I see the fediverse is composed almost entirely of vegetarians. Feeling bad for a winged rat? Honestly? It's not like this man is just going around killing animals like Baron Trump...

I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly.

Go talk to your plants, I bet they're the only ones who tolerate you. 😤

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

If you have no empathy for animals just trying to do their thing, that is a good indicator that you'll lack empathy for people as well.

I understand they're trying to do their thing, and that's what happens. He's not going around torturing birds for his entertainment. And here I'm entirely on the side of humanity, lol, what? I feel bad for the dude, his day was probably ruined.

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 month ago

His day was ruined by his own actions, not the loss of a chip. Are you fucking dense?

??? He got assaulted by a winged rat. I'm about to eat chicken right now. It seems like you have a lot of feelings and that's actually nice and sweet but the direction is wrong IMO.

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

You could have just answered the question about being dense with a yes.

He got assaulted

??????

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

Do ypu think we are in a war against seagulls?

They started it back when they stole a whole ice cream cone from my great grandpappy, I'm just ending it!

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

If his day is ruined by losing a bit of food, he needs to find someone to talk to about mental health. No one should be that close to the edge of violent response.

[-] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He got violently assaulted by a seagull and had a gut reaction with a seagull. I know you wanna equate it semantically to people being problematic with people but, again, unless you're even more peaceful and selfless than Aang from ATLA, you're just being emotionally hypocritical. Had he eaten the seagull or composted it to reduce waste, what would the problem be?

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry. I've had gut reactions before. Normal humans will swat or punch things.

It takes thought to grab it by the legs, and slap it on a wall.

But yeah, if it was just some unconscious reaction, then whatever. But in that case, I'm curious why a fuckin ninja is among the regular population.

❤️ I'd like to believe it's just some maybe brutish/unafraid but otherwise okay fella and not some everyday sociopath, lol.

You’re a fucking crybaby, you fucking crybaby.

[-] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago

Why are you randomly murdering animals you do not plan on eating? Your cat has instincts to kill so they get a pass but what is your excuse?

Do you not get that killing a seagull like this is not a good thing?

Not vegan, vegetarian, or even uncommonly attached to animals. But you are a disgusting person. Rats are great. Rats with wings are pretty cool too. Killing stuff that inconveniences you is psychotic behaviour. Simple as.

That's sweet. I hope you have the same level of empathy for human beings.

[-] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Of course I do. That empathy need not stretch into the loss of a fucking chip. And in front of children no less...

Would you like it if someone grabbed you by your feet and killed you by swinging you into a wall? What the fuck is wrong with you?

Ah, of course. People and seagulls are the same and deserve the same treatment and the same considerations. And my cat is my daughter and I'm a pitmommy too. This is why y'all are weird to other people.

This is no about the seagull, it is about actions of this psycho. Swinging into wall? In front of children? Really?

I assumed the dude grabbed it as it was flying out with the chip and just slammed it quickly without much thought. He might have a horrible day/week, just wanted to have some chippies and this happened. Meh. 🤷

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Oh for fuck sake...

Look, I sometimes have a bad day yet I am not walking around smashing skulls.

[-] deaf_fish@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

What about a person who works in a meat processing plant? Killing hundreds of chickens a day. Are they a psychopath?

They're even worse, as they do it with no emotion. It's cold and calculated.

[-] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I feel inclined to purchase some meat today just to upset you

Bro, it's not the same and you know it. Equating people and animals only means you have less empathy for people.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I am not equating anything to anything. Smashing skulls because you have a "bad day" is objectively wrong.

[-] prole 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Don't feed the troll, people.

C'est une perte totale de temps de débattre sur lemmy, c'est encore pire que reddit en termes de biais cognitifs et d'echochamber.
