xD I think I'd be a bit scared if you did get liquid nitrogen. Or dry ice, for that matter. xD ..the sad thing is, one of the things I want to try with liquid nitrogen is a little morbidly disgusting. Dry ice isn't so bad, it's readily available, but isn't as cold as liquid nitrogen. .. what would the morbid thing be? |

True. The first priority of any government should be the people and only then can the problems of the animals be addressed. A sad fact but I can see the reasons behind it. I always wanted to take in a stray and give it a home, but my mum wasn't keen on the idea. xD ..mostly because enough animals come into the house without invitation as it is. Like a monitor lizard that came in and left a piddle puddle. Now I know that monitor lizard pee is clear, sticky, and odourless. Our flat in Ukraine is simply too small for an animal and I think I am the only one who wants to take in a stray but it's only my grandparents who live there so, yeah. ^^' A monitor lizard?  The most that eve came into our flat is giant spiders and a bat (not at the same time of course XD) |

The best place to see an animal is in it's natural habitat but if the animal lives far away, a zoo has to do. But I agree, if you see a lot of animals around your home, why travel somewhere to see them? Though I wouldn't mind going to the forest nearby to maybe see if there are deer there. Deer are fun. And pretty. And I get to see them fairly often. What would be completely epic to see in the wild would be a cougar. That'd make me be all gleeful. Not that it's that likely to happen. We live in the city so we don't see them as often as we would like, just when my parents get the urge to go wild-food hunting in Tensmuir Forest. Seeing a cougar would be excellent! I wish you luck! ^^ |

I want to take the corpse of a small rodent, say a mouse, and dip it in liquid nitrogen so that it freezes over through and through and drop it and watch it as it breaks like glass all over the place. |

I am. xD Can't help it. That sounds fun. Though when it unfroze it probably wouldn't be. |

The people here aren't exactly interested in nature. They believe everything that grows in the forest is poisonous. XD |

You find out all sorts of things. xD .. you'd probably want to clean up the mess before it unfreezes. And I find it very amusing that you'd find it fun. |
