Insect Fighting?

Did anyone know that people did this? Any thoughts?

 

What do they do put two fucken grasshopers in a mini boxing ring and watch them go at it?

 

Theres videos on the internet. The asians do it alot. Scorpions vs Tarantulas, Vinegaroons, mantids, whatever. They just put them in together and since they have a protective instinct they fight each other.

I was talking with a friend of mine as to wether a crayfish would be able to win against a scorpion one time, and believe it or not, we found it on the internet. (The scorpion won).

 

look up BUGFIGHTS on youtube
dude but fights are awesome man, try to find the one where its a scorpion vs. a lobster!!
those silly japanese...

 

hey lol!! you gave up the ending

 

They are pretty cool. Been watching them!!

 

lol people are really bored...

(i don't think a crayfish is an insect..?)

 

So....do all these people saying its awesome also watch bullfights and cockfights? The difference is only one of scale....

 

Yeah I felt kinda bad watching as one bug kept trying to escape and the other one kept fucking it up.

 

hate me all you want, BUT if it were legal then...
YES i'd watch bull fights and chicken fights as well, have to draw the line on dog fights though

no,, i am not a vegetarian either

 

Haha no a crayfish is a crustacé, but I just meant to use it as an example because you seem to be able to find anything and those crazy internets.

Although I'm not one of the people who said it was awesome, I do have to admit that I woudnt feel as guilty watching an ant fight a caterpillar as I would two dogs or some roosters.

Bugs aren't self aware and they go only on instinct. I'm not saying it's right, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend I attribute as much importance to a scorpion as I would to an elephant.

 

Insects don't feel pain like we do. They simply react to stimulus. Rip a leg off an ant and it will run away for a bit, then go about as usual as if nothing really happened. So it's really nothing like cock or bull fighting.

better tell me what people don't do

 

While I concede that insects might not feel pain like we do, I still think the principle is the same. I don't understand how humans can derive pleasure from watching animals cause harm to each other.

 

^^^ This ^^^

 

Crayfish are in the phylum Arthropoda and exhibit molting, segmentation and possess an exoskeleton... I still wouldn't classify them as insects as that's the proper term for members of the phylum Arthropoda/subphylum Hexapoda... but by that logic people shouldn't consider spiders or scorpions insects either.

 

why are we discussing what makes an insect an insect??

how'z this: wasp nest vs. ant nest???

 

I RULE at insect fighting. I have yet to be defeated by one.

 

awesome
but i think a hornet would defeat you,,,

 

Maybe a Green Hornet.
