filmig animals to fight in captivity i find is very wrong, and the vid should be reported for animal abuse.

But as for selling live animals on ebay :/ im not to sure whats wrong with that,its how alot of reps are sold and brought, kind of like the spider shop except you dont bid for them, so hmm..

Any fighting of animals for entertainment / sport should be illegal, and I have hopes that one day it will be. Afterall, fighting two cockerels is illegal in most states in the USA so hopefully one day a lizard will be awarded the same amount of protection as a chicken at least!

Yehh that p's me off!!!!1 like the other day on youtube a guy holds a snake up to a glass tank which has a frilled dragon in it. The frill was basking away happily and suddenly gets freaked by a big azz snake...... Damm shame. Ok its not a fighting vid but it still makes a point "people who do horrible things to animals are bad but people who make animals fight are the worst!! and i hate them all...)

Thats my opinion as i am entitled to one

This is totally messed up, but you cannot blame Youtube

They will argue that what is being shown is 2 wild animals doing, what wild animals do.

Quite why someone would post it up is beyond me!!

There is one of a beardy eating a 'lizard' too. I would normally think this was VERY wrong, but then i guess we all feed them live food...is this different? I honestly cannot decide as i have geckos and would hate for it to happen to them

Its often the 'Big I am' Americans trying to look the part..."Oh look how big and hard my lizard is"..."Look at my monitor tear a mouse apart...we're hard"

All that crap.

Proper does my head in. Foot chewing inbreds the lot of them
