Can animals commit suicide?

If they can't, I want the legislation passed so they can.

 

yup, dolphins are known to kill them selfs aswell, many already have, what they do is they swim to the very bottom of the water, and then stay down there intill they can not hold their breath anymore so they drown,
this usally only happens when they are put in zoo's and those water shows when they don't want to be.

 

they can be self sacrificing. for example, Belding’s ground squirrels. they make two different alarm calls. one is for aerial predators, and the other for predators on the ground. When they make the calls on the ground, they are sacrificing themselves for the good of the group because the predator will more than likely go for them. When they make the aerial call they are actually protecting themselves because the all the other squrells make mad dashes and the predators get confused and are more than likely to catch one of the squirrels running around.

 

Lemmings, man. Lemmings.

 

I have no ****ING clue.

 

i have trianed squirrels that will attack on my command!! Mwhahahahaha

i am also know to steal other peoples plans! and their persona! Mwhahahaha

 

Actually, that's a myth, purpetuated by a Disney documentary called Wild Wilderness where they forced lemmings over a cliff from off camera.

 

Actually it's a fact supported by the doctrine of **** and don't make me look silly.

 

The shadaloo Orginazation is going to fall!! once I Invade them with my Stronger Soilders!!

 

*GASP* A doppleganger!

 

I don't have to, you do more than an adequate job yourself.

 

Well, my mother's dog refuses to eat whenever my mother takes extended leaves of absence. I guess willing, severe starvation like that could be considered animal suicide.

 

I must concur here. It's widely documented that those poor creatures were driven off the cliff by off camera personnel. Oh the things you could get away with back in the late 50's/ early 60's.

Okay, I'd just heard the lemmings thing off-hand a few times, so it's no big deal that it isn't true. I didn't really get mad and the comment I made was sarcastic. Maybe I should include smiley faces in every post from now on so people will get it.)

 

This is ****ing stupid.

 

The dog could have tried to escape. I'd imagine if it was chained outside all the time and everyone who was affectionate with it left, it would be very depressed.

 

Hmmm...homosapiens are concidered animals...so Ill say yeah,Im pretty sure they can

 

There is this one species of rodents that kill themselves by running off a cliff so that its race won't get overpopulated and have food shortage.

 

WallCrawl, this is your cue.up:

 

I would have to say that story is sad,yet interesting.I could imagine there was a weird..unexplainable aura around when you saw that.Yes,animals are smarter than we give them credit.I could belive it if they can commit suicide.

 

thats a darn good question, I've never thought of that before

my friends dog ran around a post he was tied to and hug himself....
