      I understand PETAs cries a bit but they are a bit radical. I do believe currently animals do need to be treated better similar to native ways where you only kill what you need and you respect the animal. Also there are WAY too many human beings on the planet which as your all aware probably, has a massive impact on housing... Jobs....too much meat being made...etc etc
      PETAs too extreme but there are other ways to help the planet unlike paying for ads on public transit showing us bloody animal heads and shit....
      They could use that money to lobby in courts to change legislation around animal treatment...
      Instead they yell at us..

    There are many things to talk about this amazing documentary. Ants live like some human kingdoms. The narrator's voice is from another world. The Choice of words are amazingly tense - "Deadly significance" "Coming trials" "Darker side of the honey ants" "Killing spree" "Events have taken a darker turn" "A royal carcass"

      No, not really. The nest is a self-regulating superorganism where none of the ants have much individual pull over the events. This includes the queen. A misbehaving or wandering queen will be dragged back to the chamber and the workers care for the queen out of instinct, not out of obedience or by command.

      They are relatively free but they can't achieve much on their own. If the rest of the colony has a different opinion their efforts will be meaningless. When ever a colony moves there are always some ants who disagree and carry the larvae back to the old nest. But at some point the last ant with that opinion will find themselves bringing larvae to a chamber that has been emptied of all its brood and realize that there's no point. The ants live in a society...
