Anyone else think this is a bit fucked up? Yes arthropods have primitive nervous systems and simple brains, so it doesn't compare to the cruelty involved in dog fighting. But I just worry about people who find it entertaining to force animals to kill each other for sport.

I understand on one level, it is interesting what natural defenses and hunting skills these things evolved. But why not just watch one of the countless nature programs where researchers document the behavior of animals without interfering?

But this. . . it's like watching a child who takes joy in slowly tearing the wings off of flies. Even if you don't give a damn about the flies, you still worry about the psychology of the child.

I thought it was fucked up then I thought about how popular ultimate fighting is. Think about it, we like watching humans do the same thing. I'd like to see research on the effects of watching boxing and what it does the the human psyche.

Beyond that, the Japanese announcer cracked my shit up.
