It takes a sick mind to film something like that & not just go shoot the both animals. Whether you filmed it or just posted the sick minded film on here it all boils down to a very sick,offensive video.Don't mess up the Farm & Rural life thread with that kind of crap.!!! Post it on the humor or entertainment threads,i don't look at those. I suppose that cock fights are fine to watch too ?? maybe dog fights too ?

Cock fights are setup by humans - this was all natural, and no human intervened. I found it interesting.

I had a possum here once that spun in circles for over 4 hours. Then I found it laying in a heap - grabbed my shovel because I thought it was dead. Turns out he was just playin possum ...

Was gonna grab the .22 and put it out of it's misery, but I just placed it on a rock out back. Hours later, he was gone.

The next day I saw it ambling through the backyard in a semi-straight line. Figured he was better. I was glad I didn't dispatch him. 2 days after that, he was squashed in the middle of the road here. Oh well ...

Name of the song is "Round and Round" ... LOL!

The fact is that one or both of those animals are sick,they both should have been shot & put out of their miseries. This stupid video was made with no thought of what animal will get bitten next,maybe your pet OR maybe even your CHILD. Any person with rural life common sense would have done the right & proper thing. Neither animal was acting normal,rabies is a very real possibility,rabies is no laughing matter. Spending 40+ yrs on a dairy farm, I got to see various rabid animals that we had to dispose of, including some nice dogs that unfortunately were exposed. It is not natural for skunks & possum to fight & it is also not normal for humans to derive pleasure from watching two animals fighting like that.

What da Wow!

I haven't seen any critters out of there holes since October... Nature is fang, tooth, and claw... Hunting and trapping much more humane. That is real.
