There was once a time when I considered cockfighting to be the precipice of ridiculous competition. That time is no more. The claws....

Dude, they don't even need those blades they attach. Have you seen a rooster's spurs? Those things are half a finger long* and all weapon.

*depending on the size of your fingers.

I once watched a flock of chickens completely shred a live mouse in their pen. That was probably when I lost all sympathy for chickenkind. Knowing that it's basically only the size differential that keeps them from doing the same to us.

Agh, yeah man. Chickens are the devil.

And it's the same for squid. Octopi at least can conceive of an attachment to a human handler (or so I've heard). Squid, you know they just want to rasp your flesh to pieces with that royally messed up tongue of theirs.

Prehistory. It's still here, and it still wants to eat us.

The crazy thing is, Komodo Dragons can form attachments with their handlers if they grow up being taken care of by them. I know they're smart, but these are solitary predators in the wild. It's weird.

See!?

Awww...it's just like a big dog! A big dog with a foot-long tongue. That eats rats. In one gulp.

Yeah, somehow I'm not buying it. That's not affection, that's just taste-testing. "Mmmm...yessssss. Thissss one isss tassssty. I will sssssave her for lasssssst...."

I knew about viciousness of chickens, so I kinda thought turkeys would be the same, only bigger. But now I have kittens milling around in my turkey pen, and they haven't been torn to shreds :S

Damn, I used to love dinosaurs as a kid. I even had my parents buy me a serious dinosaur encyclopedia that costed quite a bit of money.
