killed ants. Danielle sprayed a dragonfly with a fire extinguisher and killed it. Marcellas killed spiders. Gerry killed ants. The lizards killed and ate many crickets and, it seems, some baby mice. Hunting doves in season (licensed, etc.) and eating them may not appeal to you (and it certainly wouldn't appeal to me), but none of these things make the people axe murders, IMO. == Lisa also came up with the story that Amy exposed herself to the cameras although Lisa was three rooms away. Just because Lisa says something is so, doesn't make it so. ++ stumbling back to bed.. woken up by some neighborhood teenaged lizards.. er humans.. |
Maryann | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:53 am     When you say animals...do you mean ALL God's creatures? I mean, technically, is an insect an animal in your opinion? To me, they are all one in the same. A big ole Black Widow Spider is still a living breathing God created creature. BUT...let me find one in my house and the thing would be toast in under 30 seconds. ==== I remember last year when Will blew his own cover as a nasty guy...he wouldn't allow Nicole to kill the spider, it happened quickly and after that I knew that he was a sweetie! I don't kill spiders,they work so hard making their little homes, also they entrap other insects. As for the lizards,Amy should remember when she's cruel to them that God is watching. |
Tobor7 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:57 am     I had to give "props" to Will last year for stopping Shannon from killing the spider on the window. Some people just take too much delight when they kill stuff they don't have to. |
Trulyscrumtious | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:08 am     Ummmm...Maryann...? I'm gonna give ya the benefit of the doubt here, but it sounds like you are saying (in a round-about sorta way, lol), that he woulda been 'nasty' had he allowed her to kill the spider, ergo; I am nasty for killing spiders. Ummm...yeah...benefit of the doubt, lol. Seriously though, I have exactly 0 guilt over killing them. And hang on to yer socks insect lovers of the world, lol, I also have a mosquito zapper in my yard. All night long we listen to those evil little bloodsuckers get zapped into oblivion, lol. Again, zero guilt. Summer-time always brings ants GALORE into my porch, so I've set up ant traps all over there. I have Raid and will spray anything that comes within a inch of my body, lol. I really could care less. I bet ya dollars to donuts that if I went sauntering into one of THEIR ant colonys and invited over 1000 of my closest friends to go hang around THEIR garbage they'd be calling on the fire ants to do me some serious damage. Yep, zero guilt. It's the lay of the land. Imagine walking into a grizzly inhabited forest...OMG...we'd be dead by dawn, lol. I really don't think God will punish anyone for killing insects, and if he does...Well...than...I guess I'm just screwed, lol. |
Ddr1135 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:38 am     Just a question here, wasn't it Jason and Amy outside with the magnifying glass killing ants? |
Fruitbat | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:12 am     I am against animals in the house too. If they insist, certainly take them out at the first sign of abuse or neglect. |
Gidget | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 06:57 am     Add me to the no pets in the house camp. But I wonder if they chose reptiles because furry = allergic for a lot of people. |
Dlkuhn4 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 07:07 am     Don't really care for reptiles myself I would have to say let someone else take care of them. About the doves I live 15 minutes outside Memphis and it is a very BIG thing here in Tn. I have never hunted but alot people here hunt doves and they say the meat is very good. So it is very normal to hear them talking about hunting Doves. Oh and I love Lobster!!!!! Just cost to much. |
Dixiebelle31 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:36 am     I cannot believe this thread. It makes me angrier than Amy squirting the lizards. Yeah maybe she shouldn't have been so harsh with them but I bet if she thought she were hurting them she wouldn't keep doing it. But come on people, has BB gotten so boring with just Dani and Lisa that you have to find something, anything, to bash Amy about? Cripes. And you are upset because she burned an ANT?? How many of you have ever been bitten by a fire ant? It isn't a nice bite. I have burned a great number of ant mounds and don't feel the least bit sorry. And dove hunting? They are going out in season and eating what they shoot. Dove hunting is a big thing around here too. And it is funny. My neighbor dove hunts but if he finds an injured dove around the neighborhood he nurses it. I don't see anyone complaining about the deer or quail hunters. How about people who fish and eat their catch? Good God, why catch and kill a fish and eat it when you can buy it at the store. Urgh, ok, this thread just got my dander up. I'm done.  |
Bbholden | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:40 am     JMO, but if this were a "pro Amy" thread it would have been gone outside after the first four posts. lol |
Bohawkins | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:41 am     Earlier on our program, Scorpiomoon broadcast into the ether: Doves are considered "threatened or endangered" (depending on the state). The dove isn't in any danger of becoming "endangered." The mourning dove, Zenaidura macroura, is one of the most abundant and popular game birds in the U.S. It is hunted in over 30 states, and is the source of enjoyment, nationwide, for countless birders. While not "endangered," in states where it is not hunted, the mourning dove is protected as a songbird. I personally like doves, and don't even like to think of them being hunted, if for no other reason than, they mate for live and the mated couples come back to the same nest year after year. I had a pair outside my house, and cats from various neighbors used to threaten them constantly. My neighbor from across the street is also a dove lover (he had a pair too). One day he told me that someone ought to trap those cats, and take them way out in the country about fifty miles. I thought he was kidding, but one day, I noticed that the cats were gone. Flyers appeared on telephone poles for a while, but I never said anything. Later, they all evidently got new cats, but I don't see them out as much. My same doves were back this year as well, still healthy. |
Maris | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:43 am     Lol Bb, did you notice that Amy's face was X'ed out by the very next morning. Jasons took a couple of days - so did Gerry's. ROFL. could there be bias in boardland?????????? Those Lizards came out on top I guess since they werent evicted and Amy is gone from the house. |
Bcandscott | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:49 am     Well, folks....you have to "squirt the lizards". That's how they get water. The ONLY thing I saw Amy do that was MEAN to the lizards was she talked mean to the one who pooped on her. While this may seem heartless and cruel to some, I guarantee you, that lizard had NO CLUE that Amy was saying she hated it. Don't get me wrong. I HAVE one of those lizards and adore my little Sam, but I am realistic about his ability to understand what is said to him. He is a reptile. He is not huge in the brain pan area. |
Itsallgood | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:54 am     If I remember correctly, Amy is the only girl that actually held those lizards besides the guys. Didn't she said one "Pooped" on her. That was why she didn't care for them too much. I'm sure you will let me know if any of the other girls held them. |
Bigbrotherbelle | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 10:27 am     "Yes the dove is the bird of peace. I always enjoy seeing them in our trees. Did y'all know that they mate for life? So while Amy and her family is out killing innocent birds ( who really arent good for eating because they have very little meat on them )she's also destroying something very rare and precious in nature. " Yes, and did you know around here a favorite thing to hunt is deer? *Sob* They kill Bambi and use it for food for months *Sob*. |
Dixiebelle31 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 11:14 am     Did you know that Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national (US) bird? Can you imagine? No more turkey hunts and turkey for Thanksgiving. We would be eating the bald eagle. |
Yellek | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 11:54 am     Well, I'm not happy about hunting any animal. And before you throw the "meat from a store" argument at me, I don't eat meat. That said, I'm fully aware that most don't feel the way I do, and I wouldn't dream of telling others not to hunt anymore. But, I wouldn't mind in the least if they did stop. |
Auntie | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 12:21 pm     Amy was also horribly cruel to every morsel she placed in her mouth. And she brushed her teeth, resulting in the death of plaque! And she showered & washed her face & hands, resulting in the death of countless bacteria. Oh, my god, the horror, the horror. |
Bbholden | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 02:06 pm     ROFL@Auntie Belle, doves are delicious, stuffed and served with wild rice and chestnuts soaked in brandy. Now don't start that Bambi nonsense because Bambi is a tasty morsel also. I'd enjoy Bambi over an open spit with his little carcass all dripping juice and just sooooo yummy... and yes, I'd think nothing of putting little Lamb Chop between a slice of pita bread. I personally can't understand how anyone could drink milk.. especially with all those little lost faces looking at you on the side of the carton... but then I'm tender hearted like that.. lol |
Dixiebelle31 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:49 pm     Ya made me giggle, Bbholden.  |
Sabbatia | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 08:24 pm     At this point, I hate to admit that I have a gallon baggie in my freezer filled with Dove right now. I'm in the south. The hubby Dove hunts. I've heard it is pretty good, but I just can't bring myself to eat it.....especially since I don't like dark meat. I have eaten quail though. It is white meat and was very tasty, except when I got a bite that had buck shot in it. I'm a lover of most living things. We caught a tiny little mouse on one of those sticky traps at work and I was in tears over it squirming to get away. Someone else has to kill a bug for me cause I just can't. BUT, I just can't get into reptiles. I wouldn't take care of them, and I wouldn't touch them. While I don't advocate being intentionally mean to them, you wouldn't catch me squirting them with water...in the eyes or otherwise. |
