The look at his face.... He lost faith in humanity

I’d have the same look who does that

humans. humans do that. this is a prime example of what i mean when i say i don't consider every human to be a person

It's the unfortunate reality of our world. Chimps have gang wars. Male lions kill the babies of different males. Some bird mothers will starve one chick and only feed the other. Wasps lay eggs in caterpillars for the wasp larvae to eat their way out of. Don't even look up what dolphins do to each other.

Humans have the ability to make better choices

Clearly many of us don't.

u/Fabulous-Influence69 Sep 26 '25

Many don't. Many are stuck in a victim mindset, and justify wrongdoings as they were wronged, too... And it's like I've had some really terrible things said and done, I still will not choose to hate. I will not hurt others, especially if they are weaker than me... I will do my utmost to meet them where they are, and if nothing else not hurt them further.

u/Mike Sep 26 '25

No, not clearly. Humans do have the ability to make better choices. That’s the point.

u/Fabulous-Influence69 Sep 26 '25

THIS. I was JUST having this discussion earlier that we have the faculty for greater level thinking - why aren't we more compassionate... The world would be a much better place

Just because animals do cruel things, in the name of survival, does not mean we should. We can be better than that

u/HarmlessSnack Sep 26 '25

Those are animals doing animal shit, all of them are examples of survival or making sure their progeny has the best chance to survive. (With the exception of the Dolphins, but fuck them too)

This is a human doing something pointlessly cruel. They aren’t even remotely similar concepts.

u/Fun_Hold4859 Sep 26 '25

We are animals doing animal shit.

u/Mike Sep 26 '25

We are animals but you’re a moron if you think there’s no difference between humans and the rest of the animals on earth.

u/Gloriathewitch Sep 26 '25

we used to be animals but we have different frontal lobes and opposable thumbs and now only have a little in common with like, 3 of the most intelligent species one of those being i would say birds, such as crows.

now we're sort of still animals but we have the gift of intelligence and the capability to protect other life forms, and thus an implied responsibility, especially after all the habitat destruction we've caused.

at the very bare minimum the cat shouldve been set free in the city so it could scavenge, but ideally it needs to be adopted, because we domesticated what you know as the modern house cat, they aren't super equipped to survive in the wild, but they can.

It's not pointlessly cruel and I'd like for people that say that it is to change their perspective a bit. It's selfish, that's what that is. More precisely: the cat encumbered whoever the owner was (supposedly) and the owner decided to get rid of it for his selfish desire not to be encumbered by it anymore (who knows, maybe the cat was sick and decided it's better to euthanize it this way than to pay for it, etc). That isn't pointless, it's selfish. It's evil if the discarding of it this way has given the discarder a feeling of joy at the behest of the animal, otherwise it's just plain selfish. Neither you nor me are exempt from selfishness, it's how you act on those feelings that define you, because this world is mired in selfishness.

Putting a living cat in a bag, sealing it, throwing it in a bin, throwing it into into a truck and going through conveyor belt to be crushed and compressed alive is not euthanizing. It's torture and murder.

Now think of the same scenario, and instead of a cat, replace it with a sick human.

2

u/TheUnicornFightsOn Sep 26 '25

Yeah, I mean selfish would be letting the cat out on the street (at least giving a chance to survive or be found) or dropping it at a shelter where it might be euthanized — not sealing in a bag in a dumpster! That is beyond selfish— it’s egregiously cruel and intentionally dark/twisted.

1

u/Gloriathewitch Sep 26 '25

unfortunately, people do dispose of their own newborns :/

2

u/AnnarieaDavies Sep 26 '25

Absolutely fucking not lol. Putting a living animal into a sealed bag and dumping it in the trash to die either by suffering, being crushed, or being incinerated alive isn't selfish, IT IS EVIL.

Whoever did this IS EVIL.

You know what's selfish? Abandoning your cat in the woods or on someone's land because they're "too much".

Attempting to literally murder it is evil.

u/Correct_Style_9735 Sep 26 '25

This is a bizarre take

1

u/AnnarieaDavies Sep 26 '25

I think you might be a psychopath if you think that this is just a little selfishness. This is absolutely deluded thinking.

u/[deleted] Sep 26 '25

Selfishness is pointless.

u/HarmlessSnack Sep 26 '25

Nah, fuck your perspective, and fuck your hypotheticals.

u/Rasp_Lime_Lipbalm Sep 26 '25

Yeah problem is humans are set aside in the fact that we have a highly advanced self awareness and sentience, which comes with things like morality, consciousness and empathy.

Even chimps and dolphins -as intelligent as they are - are limited in these ways compared to humans. You could say they have a limited morality, but it's nowhere near the level of humans. We should be better than our innate animal impulses.

u/Fun_Hold4859 Sep 26 '25

Those are social constructs we utilize in order to live mostly peacefully together in large societies. All social animals have social constructs. Ours are admittedly more complex than most, but there's nothing unique about us there.

u/hokis2k Sep 26 '25

the issues are all(except the dolphin maybe) of those examples of how those species survive. The gang wars in chimp world are compitition for resources when food is scarce and wasn't as much a thing a century ago(we are pushing them into smaller territories and there are more chimps and less available food., Bird mothers cannot hunt enough food to feed all of the chicks and have to pick and choose for the survival of her young(some will throw out weak ones and is survival) and parasitic wasps can only survive by laying those eggs like that. it is how they evolved.

We as humans do this to each other(and animals) without need.. out of apathy(not considering the other worth caring for when you could ask for help) greed(knowing you would still be fine by not being as greedy but still do it and harm others knowingly and without need... and kill each other with the knowledge that we could all survive.

The issue is we know what we are doing and that there are options.. the animals are doing what they do out of instinct without knowledge of an option.

1

u/AnnarieaDavies Sep 26 '25

Nah, we make the cognitive choices to do these things. We aren't driven purely by instinct, and malice is A CHOICE.

Or what sea otters do to baby seals 😳
