    In this case, I think the video title appropriately describes the content of what the viewer will witness. However, in the this next video, I agree, a warning and spoiler are necessary. BTW, I find these videos - and nature - fascinating, not necessarily entertaining. I just had no idea a woodpecker was capable of such things.

    You are right. That doc is very interesting.

    Look at all that delicious meat being prepared. I love slaughterhouses.

    In the woodpecker's defense, it did show a bit of a concern when the first one fell off the tree at the 1:19 mark.

    Fun fact: Woodpecker tongues wrap around their head and brain as part of a cushioning system for the hammering

    [​IMG]

    Maybe one too many knocks gave this woodpecker brain damage telling it to go and eat these things instead

    That was truly a terrible death. I can think of few worse ways to go out than getting your intestines ripped out through your anus while having your head pecked in.

    You seem to think that there's no middle ground...either people are bloodthirsty savages eating newborn lambs with their bare hands or people are eating tofu and drinking almond milk so they can be sure and fit into their skinny jeans.

    Life, and nature, are cruel. I despise factory farming, but please don't act like that's all that is out there.

    Btw...if yall think that was nasty, don't ever watch a snake, or a roadrunner, or a pair of eagles, or a pack of coyotes, or....

    Ummmm - you realize that early human evolved as Vegans right?

    We didn't really eat meat (it was bone marrow from dead carcasses) but vastly our diet was fruit and nuts.

    Also, there would be more food, not less if the world ate less meat. Livestock takes up more food than it produces.

    Now, don't get me wrong, I love a good steak, I am just saying, get your facts right.

    Well apparently you havent evolved much because you still like to eat nuts.

    from the very beginning i brought up "ignorance" i wish at the very least people would watch learn a little about what goes on to make an informed decision.

    it goes with whole segments of today's society. there many people out there that have not read a single book in their lives. they dont care and are lazy, with out of sight out of mind frames. as another thread that was posted today, more and more people are overweight in american society. never travel outside of the country in their entire lives. follow people like kim kardasian.

    if i put some thought into it i could probably go on and on for a while.

    i did not mean to go off on a long tangent like that. again i wish that people would look into things a bit further than foxnews or msnbc.

    Didn't watch the video in the OP as I don't have the stomach for that, but woodpeckers can be quite badass.
