Catrina & Joshua Shears -- Turtle Beheading

Did you ever see the way chickens are dispatched????..... Or hogs..... Goggle that..... Although this did remind of what happened to two Americans in the Middle East..... It really takes a special personality to "harvest" a food animal with such insensitivity for life...... All life is such a precious gift,,,,.. Unneeded sacrifice

Horses live in stalls in stables all around the world. I see a horse living in a pen that has clean bedding and is staked out to graze on grass during the day. That is nicer than almost anything in Southern California!

I wonder what exactly any of that has to do with reptiles, though...

I did mention the first time I brought it up that it was only tangently related. :P As an example of, what I thought (and still think!) , to be iffy husbandry of another one of her animals. (She also teases about dumping ice water on the horse's back. Come on, why joke about that?) So my first point of bringing it up was why sell to someone who has neither the money nor resources to properly house one of the animals she currently has.

I understand that snapping turtles are eaten, and that its rather common. I am willing to debate the topic of decapitation as a humane way of killing a turtle. My issue with the situation is her posting on social media the actual killing of the animal, and stating she should have filmed more blood squirting from its neck. Even if the turtle was harvested for food, she seems to enjoy the killing part a little too much, which makes her character questionable in my eyes. I'm looking for her quote, so i can post, where she mentioned wishing she filmed more blood. It appears she is having a lot of enjoyment and pleasure in killing the turtle.

I read it as well. I believe It was a response she gave after the backlash. I didn't find anything like that beforehand. It was very immature.

Much like all the people that threaten to decapitate her, her future children, etc...

Thanks for the response Dennis. I agree with you. It's an upsetting video, but making threats to hurt or behead her is equally unacceptable and immature.

I couldn't even watch the video, I tried but couldn't.

I have no problem with hunting for food. I also have no problem with a quick decapitation of the animal if that is the only way to kill it(as another poster stated earlier). The problem is honestly them sawing this turtles head off. What a slow and painful way to go. Quick axe or hatchet decapitation, okay fine. Just severing the head and killing it quickly. But slowly sawing it? That seems like a sick practice to me.

This girl seems immature and uninformed. This is the kind of crap that gets Peta all bent out of shape and coming after legitimate hunters who are doing things the right way.

As to the horse, her comment clearly states she is planning on expanding. The horse is improving in her care.


Just my two cents.
