  4. This makes me appreciate the turkeys I eat even more. As a carnivore I am appreciative of the animals that give me life.

  7. I can’t watch it. After the ad, it says “the requested video is not available”. There isn’t any country restriction, is there ?

  8. in addition, if carnovores stopped eating herbavores, then the herbavores would increase in numbers. this would put massive pressure on plants. landscapes could change into barren landscapes, and i suspect most herbivores would go extinct. mother nature has done a most grand job indeed, and everything is in balance. even humans will find balance with nature. it is coming. nature is adjusting to us. we are learning and mother nature is learning. and we continue to evolve together.

  9. but the reality is, we eat animals. they are so very tasty. i love my baked chicken with roast potatoe and gravy. so many elements of ecology was in view. animals eat animals. these beautiful creatures are what they are, because they eat animals and animals also eat them. i was a vegetarian. worst 2 years of my life. i now accept that i am an animal. i love animals with all my heart and i eat them. its life. if the animals in the world stopped eating animals, there would be none, including us.

  10. that was most amazing. you taught me so much and with such warmth. i learnt that animals do talk to each other, they play with other animals, the love, and the do expend energy in unnecessary activities, like us. it would be interesting to repeat this experiment and compare vocalisation to determine if they are inherited/instinctual or unique to the flow. curious just how much info is stored in the dna of animals and translate to support life. very beautiful and most thankful for your story.

  11. 16 minutes in, already have two questions. 1, how were you able to film the rat snake eating one of the turkeys if he was away getting a sandwich? 2, how were you able to film while the hawk attacked if he was asleep? Seems two turkeys died needlessly for you to recreate these two moments.
