Do you consider this evil?

Posting a link without a description or any commentary? Simply dreadful.

 

[PottedMeat]

fire ants deserve far worse

 

[noacess]

Not evil. Pretty neat IMO.

 

[n7]

Interesting.

 

[Leros]

If it was in the guy's yard and he was going to kill them anyway, no.
If it was for research, no.

If it's purely just for art, maybe. Somebody can probably argue that killing that colony enabled an equal number of other ants to be able to live or something like that.

 

[JackBurton]

Is this a serious question?

 

[John Connor]

That was bitter sweet. Pretty neat though, but I'd rather hunt for meteors in the desert or the glass in the sand after lightning strikes it.

 

[Sluggo]

Pretty sure you can thaw them out, just like Han Solo.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

Perfectly ethical.

 

[Naer]

I don't get it. I didn't see any ants

This.

Question for the OP....do you deal with fire ants on a daily basis?

And do you find putting poison out/in fire ant mounds evil, too?

I'd think using molten aluminum to kill the ants (instant vaporization) would actually be a more "humane" death for those precious fire ants than a slow death by poisoning.

BTW...the guy in the video has one of his castings for sale on ebay----for almost $5K.

as long as they give them notice by putting the plans on display in the basement of the local planning department, I don't see how anyone could complain

And I'm pretty sure that even that one was a repost, though I haven't been able to find the other thread.

Seems like there was a huge one a couple of years ago, like 15 or 20 feet.

 

[biostud]

No, the ants died quickly.

 

[Perknose]

The whole concept does make me feel kinda' antsy.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

This could be what turns the ants against us.

I didn't start a thread for it...

 

[DaTT]

Equally, if not, more impressive casting of an ant colony

 

[BUTCH1]

Not at all, ever been bitten by those fucker's? it hurts like hell and leaves welts for weeks..

Have you ever been ripped off by a Jew?

Does it therefore make sense to murder everyone currently living in Jerusalem because they are Jewish and they could potentially rip you off?

He better hide his ass when ants evolve and take over the world...
