A New Zealand inventor has been forced to defend the use of worms in a composting toilet he has developed after officials became concerned that the creatures might become traumatised by the procedure.

The rest can be read here. (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/12/16/2120077.htm)

TBQH, I'd like to know what kind of qualifications someone would need to assess the mental state of worms. >__>

...what a friggin' waste of money and time... the people who even decided it was worth investigating the effects of crap on worms need a severe smack in the face. Seriously, would you pay anyone to investigate a worm's feelings?

So, should we be worried about dung beetles as well?

They have feelings to, you know.

I wonder if by "officials" they actually mean "overzealous faggots from PETA."

PETA can suck my cock.They'd probably kill it first. Then claim it was sick.

So...

Tossing worms in a box of their food for environmental purposes... bad.
Cutting them up and tossing them on hooks to be eaten by non-natural predators... good?

At this rate, I won't be surprised if the PETA starts having ethics debates about microbes.

lol yeah what the hell, they sell fishing worms around fishing towns in big quintities, I don't see how this could be any more traumatizing seeing as how the worms are alive when you hook them.

Id love to know what they would have done to the worms if they actually got them out of their food ridden home.

"Naturally" sell them as fish bait maybe?

Yes, but it's the principle of the thing. This is something PETA would do.
