Thing is though, this video (and others like it) are freely available to watch on YT with no restrictions and it can be quite easily viewed as it is in this thread. Since starting this thread my stance has altered, I do think YT should place a warning onto things like this (like the iPlayer suggestion), I still don't have a problem with videos like this as it's what happens in nature and can be quite interesting.

I understand how some people can find some of the videos interesting
but for example the one of the pregnant wildebeest having its fetus ripped out, how can people find that vaguely interesting its just sickening
i would just put a disclaimer at the beginning of the video that you have to click off to resume watching it..

I understand what you mean Uk,YouTube should get their act together regarding things like this,I agree there should be some sort of warning,I love watching wildlife programs but as soon as a 'kill' is coming up i have to turn over

I'm sorry but I have to strongly disagree , there is nothing nothing remotely interesting in watching a pregnant wildebeest having its foetus and its leg ripped of and eaten by Hyenas . This happens in nature but it is still stomach churning and I for one do not want to see this. These clips should have a warning of graphic content.

Also I fail to understand how a thread purporting to discuss censorship can degenerate into clip after clip of wild animals ripping each other to shreds and feeding on the carcasses of the weakest.

Folks .... Please get a grip...!!!

There's...one video in this thread? In the OP? In a spoiler? Not quite sure we're the ones who need to get a grip.

Maybe if you had been here earlier you would have seen the 4/5 other clips that were posted including one of a fetus being ripped out of a wildebeest

40D and other iplayers (i think) have the correct way, putting disclaimers saying the clip is suitable for ages over, and you have to click a box to say you are that age
Yes people will lie but they are choosing to watch the video even after a disclaimer so their fault

I agree with that, and yes, if they choose to watch it even with the disclaimer it is their own choice.

Well you may not find it interesting, but I and many others do find nature interesting. This thread is not video after video of wild animals ripping each other to shreds, they have been removed, I even told you that.

And if you do not want to see these types of videos, then do not watch them, it really is as simple as that. Nobody forced you to watch it in the first place, that was your own choice to hit the play button. The video I posted was also spoilered after I initially posted it.

i get what your saying but by not puting your clip in a spoiler in the first place it was like turning up to a house fire the next day

I agree that this kind of stuff is sickening to watch. I wonder at the kind of people who choose to watch it. I agree that there is naturally some interest in stuff like this, but surely the interest is confined to people in the field of zoology, or other related field. Yes, it's nature and it happens, but then so does rape, female genital mutilation and other things that I do not want to watch on the Internet. Just because some sicko posts it up doesn't mean it should be available to the general public and if you really enjoy watching stuff like this, then I worry for your mental health.

Incidentally, words can paint a picture, and I didn't actually have to watch the film to get a sickening graphic description of it from several different posters.
