In nature, they seldom die of old age

Post by Farrier1987 » Sat Sep 26, 2020 8:57 am

I see this, and this is the kind of thing I don't let happen to mine. Also why I don't feel bad about being a carnivore. They are treated well while they are alive, with no terror at the end. And I don't feel so bad putting a slug in my goat's brain when she had a broken hip. Carnivores still got her when I put her in the bush, but no terror.

That bull went to the water. He should have stayed on land to fight with his horns or run away. Hard to pick up, but watch in the water, I think he is limping on the back right leg/hip. So nature said he wasn't the one to make it this time, and the grizzly is getting ready for the winter. But I am guessing by his size and rack that his about 5 to 6 yrs old and his genes are well represented in new generations.

Apparently his leg was broken already when he was attacked.
