I don't get it. :eek:

How do you get pleasure from setting fire to animals?. Okay I know they are vermin but still where do you draw the line. Would it be okay for me to catch a rat and see if I could blind it with my Nova Alpha 105 :eek:

Personally, I have no sympathy for cockroaches. Rats, maybe. At least is was an instantaneous death compared to permanent blindness.

I considered the resulting smell before I did it... Sulfur and cockroach isn't a good mix.

So instead I set everything up on my barbecue out in the backyard.

XG, to answer your question, yes.
Animals are not people and have no feelings. But as part of this creation, they much be respected. Kill for a purpose, and I have no problem with it. Don't do any harm to a creature without a reason, and again I have no problems with it.

I have no problems with him destroying a creature which by your own definition is naught but vermin.

I hate those things and that one got what it deserved.. ;D But no, I would not harm a rat in that way...I've has the little albino lab rats as pets and they are very intelligent and affectionate, and we all know animals can feel pain. I also would not harm other animals that way like street rats or mice. Kill the vermin yes, but with with traps and poison.. ;D

personally im not really a big fan of this at all... find more constructive things to do with your time than burn living things with your laser. I'm no angel, and im far from a PETA member or tree hugger, but I would much rather see a 20 foot match light than that.

Hmmm... It's funny to see how controversial a cockroach can be.

I knew I would get a bunch of insect sympathizers complaining about how cruel this is.
But unless you've NEVER salted a snail out of curiosity or something of that sort, you have no room to complain.
Yes I understand that it is cruel to cook a cockroach and post a video of it, and I happen to like other living creatures besides humans too (I have a dog, a monitor lizard and a California king snake and a SCORPION), but I think there is a difference between killing an cockroach and a dog (or a scorpion). My rule is: If it's bigger than my thumb, and doesn't cause me any harm it shouldn't be killed... unless it's for food.
It's vermin. Sure we don't eat them but they're insects and vermin.

I posted once in another thread asking if this would be allowed. I got something like 'there is a video on youtube of someone doing that. But they used a really big IR laser' (Not the exact words but you get the point).

Besides, it seems a couple people were entertained. Match lights get old. And the screen shots of the flames are cool.

Don't get me wrong. I am not an insect sympathiser. You have to do what you have to do to keep them out your house. What I don't do is film it or get any satisfaction out of killing them.

If it floats your boat and you get a kick out of doing this stuff all the more power to you.

Ok... I apologize to anyone who thinks this is too barbaric.
I'm sure if a moderator decides it is too offensive they will remove/edit it.
I just wanted to show off my new laser.

I OTOH find it very satisfying to destroy things which need destroying. But as they say, it takes many kinds of people in this world. And I have no problems with anyone who would rather not see any creature harmed. I may not understand that perspective, but I can accept it.

*Edit* because I hit the 'Post' button too soon.
