Jaguar Paraded at Olympic Torch Ceremony Shot Dead

a reply to: JetBlackStare

Actually, I think it's a clouded leopard. It looks a little off to be a jaguar.

Here is what you can expect if you go to Brazil.



This is all day every day on the streets, on the beaches, and in the shops. So many great cities in this world and they give it to Rio?

When I think Rio, I think remember this:



But having a 5-year-old might have something to do with it.

There is also this:

I appreciate the efforts but I can't watch videos on my machine... some player issue, Im not even concerned about just like in real life...

OK, Rio the blue bird movie for kids, and the other clip was the trailer from the movie Brazil, a really weird Terry Guillam offering from 1985.

There are a few people that where lined up to go to the Olympics that have dropped out due to the Zika risk alone. If it was just Zika being the problem I could see the Olympics still running as normal maybe a few people short. But there are so many other problems with this one and Zika is just the tip of it.

I fully expect when July comes around we'll see a couple of countries pull totally out of the Olympics.

It really is a shame on the Olympic committee for not pulling the Rio 2016 Olympics and relocating.

It is a buzz with countries that care about spreading Zika that many will end up not showing up for this year's summer Olympics.

If you are knocking the movies I put up, you are aware that Brazil is British ... right? As to my comment about the clouded leopard, I was talking about the animal in the mural.

I'm pretty sure it's a clouded leopard, too. I made a thread about it at one point. It was just what popped in my head.

No my friend, 'twas simply pointing out how US Americans view South American countries.

I didn't realize Brazil was still under British influence politically. Is the B in BRICS actually Britain?

IMHO it's sad to celebrate something reconstructed by the Nazis to try and prove their superiority over there races. Funny how things go.

Very Bad Omen, Froman. I think they should cancel this as soon as possible.

Since when? Offer some proof of this ridiculous notion.

Look! He's coming right at us. Bang!

Poor animal, haven't these people ever herd of tranquilizer darts???

a reply to: abe froman

1 minute on liveleak should change anyones mind to ever visit Brazil.

He was actually tranqued, it just hadn't kicked in fully. Really sad case to shoot such a beautiful cat when it was most likely coming towards the humans for comfort, not aggression.

RIP Juma, you were just a big doped up kitty.

That guy should have put the camera down......


and picked up a rifle.


Trash, of which the world could do without.

a reply to: Vector99

Well they could have shot it again with tranquilizers and maybe the drug would have had more affect. Fair enough it may have overdosed and killed the animal also but least it would have had a chance.

What about Tazing the beast? That may have had the desired effect.

a reply to: andy06shake

according to the article it was one scared person and one shot that killed him...this is the pretty kitty btw
