So since turkey vultures vomit rancid food and bile on creatures that threaten them, it's OK for me to apply this behavior to Focus on the Family members that I encounter?

But really, who wouldn't go straight for Scrappy? IJS.

Silo ditched Roy and built a nest with Scrappy. They've even started trying to have kids.

So Silo's bi, then.

Vultures also defacate on their legs for air conditioning! The things I learn listening to news about shuttle launches....

The N-M-L people have clearly never heard an unhappy Ozymandias trying to communicate with the stupid humans he lives with. He will bark, moo, oink and attempt to purr (like a cross between a growl and a whine) to tell us whatever it is he wants- usually "Put me on the bed/couch so I can take a flying leap off the bed/couch. We will repeat this procedure until I'm satisfied with your progress."

I tell you, when I was at the zoo last week in the aviary part and it was hot, I was careful to not walk under any vultures. Who were vulching over the entrance to the pedestrian bridge. It was funny how many people would look up and leap back! (Though probably less for the reason I would have and more OMG, I'm being vulched at! )

Vulched is my new favoritest word.

Why can't we base our behavior on what animals do?

Ok.

goes home to have sex with husband and then eat him.

I think their point was the same as yours, but from the other angle. The page linked from that one reads:

Gay political groups argue that if homosexual behavior occurs in animals, it's natural, and therefore should be embraced.

But think about it: Rats and hamsters eat their young. Black Widow spiders kill their mates. Do we consider those things natural behavior for humans, too?

We shouldn't pick and choose animal behaviors to back political causes. And we shouldn't model human laws after behavior found in the zoo.
