It jumped OUT OF THE WATER, into her boat and stung her to death.

pave the oceans

[Snoogans]

or you know, just dont go into these animals home. Sucks for this lady, but stay outta the ocean. Stay off the ocean. You wouldnt complain if someone walked into a jungle and got eaten by a lion

I would if the lion jumped in the water and killed someone scuba diving...

[Snoogans]

I would if the lion jumped in the water and killed someone scuba diving...

except thats not even close to what happened. Rays are in the ocean, you were on the ocean in a way you werent intended to be by nature. If the lady was layin on a beach and it jumped out onto her, then you may have a case

[TheMojoPin]

Snoogans is right. That's why I stay out of or off of the ocean, or really any body of water. That's not our place, and anything bad that happens is because on the chart of dominance of the waer, humans are waaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck down. Some shit bad happens to you out at sea, that's on YOU. Fuck water. I drink it and then pee it out in spite.

You read the article...the statistics of this happening are next to impossible...

Human beings have been on the water as long as we've had the technology to build boats...

Have to agree with Mojo here. If you go out into the water, or into any area where wildlife resides, you have to go with the understanding that ANYTHING can happen. You are in their territory. If this stingray was trying to escape from a predator, and leaped from the water, it isn't HIS fault that some human was standing in the way. He was just trying to survive.

I swam with the stingray once. They were very beautiful but it filled me with uneasiness. Not because I was afraid they would turn, but because I felt like I shouldn't be there. An intruder.

[pennington]

It gets weirder. I heard on the ABC radio news, the woman wasn't stung, it was probably the blow from the thing hitting her that did it. It's like a 75 pound piece of concrete hitting you.

Boy, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go.

[CaptClown]

See, this is what happens when you make fun of Aquaman and Namor. They have got together and put hits out on the land dwellers.

[jauble]

For all of you "we are in their territory" people I dont want to hear a word when an animal is killed because it entered a city/town where it could be percieved as a threat.

[FUNKMAN]

was her name Barb?

Nice call back. Ron's words exactly.

The 'Pave the Oceans' segment always a fave.

All's fair when you mess with someone's home turf. I shot a White Sox fan the other day for being north of the Loop. NO JURY WILL CONVICT ME.

[Snoogans]

For all of you "we are in their territory" people I dont want to hear a word when an animal is killed because it entered a city/town where it could be percieved as a threat.

but that is still there territory in a way. If someone goes up and builds a house where bears live, dont get all mad and shoot any bear that walks through your yard. Its gonna fuckin happen

[sailor]

you "stay out the oceans" people are crazy. this is no different than walking thru the countryside and tripping over a squirrel and splitting your head open on a rock (in fact she may have died from hitting her head falling during the incident).

[Sinestro]

I blame Namor and Aquaman. They need to keep their subjects in line.

So says the guy who lives in Black Bear country.

He would die proudly if he was devoured by a bear.

[Bulldogcakes]

So it would be wrong of me to tie a T-Bone to his drunken ass as he leaves the next board event?
Is that what you're saying?

[Snoogans]

i understand the risk of bears and if I go into the woods I'm prepared to deal with that.

[NewYorkDragons80]

That kind of talk is what keeps this from happening more frequently:

Eating the animal that killed your love one strikes me as being more than just a tad weird. If anything, it should be released back into the wild for being such an incredible overachiever and praised forever for its awesomeness.

well, it's dead already. why release it.

(and of course it's weird you friggin' weirdo.)

Then it should be lamenated and put into a museum of badassery as a warning to all seafaring fools everywhere.

Wouldn't that basically be anywhere? The bears were here before us.

And didn't they pass a law letting people shoot bears in NJ a couple of years ago because they were attacking people in towns?

It's ok if you dress up as a bear and kill them though, right? Cause, then it's just a disagreement between brothers. I think.

Ya know what Jeff, the story didn't tell you that this Stingray was also part of the Chinese governemnt.

A murdering stingray! Must be the work of E.V.I.L.!!!!

[NewYorkDragons80]

I'm usually against blaming animals for being animals. They shouldve let the stingray go. The other people in the boat probably beat the poor guy to death, not that I blame them.

He's a complicated man ...

[Crispy123]

This thing was a leopard ray. They weigh up to 500 lbs. They jump out of the water to get rid of parasites and predators. It wasn't attacking and it didnt sting the lady to death.

They probably had the boat throttled out and a 500lbs wall of brick hit the lady and the impact killed them both.

You guys are some nature hating, speculating suns-a-bitches, and you make me laff and laff.

Now here is someone who makes sense. Because its a fuckin Ray, nobody cares. I bet if you hit a dolphin jumping outta the water, all these humans would be crying about how much it sucks that a dolphin died. WHERE IS THE LOVE FOR THE LEOPARD RAY???

[Crispy123]

There was so much speculation on this at first, I gave out bum info. It was actually an Eagle Ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_eagle_ray), they can get up to 500 lbs (or as little as 75 :wink:).

and for the record there is only one Sugar Ray...

In the artilce I read it mentioned that a few years ago a guy was on his boat and one of these things jumped into the boat and actually did hit him with it's barb.

The guy had to have surgery to have a 12" barb removed from his heart.

I think the guy was an old timer like 82 or something.
