Yes I'm sure she will reply to an email from a random person asking a meaningless question.

omg omg omg omg omg - its a girl quick everyone try to act cool maybe she'll notice us........ lol....

What are 'herbavores'? I love differing opinions but why so angry? Firstly this is not really directly 'Funded'. Renata is a university student and this is simply a study as part of her Honers. Therefore this is not a waste of money. Secondly you claim to know so much about behavior in animals. Can you post some of your scientific evidence. I am not a scientist, nor am i a fool. But i am a nerd because i signed up to slashdot... : )

And you don't seem to realise that ms.Pronk did not write this article. This was posted by a user of 'SD' who stumbled upon an Australian news article. Who then posted a mashed up version of what he found in the news article. News article, not scientific paper. If you didn't know by now, Renata did not write this article herself, unless you have seen her actual published findings i wouldn't be making comments like this.

wow! From this we can conclude: 1) Your sense of humour is bizarre 2) You are sexually frustrated (we all know why) 3) Due to points 1 and 2 you must therefore be a social retard.

WHAT? LOL Oh sorry i'll tell her at our family BBQ her name is now Anita, Renata just isn't working
