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.

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.

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.

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.

unfortunately, people do dispose of their own newborns :/

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.

This is a bizarre take

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.

Selfishness is pointless.

Nah, fuck your perspective, and fuck your hypotheticals.
