wow you took that out of context! Star didn't mean literally earth worshiping...a general term used for tree huggers, predatory animal rights activists etc....who want to believe these wild predators are a warm, gentle, fuzzy, cuddly, people friendly animal if just given the chance!! These people do not want to hear about the true predatory nature in which these animal survive by killing. They do not kill "neatly" as you and some others want to believe...reality is reality

Your view of chucking virgins into a volcano to appease the earth gods, is a far cry to what this thread's discussions are about... reality.

It was a small dog, and it survived with a few stitches to bark the story
I assume they changed his name to Lucky!

Just take a few seconds and scan the labels on the crap available at the market...
I've often wondered about this. Throw a piece of pork on a fire and my mouth will be watering within seconds. The other day I burned my finger on my soldering iron and the smell was absolutely horrendous!

You are correct. Also, according to the ADN article she had been in the village for a short period of time, and may not have been aware of the wolf situation around the village.

LOL That's quite funny.

But I am certain that the little dog din't think it was funny. According the the news article, the poor thing was in shock and would not stop shaking.
