Wow, apparently Mind_Virus is a colossal douche. Keep fighting the good fight, OP_k_w.

[–]RedDaggerx 4 points5 points ago

Obviously. I can't imagine a kind, polite attention whore where you get nothing except various number going up.

I can imagine them:

omgomg im gonna get 1m link karma!! Yay at leasy im populor on the internt!

[–]blucheez 0 points1 point ago

karmadecay is a kind of douche move.

I'm not saying you do, but anyone who hate's on reposts is an idiot. Not everyone has seen everything. Guess what, I missed all three of those other threads, and I'm seeing the picture for the first time. Repost's are awesome!

Karma whoring is a juvenile mindset to begin with, but caring about it makes you stoop to their level. If Internet points are worthless, who cares about whores? At least people like me get a second chance (in this case, fourth) at seeing something awesome. On the other hand, if you personally value karma, and feel cheated by the fact that someone unoriginal can collect mass amounts of it, then you might just be a jealous whore yourself.

In the data you provide, the post 5 months ago got 50% more karma than the original post 1 year ago. So, if not the OP, it's good someone else is reposting. Supply & Demand, and up votes show there is a demand, even if it's a karma whore reposting.

I understand that you're providing more information - relevant conversations probably happened in those threads, that people here might find interesting. That's great!

But your username is OP_karma_whores, so you're the first to throw a stone (name calling). It makes it a lot harder to believe that you were "merely providing more information," with a douchey username like that. Sounds like you got a vendetta against karma whores. Even if Mind_Virus threatened you, you're just as pathetic.

[–]You_Fucking_Idiots 36 points37 points ago

Good. That's proper education about reality.

[–]notacyborg 13 points14 points ago

I love watching those nature shows about lions. My favorite part is where sheep fling themselves off cliffs into a pride of them.

[–]elmer_fudds_vagina 1 point2 points ago

You just cant stop nature from being nature, especially when it comes to ungulate suicides.

[–]APOLLOsCHILD 3 points4 points ago

Right thats what i was thinking. It makes me wonder why we treat kids with such sensitivity like the bunny dosent get eaten in the end its ok. The big bad wolf just staves to death. I see no reason for it.

[–]Beatleboy62 1 point2 points ago

There's a reason why most people look fondly back at their childhood...

[–]zedlord 10 points11 points ago

I see nothing wrong with feeding a goat to lions, but tossing a goat from 20ft up into a pit of lions is pretty fucked up.

[–]fullmetalutes 1 point2 points ago

I second this...its the truth...they can see this on discovery channel

[–]bs11htab -1 points0 points ago

Third that

[–]Douchexmachina 4 points5 points ago

That's the most lions I've seen at any zoo, ever. That lion cage is about as densely populated as the rest of the country.

[–]herpderp_roar 1 point2 points ago

Most I've seen at zoos are about 3...there are SO many lions in that picture.

[–]Mrs13rown 10 points11 points ago

Kind of reminds me of Jurassic Park when they feed the goat to the T-Rex.

[–]Oluja 6 points7 points ago

What bothers me more is that they're throwing a single goat to 20+ lions which will probably proceed to tear each other apart.

[–]OMROKER -1 points0 points ago

My thoughts exactly..

[–]swordbuddha 10 points11 points ago*

"It's the Circle of LIIIIIIIIIIIIFE...."

[–]nickflow 6 points7 points ago

anyone else notice how skinny those lions were (check the bottom left you can see his rib cage) they should throw some of damn kids down and help those lions and proper control of over population hahahah JK! or am I?

[–]llamanuggets 2 points3 points ago

Well I have nothing against kids or anyone seeing that, but did they really have to throw the goat? Really?

[–]GetKenny 12 points13 points ago

"China feeds..." What, the whole of china acts as if it were one person? that's racist

[–]genghistom 4 points5 points ago

Technically it's nationalist. Now, if he had said "Chinaman", then that'd racist.

[–]LerithXanatos -1 points0 points ago

I'd be a little less offended if the OP, the douchebag, had titled it with Chinaman. Am I alone in thinking it's silly?

[–]0l01o1ol0 10 points11 points ago

"America shoots black teen for walking down street with hoodie on"

hmm...

[–]earth2037 2 points3 points ago

China this, China that...every time it's a Chinese the matter becomes "China blah blah blah", one person is equivalent to 1.3 billion people?

[–]Lynx77 2 points3 points ago

Most annoying repetition of OMGOMGOMG! in youtube video ever.

OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]jermzdeejd 1 point2 points ago

why isnt this a video

[–]DDubsBIV 7 points8 points ago

[–]BarbieDragon 1 point2 points ago

There are way too many lions in that small area.

[–]FGWL 1 point2 points ago

That's... incredibly cool o.o

[–]coming_up_milhouse 1 point2 points ago

Why no? Lions eat other animals. It is a fact of life.

[–]iDontEnjoyThis 2 points3 points ago

Because all of those lions look malnourished. Also the fact there are so many together. Lions are pack animals but that is more lions together than you would see in any zoo or in nature. China just added another reason for me to hate them from the bottom of my heart. The goat is not the bad part the goat's suffering will last a few seconds at most. The lions on the other hand will suffer for a much more living like that.

[–]coming_up_milhouse 0 points1 point ago

Fair enough. You make a good point. I just got the impression that dablupanda didn't like it because they were feeding the lions in front of children. I guess I didn't consider that he/she could have been upset for the reasons you pointed out.

[–]boogermanus 1 point2 points ago

At least they weren't feeding live Goats to a T-Rex while children watched...now that would have been something.

[–]Sgt_45Bravo 1 point2 points ago

How are people surprised by this? Lions eat other animals, this is the best way to give it to them. Plus they get to crunch on the bones, that's fun.

[–]FedexSentMeAHead 1 point2 points ago

Because China.

[–]GeoSzef 1 point2 points ago

I concur with this practice. Don't hide natural death/life behind a curtain.

[–]thisTAaccount 0 points1 point ago

we have a picture..but no video for this?

[–]revrend_ 0 points1 point ago

yep, he's fucked...just like my dreams.

[–]Noble69 0 points1 point ago

I'm fairly certain you're pretty much fucked if you fall in there...

[–]clt829 0 points1 point ago

This building has made my short list of possible zombie fortresses.

[–]Squeekme 0 points1 point ago

I wonder how so many male lions get along in the same pride?

[–]JMile69 0 points1 point ago

OH NO NATURE!

[–]Sara1983 0 points1 point ago

Always key to associate food with children peering over the ledge of a concrete wall

[–]scouragestar99 0 points1 point ago

I do wish it was pushed through a door first, so it doesn't break a leg.

You know, broken legs can kill goats.

[–]SnailShells 0 points1 point ago

Are they crazy?!

They'll need at least four more goats to feed those lions!

[–]Rflkt 0 points1 point ago

Super goat away!!!

[–]lejade 0 points1 point ago

:( poor goaty

[–]woyteck 0 points1 point ago

Jump of faith?

[–]DeenverDave 0 points1 point ago

Hakuna Matata!

[–]anonymouslives 0 points1 point ago

At least the title wasn't China feeds live children to lions at zoo as parents watch.

[–]troyanonymous1 1 point2 points ago

"China feeds live children to lions as goats watch" would be amazing.

[–]MoistVirginia 0 points1 point ago

This bothers me. I'm not talking about the fact that they're feeding them live prey, I'm talking about how nothing about this is natural. That isn't a pride of lions. It's just a bunch of lions that have congregated and are tolerating each other in hopes of getting food. Look at how many males are in the group. No pride has that many males. And if you're going to feed them live prey, what the hell is the point of throwing it off a wall? So it can break its legs and provide no simulation of a hunt at all? I feel like this is pure exploitation with no consideration for the lion's well-being.

[–]Milldog 0 points1 point ago

Thats because it is.

[–]darker4308 0 points1 point ago

I would go to this zoo.

[–]Scabior -1 points0 points ago

How is this wtf?

[–]rollerboogie -1 points0 points ago

They also breed tigers and slaughter them for their bones. It's used in 'tiger wine.'

Eastern medicine is fucking horrible for the environment. China is shredding up the shark population and countless other animals.

[–]whizzard -1 points0 points ago

I'm so surprised that China didn't find flinging political dissidents off the wall to be more appropriate.

[–]DongleNocker -2 points-1 points ago

Excuse me why I plan my trip to china to go to that awesome zoo.

[–]someFunnyUser -1 points0 points ago

MAN! the railing isn't high enough!!!!!

[–]dozza -1 points0 points ago

they have large prides in chinese zoos...

[–]Jynckx -1 points0 points ago

look how gracious that goat takes a dive. ahh they are just such majestic creatures, are they not?

[–]pollixx -1 points0 points ago

Awesome!

[–]ThatGuyRememberMe -1 points0 points ago

I don't see anything wrong with this. Although I can't really talk because the internet has dulled me.
