Australian Stingray vengeance.

Come on? What mentality is that?

Published on September 13, 2006 By adnauseam In Current Events

The news reported today that some divers and fishermen--as well as some other idiots--were randomly killing stingrays off the Australian coast in the wake of Steve Irwin's death from a Bullray. I fail to understand the mentality of people who can be so afraid of relatively harmless sea creatures that they can bludgeon them to death. Fair enough if you catch a ray on a hook and want skate wings for supper. Very cruel and needlessly savage if you kill for killing's sake.

Next thing we know we'll be told that stingrays are cursed!

Any JUsers have any more facts?
