I missed the miracle of birth thread but that can be some pretty messy stuff all right.
What I don't get is how we can be so slanted, like everyone is like Ohh noo animal abuse leads to people abuse yet we um support these pig farmers do we not?? Purchase pet foods?? Then get offended by pictures like this? Anyway its all very silly. And as we know dogs are simply happy little carnivores that like rolling on dead stuff. :P

A hare possibly
I think it is a Hare, not a rabbit (there is a difference)
Around here (slightly farther North perhaps) we do have some reallly big northern hares... we affectionatly refer to them as "jack rabbits".. quite large and certainly could be what donated those ears to the 'photo op'. I doubt it was a deer...white tail are pretty big animals (250lbs or more easily) and those ears would be much, much larger than the ones in the pic...

First, let me express that I did NOT post this to stir the pot, or ruffle any feathers (pun is intended
 )But, I'm sure that if I searched the forums, and took the time to bother.....I'd find pics and descriptions of feeding dogs tasty, smoked pig ears, hooves of calves, and of course the most beloved.... 'rawhide chew' to keep that pesky puppy from eating your LEATHER shoes! I mean really people, can we say it together??? hypocrites! You're all entitled to your opinions, and I personally would fight to the death for your right to it, but, I do not have to share it with you. Happy Easter

Dogs are dogs.....we can't watch them 24/7 and make sure they don't drag home a snack, specially country dogs who get run of the land!!

Ok guys,I believe some of the somewhat sarcastic comments were directed at me.
The point is,just because something is"natural" to some,does not mean I find a picture of it appealing or funny,any more than I would find a picture of roadkill amusing. Yes,I eat meat,however I would not enjoy seeing a pig beeing slaughtered,probably would make me a vegetarian,or any animal beeing torn apart by another,be it a dog,cat, lion or a human. If that makes me a hypocrite in some peoples eyes,that's fine with me. This picture does not offend me,but I find it sad...:sad:

chico2 I do also find the picture sad as well as gross. The amusement for some I think is how the dog looks so proud and inocent with the ears. I also eat meat on and off so do not feel I have any right to be upset by this unless I am going to get upset every time I do, (why is it easier to see an animal ground into a hamburger is my quest.??). I'm also calling myself a hipocrite in what I consider a truthful way. It seems like people have so many double standards when it comes to cruelty so I wondered if some here even made the connection between the cruelty they support and thier reaction to the picture. I hope my comments didn't come off as offensive, I was honestly hoping in good fun that we could all "hold hands" saying hipocrites.
 (I wasn't directing comments at anyone specifically btw, I can't usually remember who said what by the time I post something.:P) I'm sure this is also much more difficult for those that have had bunnies, so i'm sorry for that.:sad:

I have bunnies, yet i feed my dogs whole bunnies as well....( not the ones that i have obviously)
Its not hard. there is a line between sick and cruel and normal and natural. And its not even a thin one. Sometimes we as caring pet/animal lovers have to take a look at the big picture. If the ears in the picture are indeed fawn ears, thats no different than if they were moose ears ( not such a pretty animal) or donkey ears. The fact is, those ears at one time were on a living creature. NOW. As long as the animal who at one time had those ears wasnt treated poorly and didnt experience a long painful death I am alright with the picture. I have seen the slaughter of animals ( Guys parents cows) and imagine this Ihave been there and helped the cutting. As well as the moose and deer during hunting season. In reality I need to eat as well. I choose to eat meat, so I accept what is done in order to eat the meat. the reason I with good concience can be there for these "gruesome" ordeals is that I know first hand those animals lived their lives well cared for and happily roaming in the fields doing what cows, deer and moose do.

Erykah,I understand where you are coming from and although I could never take part in cutting a deer,or any animal up,I understand what you mean.
Whether these were bunny ears,deer or moose ears,it does not really matter,what I was trying to say,I do not find it funny.. I am sure while you are cutting up a deer and see those dead eyes,you are not laughing or taking pictures. As for the miracle of life,childbirth is not gross and I have no problems watching it,can hardly be compared to the killing of an animal.

what is gross to some is natural to others, and vice-versa

okay, my
 .It's almost like this has become a war (if you will) between "pet" lovers and "animal" lovers. Many here (myself included) love ALL animals, not just the ones labelled "pets". And although this is "natural" dog behavior, it's tasteless in my opinion. That being said, it's natural for some dogs to kill cats, so would that be an appropiate picture to post? I have also seen dogs bring down a young cow ripping it's stomach wide open while it was still alive......natural yes...... would I be proud to post pictures, or even take pictures, I think not. It's also natural for animals to breed continously and have hundreds of offingspring , but most here alter their pets. As for the birth picture, I think the OP was only trying to deter people from breeding. I think we should try and be more respectfull, because although this may be "pets.ca" many love all animals, and many are alsoe vegetarian or vegan so I wouldn't consider them hypocrites. And posts like this would be very offensive to them.
