1. YIKES!!! IS THAT FOR REAL???

[mike_c]

2. yep-- I have a colleague who starts all his seminars with that pic....

It's a well known pic among herbivory researchers. I edited the OP to use a bigger version I just located.

3. So -

cow eats rabbit, and...what? :shrug:

[mike_c]

4. tastes like chicken....

:evilgrin:

[LaurenG]

6. Well

Shhh, dont say anything but


Veggies tend to have higher iq's so we know that since we don't eat beef we won't be having rabbit with the beef either:bounce:














:hide: :rofl:

[billyskank]

9. It's like how one friend said to me

"you see, the reason us Hare Krishnas don't eat chicken is because they've got egg in them." :D

:hi: OhioBlues! :hug:

:loveya:

[LaurenG]

10. ...

:rofl: Good one.

just fyi, my iq is average, nothing more. So the study doesn't apply to all vegetarians. :hi: :loveya: :hug: :*





edit: extra word

[billyskank]

11. I'm not saying what mine is

;)

:*

[LaurenG]

12. You were one of those the study applies to

we already know that!;)




edit again ;(

[billyskank]

13. Don't cry

we all have to edit! :hug:

:loveya:

[Jamastiene]

22. From my experience with you, I'd say

your IQ is definitely in the high three digits range and probably higher than the average genius, if there is such a thing. Hey, billy. :hi: :hug:

[billyskank]

23. No, it isn't

It's three digits, but not so high, I think. :hi:

:hug:

[Xipe Totec]

19. It's a Harvey-vore n/t

[cwydro]

5. I don't believe that.

Cows don't eat rabbits. Can you even imagine a cow chasing a rabbit?:rofl:

[mike_c]

8. thundering hooves of the predator....

15. Boy cows do not have udders

Which colleague opens with that picture? :shrug:

Have you been listening to Sean Armstrong? :shrug: 'Cause nobody should listen to that asshole. :hide:

[mike_c]

21. I knew that....

I have a Ph.D. in... science!

Mark Hunter at the University of Georgia uses that pic to start his seminars. He studies interactions between plants and herbivores.

7. I had a feeling this whole turducken thing wouldn't end well...

Somebody always gotta take it toooo far.

[Gormy Cuss]

14. What would you get if you crossed a cow with a rabbit?

Hare in your milk.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. I'm seeing a cow who adopted a rabbit and is carrying it by the...

scruff of the...ass... to a safe place.

Don't you dare tell me anything else!

:)

[Redstone]

17. You're probably right.

Redstone

[BarenakedLady]

24. That's exactly what I see too!

Imagine that. :)

[flvegan]

18. What's to consider, exactly?

If the photo is real, what is the intent of the cow with that rabbit?

I don't get it.

[mike_c]

20. the cow is actually eating the rabbit...

...or at least chewing on it. Lots of large herbivores are facultative omnivores. The picture is real-- it's fairly well known among folks who do research on herbivory.

I've seen squirrels eat road kill as well.

BTW, I'm not really trying to make a point about vegetarianism-- it's just a cool pic that illustrates that even animals we think of as obligate vegans have a little wiggle room.
