This is what comes to mind every time the salesman asks me if I'd like to test drive the new Corvette.

That looks like they've been specifically put in that box to fight each other.

That's disgraceful.

Disgraceful?

Empathy is a good thing, but they are bugs.

Yes, disgraceful they didn't just crush them both with malice and aforethought.

I noticed while they were grappling, the Scorpion was maneuvering it's tail around until it could sting not at the first available spot, but precisely where it wanted.

They are living creatures fighting to the death in an artificial setting for our entertainment. I don't think it requires a mad amound of empathy for said creatures to find that very distasteful.

If that wasa shot from a wildlife documentary I would view it very differently. There's nature red in tooth and claw, and then there's cock fights and bear baiting.

He didn't even drop his book. I doubt he died. His children, on the other hand....

I don't know what she's throwing but I'm guessing it's something soft in a net - slow it down, it even appears to me to change shape with the centrifugal force as she spins.

That's the hammer toss. It's anywhere from 6 to 16 kg, iirc. Like a shot put.

But, yeah. It doesn't look that heavy when it bounces away. Maybe a practice shot.
