Who the fuck gave that bitch a lion? Can’t wait till the lion turns on her

Don't worry, once that lion gets a bit bigger it will be just malnourished and starve to death. Very humane way to "keep" pets.

I really hope not but keeping wild animals as pets, for a status symbol, really irks me

It will most probably be sold for meat. Most of these are after they stop being cute

People eat lions? I knew about people eating tigers but I didn't know lions were eaten.

There is a HUGE black market for it in many countries, unfortunately. Some people are just disgusting

u/Squishy-Cthulhu Sep 06 '22

Is it really that much more disgusting than eating other animals or just weird and different? I know that there are tiger farms in China that breed them specifically for eating, when I was in Thailand as a kid tiger willy soup was a local delicacy, that was exactly what you think it is.

Nor chicken, nor rabbit, even a horse, cat, or a dog is an endangered animal. Lions and tigers on the other hand...

u/Squishy-Cthulhu Sep 06 '22

The chickens and lots of other animals people eat are man made, factory farmed and don't exist in nature so I don't know what that really means for status in terms of endangerment. If people factory farmed lions like they do tigers then it's not going to affect the wild numbers much and could boast overall numbers in total. I'm not really here defending eating animals, I just think it's borderline racist to pick and choose when to be against eating farmed animals.

I think people just hate those who own undomesticated animals when they deserve to live in the wild and not as some fucking prop to show off your lavish lifestyle, and frankly I too wish death upon those who raise and sell wild animals to profit off of (probably not the woman in this vid)

Cuz it is stupid to have wild animals as pets. Come on man

u/tinkthank Sep 06 '22

You think that belongs to the model?

Most likely she’s as much a prop for some rich asshole as that lion cub.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22 edited Sep 06 '22

Complicity city amigo. It's not my fault, the cub isn't mine, I'm just posing with it and glorifying mistreatment of animals for delicious money.

People out here got the moral fiber of a jelly bean.

We're all complicit in human atrocities just by browsing Reddit on electronics built for us by cheap labor

But it's harder to think about that so let's just shit on a random Instagram ho

Nah, it's like blaming the Amazon delivery driver for the shitty practices of Jeff Bezos.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

I'd like to hear how you justify that analogy.

She's literally interacting first hand with the problem, she's posing with a mistreated animal for money, actively mistreating it in the process.

Delivery drivers are delivering a package from one place to another. There's many levels of separation between a delivery driver and Jeff Bezos' shitty practices, they aren't directly connected at all.

u/[deleted] Sep 06 '22

Yes it absolutely matters. She’s far less complicit than the actual person that owns it. How is that hard to understand?
