Injecting Hydrogen Peroxide into tick full of blood - General

[QUOTE=obdob;40923056]why is everyone missing the point so badly? it's not the fact they killed a tick, ticks are pests and need to be gotten rid of for health reasons. it's the fact they killed it for the fun of killing it, which is unnecessary and something that emotionally undeveloped kids do. if they had an actual infestation they wouldn't try to get rid of them by individually injecting them with chemicals...[/QUOTE] PETA came quick. Yes, ticks ARE pests and need to be eliminated. No problem with using a slightly different method to do so. Plus, it doubles as an interesting chemical reaction.

[QUOTE=Water-Marine;40923197]PETA came quick. [/QUOTE] what are you on about and i've said 3 times already, injecting ticks with chemicals is not a practical way of eliminating infestations and they've obviously doing just for fun and laughs

However I would like to compare these scenarios: 1.)Slowly choking to death, wrapped inside a film of liquid made for the sole purpose of being cheap and effective. You then remain in this state as long as you can endure, which in the single-minded brain of a tick, is as long as your organs can survive before being crystallized. Bonus points if other ticks are in the area. You either get to see them run off and leave you for dead, or kill themselves trying to chew the poison off you. 2.)You are being tugged away from your food. You try as hard as you can to stay attached to your food, but your head ends up being severed and you spend your last moments feeling more pain than the mind can physically comprehend. 3.)You are cleanly removed from your food and there is nothing you can do about it. You then get dropped into highly concentrated isopropyl alcohol, where you will flitter around simultaneously drowning and melting. (To really drive this home, you would probably be dropped head-first. Imagine your eyes, nose, mouth and ears were all instantly filled with acid) 4.)You are exploded using H2O2. Though it hurts for a moment, you can barely register the explosion before you cease to exist.

This is nothing to do with "tick welfare" or whatever dumb strawmen people keep using here. I'm talking about the people not the tick. An action figure has no feelings, but it still says something about someone if they pretend to torture and kill it while laughing. And that mindset can, and usually does, extend to things that do have some sort of feelings

I'm pretty sure a tick doesn't have a nervous system capable of feeling pain in the way we know it. [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=obdob;40923615]I know the tick is not suffering at all.

[QUOTE=obdob;40923519]what are you on about[/QUOTE] You seem to think that a pest that lives and breathes to spread disease deserves ethical treatment. You think pesticides are ethical as well?

"Psychotic" kids laugh as they put cats in microwaves. It's normal for kids to not care about the rights (for lack of a better term) of insects because most adults still don't. Look at this thread, for instance. But the minute a child starts torturing things it was always taught to never harm, that's when you should be concerned.

good thing I live in Florida where ticks are basically nonexistent :v:

[QUOTE=Water-Marine;40923674]You seem to think that a pest that lives and breathes to spread disease deserves ethical treatment. [/QUOTE] I said over and over again that it's nothing to do with the tick suffering. Otherwise i'd be moaning about bug spray and repellent to. Which i'm not.

[QUOTE=obdob;40923781]I said over and over again that it's nothing to do with the tick suffering. Otherwise i'd be moaning about bug spray and repellent to.

Ticks spread disease and eat a bit of you, they are awful creatures who cause deadly diseases to thousands. They deserve a great injection of H202

Look at these fools white knighting ticks Thefuck is wrong with you people? How about you go live in a house FULL of ticks since you are such super best friends forever with them

are you lot retarded? it's got nothing to do with the tick, just the sadistic vibes in the video

Here we go. One time when I was a wee lad (9? maybe 10) My grandparents porch was [B]infested[/B] with earwigs. [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CbTWCQAjrh8/TS_KwIcoNDI/AAAAAAAAACU/F6LrnExvqAo/s1600/earwig.jpg[/img] Look at these things. Anyways, this infestation was fuckin' whack. Walking up the stairs caused the guardrails to shake as it was loose. This released about 30 earwigs at a time from hiding. We actually had to burn the old dog house because it was so infested. Now I dunno if you guys know how to kill these little shitheads but soap and warm water usually does the trick if you don't have the proper pesticide spray. So me and my cousin did what [I]any[/I] children would do in this situation, we grabbed our Super Soakers and filled them up with the deadly water+soap mixture and unleashed hell on this colony for the remainder of the afternoon. The Earwigs were mostly taken care of by morning and guess what. guess what. I had fun blasting these fuckers with my Super Soaker, guess that makes me sadistic

Completely different. Honestly it feels like you're the dumb one here.

There must be something evolutionary about the way ticks only evoke utmost revulsion in pretty much everyone. Their shape, their tiny ugly legs, their disgustingly bloated form, their touch as one finds them embedded in their skin, every detail evokes the most instinctual disgust possible

She so happened to laugh. I'll admit it was kind of funny. That in no way indicates the psychological state of any human being

It's like people are sympathising with the HIV virus or something..

Tics don't even have a "brain" in a sense. They are programmed to just go upwards on an animal and suck it's blood, allowing it to multiply.

truth is i enjoy killing ticks too i must be a psychopath i enjoyed this video because i thought it was funny for it to blow up like that
