   The stupid comments left on Youtube are equally amazing. Apparently wolves should go to the grocery store to buy food instead of attacking defenceless moose.

     I don’t read Youtube comments for videos like these.

     I like keeping my blood pressure under control.

     I console myself with the belief that most of those people are probably under 16.

     After watching a clip of Jay Leno’s “Jay Walking” feature (http://www.iviewtube.com/v/65379/jay-leno-in-jaywalking-%28very-funny%29), I have no trouble believing someone would say that. I am stunned at how uninformed and dense a large portion of the American public is. (No wonder the corps are taking over.) Example; Ques: “How many stars does that (US) flag over there have?” Ans: “I don’t know its moving around too much for me to count them.” Badda-bump!

   sadly, the comments also indicate an extensive lack of understanding or empathy with predators, for which Disney has at least some blame. What I found interesting in the video was some of the striking similarities in how dogs manage cattle in cattle work (the nah nah nah, you can’t catch me method of wearing out an animal until it is too tired to argue with the dog is one I’ve seen with several stockdogs on a variety of livestock as is the “nip and jump back” routine.)

     Yep, I call it the “Bambi Complex”.
