Robber Baron? Or capitalism in action?

In the video there is teaching taking place.

That should have been a question. I will rephrase. Where in the video is teaching taking place?

I think Hypatia once again proves it is difficult to tell the difference between a true idiot and a troll parody of one. She is either trolling you guys pretending to be thick-headed or she is a complete moron.

It appears that rogue06 likes to make assumptions and when his error is pointed out resorts to puerility, although he is hardly alone in that regard.

You are the one who pedantically refuses to understand what he and others have been saying: Pets and domesticated animals are conditioned and have been bred for thousands of years to resist their instinctive behaviors or eliminate those instinctive behaviors. You posting a video of a cat not eating a bird does nothing to contradict that fact. It actually supports it. Also, you have no idea how long that cat has been conditioned to not eat the obviously pet pigeon.

And I will repeat: I didn't watch the video. Regardless, I agree with you when you say that "older babies will recognise 'punishment' for unpleasant or unhelpful behaviour."

Are you so geared up for a debate that you refuse to take "yes" for an answer?

I keep looking at the thread title and seeing "Robber Bacon".

Sparko, STOP!!!!

You initially wrote "I never said I watched the video" that is not a categorical statement that you had not watched the video.

Nor did I write "that children can be trained with punishment". You therefore not only distorted what I wrote but managed to offer your agreement with something that had never been alleged either by myself or in the video [which you never watched].

No I am the one pointing out that some of you just cannot resist leaping to unfounded conclusions.

Yup. Such cases provide the exception to the rule. I would suspect that the snake is not hungry when its with the hamster. Sort of like how the lions had just eaten when the host of the nature show sits among them out in the wild.

Actually, if the snake isn't hungry I've seen mice actually nibbling on one.

They spent all their time together. The hamster's name was "gohan" (lunch). The snake, "aochan," wouldn't eat, so the zoo-keepers decided to feed it live food instead of frozen rats. The two hit it off, and aochan decided to eat frozen rats. As far as I know, they lived together until gohan died of old age.

Interesting.

I dated a girl in the late 1970s who owned a pet store that specialized in fish and reptiles. I'd often be there after hours during "feeding time" and I can tell you there was definitely a reason it was done when no customers were around. Perhaps the most gory incident was when she put a mouse in with a tarantula

It was from her I learned about mice eating the snake if the snake wasn't hungry.

I wasn't agreeing with the video as I have not watched it. I was agreeing with you when you said that "older babies will recognise 'punishment' for unpleasant or unhelpful behaviour."

Why are you trying to argue a point that we both agree on?
