FabSwingers.com forum: Bring back hanging

By (user no longer on site) OP

Seeing as its now considered "ok" by some to kill a ten year old child for being in the wrong place and upsetting an animal. We may as well bring back corporal punishment for most crimes. Seems that's how people especially vegans want it. I ran over a badger once. I'm expecting the firing squad any moment.

The parents should be given some kind of penalty for negligence + the institution of keeping wild animals should also be fined for not having safer fencing. Both parties have been unforgivably negligent.

One day when you least expect it, animal activists will train that badgers' relatives to drive. They will hunt you down. My advice is not to walk alone on any country lanes at night.

I don't think the parents should be fined at all. The 10 year old kid was doing what most 10 year old kids do...climb stuff then fall off. Just so happened he fell into a gorilla enclosure.

Sorry no, apparently the child deserves death. And swift at that. Child's thought process...

"I like climbing!. Oh oh I've fallen! I hurt! Where's my mum and dad? There's a Gorilla! There's a man with a gun, i hope he shoots me in the face so that the gorilla is ok".

Hanging people is a terrible way to punishish people.

It's disgraceful - nobody should EVER be hanged no matter what they do.

We should hang all the hangmen if this is brought back because hanging people is NOT the answer

Be careful what you wish for, there are no shortages of examples in human society where anything outside of heterosexual males and females, and life long mate pairing between them, was seen as illegal and even punishable by death.

Examples that are extant in the world today in 2016.

Who knows what could be considered the new normal here in another 10 years.

I think if capital punishment is brought back, a toll should be introduced. Something like 1 innocent orphan child in care for the hanging of 1 "guilty" man. If it's voted that the guilty man's death is worth the orphan, then go ahead and kill em both.

Probbaly because the hundreds of thousands of other visitors had never had a problem and the expectation of parents to supervise thier child meant that it was not aomething that was reasonably foreseen.

Being the sociable type i get on with most normal people very well. Certainly i can't talk chimpanzee yet. Maybe Fats you are indeed Dr Doolittle. However, swinging does necessitate a certain amount of "people skills". I feel inclined to point out that if you truly feel that you associate more successfully with animals rather than people, then maybe swinging, which is an inherently social pursuit, isn't for you.

"Hanging people is a terrible way to punishish people.

It's disgraceful - nobody should EVER be hanged no matter what they do.

We should hang all the hangmen if this is brought back because hanging people is NOT the answer

Totally agree - much better to slowly torture them and then draw their limbs out one by one.

You sound psychotic.

MY POST WAS DELIBERATELY CONTRADICTORY!

It was deliberately idiotic and anyone with a brain could see that

You can't assume everyone on here will have a brain,or use the one they do have

I believe the convictions were found to be unsafe, thats very different from being innocent .....no....they were originally released for that reason. ...cleared of all charges later....but played down by various people who are still involved in a smear campaign. .."

The Birmingham 6 were basically found guilty of being Irish and in the wrong place at the wrong time. Unfortunately, despite them being cleared of all charges, there are plenty of people who seem to think there is no smoke without fire.

But the backlash from said incident implies more people think.the kid should have been shot at the gorilla saved. This is a reaction thread to the one about harambe. There was some confusion with the age of the child but the bones of it are essentially the same. Adults would rather see a child die than a gorilla.

Would it be a fair thing to say that, if the Zoo didn't exist in the first place, then the animal would still be alive ?

For some to suggest that shooting the animal was the wrong thing to do though is utter madness.

If they had to go and collect the guns from a safe place why didnt they collect some tranquilisers and use that instead.

BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SHOOT AN ANIMAL WITH A TRANQUILISING DART WITHOUT HURTING IT - SO IF YOU HURT IT BY TAKING THAT RISK YOU THEN RUN THE RISK OF CAUSING IT SERIOUS AGGRAVATION - AND AGGRAVATING A 200 KILOGRAM MALE ADULT GORILLA WHEN HE HAS A SMALL 4 YEAR OLD CHILD IN HIS POSSESSION CLEARLY ISN'T GOING TO END IN CUDDLES AND CUTE PICTURES!

To me the far greater tragedy is the 21 people murdered and dozens more who lost limbs or were blinded by the atrocity - but they are forgotten about. Two wrongs don't make a right but everyone seems to think that what happened to 'Birmingham 6' is worse than what happened to those caught up in the bombings."
.....no one thinks that at all. ... However from an early stage, the British government knew that they had got it wrong. Instead of freeing those wrongly convicted, and go after the real killers. They chose to bury their heads in the sand, and hope the campaign for justice would peter out.

I am no expert in animal behaviour (even though I've watched every Attenborough show going

) but u do know that a gorilla, even a protective one trying to be nice, still has the power to do great damage. He was dragging that child through the water quite viciously...not because he was trying to hurt it but because a young gorilla could probably handle it....a human child is not a young gorilla.

If they'd have left the child in there and something would have happened to the child the zoo would again be at fault. None of you would be saying 'good on the zoo for giving the gorilla a chance' would you?

Again, having watched extensive episodes of animal programmes animals don't just go 'oh that smarts a bit' when hit with tranquillisers so there was that consideration. Obviously I would have preferred this to be the option they used but then I wasn't there and as I say I am not an expert in animal behaviour or husbandry.

Sadly any environment with large and dangerous animals in will have to have systems of work and protocols to follow for when things like this happen. They will no doubt have to answer to an enforcement authority about the use of guns and the killing of an animal involved in a breeding and conservation programme.

They are a specie's in intensive care because of us, we have cut down their habitat and hunted them to near on extinction and now this poor sod wasn't even safe in his man made home because some parents couldn't keep an eye on their kids

Compassionate being the key word. The people who don't seem to give a shit about the gorilla might like to look up the definition.

Just because it was the right thing to do in the circumstances doesn't mean it wasn't heartbreaking.

Compassionate being the key word. The people who don't seem to give a shit about the gorilla might like to look up the definition.

Just because it was the right thing to do in the circumstances doesn't mean it wasn't heartbreaking. "

I agree. But let's not be anti zoo about this. That gorilla only existed because of a breeding program in a zoo. If you want endangered animals to have any chance you need breeding programs paid for by the general public at zoos.

Modern? Wtf? .

Yeah modern, your not reaping in a harvest 90 hrs a week while the sun's shining are yer!.

So you've been entertained by the entertainment but you don't like the bad taste it leaves, yeah well tough shit

Zoos existed when kids were reaping harvests. They're not a modern thing. .

Humans have been on earth about 200,000 years the first zoo opened in 1874 I'd say they are pretty modern on the grand scheme of things

Yeh but that's not modern in common usage of the word. The bike is modern by that definition, and so is the wheel, so are swords and fire.

Fire was discovered in the stone age, the stone age finished about 6000 BC

The wheel was invented 3500 BC

The first zoo was 142 years ago"

Still not modern cos 142 years isn't relatively recent to anyone alive. Zoos just aren't new. You get antiques that are more recent.

Members of the public are led to believe that animals bred in zoos might one day be released to the wild and are helping to prevent the extinction of their species. The truth appears to be that animals are bred in zoos in order to ensure that zoos have animals to show the paying public for many years to come.

No they aren't, most animals bred in captivity wouldn't even survive in the wild. The public aren't fucking morons.

Why didn't they just drop a rope ladder into the enclosure so the boy could climb out?, were they worried the gorilla would use it then run around the zoo going arrroooouga lamping all the witnesses then hiding under a sheet in the back of a builders van till they stopped at Potters bar services for a quick shit then shouting BOO and making the stop totally unnecessary and getting kicked out so it has to hitchhike till Tedington??, cause that wouldn't have looked good on news at ten that's why

Extinction only happens when there are none of a species in "existence" do you see fats? Do you see where the word "extinction" comes from? So if the world population of western plain gorilla or whatever is 300 and they are all captive bred and none are in the wild then that is a real shame. But, the species is not extinct... I'm in wonderment as to just where your "truth" came from? I'm supposing, probably wrongly of course, that you have a reliable source? Really, It must be so stressful being so negative all the time? Have a break fats, you deserve it.

or perhaps they were worried that the gorilla would try to stop said 4 year old child from escaping his protection??as said before....400lb animal of mainly muscle can do so much damage even if not acting aggressively.

What if the gorilla had been radicalized and was recruiting well meaning but ultimately deluded flamingos for a one legged terrorist outrage? (possibly for ginger Harrys olympics where they run with a car jack strapped to their knee) where would you namby pambys (pambies?) be then eh

Look lets all agree that zoos are the only opportunity most people have to point and laugh at imprisoned monkeys giving a 'piggyback ride', flinging their shit or peeling a banana with their feet, now this is something I feel we have earned the right to do by evolving. They had their chance too but they blew it so tough, if the boot was on the other foot they'd do just the same and we all know it

Nothing about well funded, international breeding programs being just a way of keeping animals in zoos for the general public to view. Conversely, surely that is a better alternative to capturing wild animals for display?

correct

not sure what the OP is talking about, perhaps we should just guess

It's one thing choosing human life over an animal, most of us would do that if it ever came down to it. It's another thing to seemingly relish the situation.

And slagging those with a different opinion.
