Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I wasn't ticked off before, but I am now.
For anyone still reading this thread, this is NOT how ethical psychological or sociological research is done.

I agree- i really don't know what makes me more irate-the original intention of this thread or the new revelation
I am also wondering at the ethics and the legality of such an experiment

Some younger keepers have already made names for themsleves, and through good deeds and some common sense, they earn the respect they deserve with no problems.

:-D. look, ive been reading over this nonsense for like 10 minutes. i jsut got up and this a lovely way to start the day. id like to have the ability to flip out here wihtout a warning but ive already got 2. and it wouldnt be nice. im 15 also bud. some of the people on here already give me some respect because i dotn act like a fool. this is a perfect example of what i dont do. i simply ask questions and learn. the point of this forum being. you come in here posting this stuff which i think is also total BS. im on alot of forums. ive seen alot of this stuff. it really really irritates me beyond all belief. and if its true its the biggest display of idocincracy ive seen. and i thought yesterday was. i saw a kid dive off the blocks at my meet and hit his hand on the diving board which is 3 feet away. explain that to me. one more thing. an earth science teacher is earth science with rocks minerals and weather for the most part. they dont teach biology which for you to go and ask him and not a biology teacher is down right stupid right there. i just took earthy last year and im in bio right now, what a difference

idc even if it was stupid experiment. what bothers me is the maturity(lack of it) the lieing on this kids behalf, and the overall idiocy of the idea. i doubt it was a psychology experiment. i really do.

I don't think it was at all either. The biodome thing was bull as well. Just a someone trolling here and got the reaction they wanted. I used to go to a dog board that pretty much had a resident troll. He would change names and post things just to start arguments. Checking isp's it was a member that had gotton mad at the forum regulars. First troll i have seen on fauna though,lol.
Just someone trying to iritate the leo people for some reason or another, maybe he didn't like that he was told a waterfall wasn't a good idea,lol.

working on your PhD? Try learning English and grammar first...I doubt the biodome thing and I doubt this supposed experiment....get a life. It isn't cool telling people you are endangering animals lives for the sake of a good laugh. I still like the idea of putting you in with a Tiger and seeing what survival of the fittest would bring. I just hope you don't actually own any reptiles or any other animal or that you have ever reproduced spawn of your own if you get your jollies off of other people's anger and emotional attachment to animals.

Ok. I do love my animals-all 8 of them. I'm not obsessed. I just really care about them, and all animals in general. Hence why I've wanted to start my own rescue since I was 10. I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone last night. You really had me going there for a while. I just don't like seeing animals being treated like that-especially when it seemed like the info that you were given was falling on deaf ears.

Unfortunately for Mr. Bates, such an admission does carry a penalty here. Trolling, even for "scientific" purposes, is not a permissible activity.
