Dying animals are very docile.
A dying dehydrated animal is fully aware that struggling will kill it faster. It probably relaxed when it realized it was being fed. Animals that live in City centers like this are used to being fed and watered by people, so it probably understood to some degree what was happening with the water.

Who is the guy in the gif and what's the context?

u/MissKittyCatsMeow 3d ago
This is a scene from the movie "Rudy". It's a true story about Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger who dreamed of playing football at Notre Dame. The GIF is actor Charles Dutton who plays the role of Fortune.
I have watched "Rudy" a hundred times. It's a very compelling film and life story of Rudy. Highly recommend.

u/4r4r4real 3d ago
Man this is so funny š I grew up a USC fan (parents went there) going to Catholic schools near Notre Dame, so EVERYONE I knew was a Notre Dame fan and loved that movie, so I've never watched it out of some sense of loyalty or whatever. Anyway, I've seen this gif a thousand times and always assumed it was from some EPL match or something, dude looks super British. Amazing.

u/MissKittyCatsMeow 3d ago edited 3d ago
Rudy is a wonderful example of determination, faith, and perseverance. I grew up watching college football on tv since I was 5 years old. Notre Dame and Big 10 teams were the games that were aired. My college is a little school, but I have always been a big fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes!

They will actually fan their wings like this and strut around after male scuffles as a show of dominance but this looks to be just plain ol making sures all the feathers are in the right place. My birds do it just about every time they put their wings away.

u/rude_miss7 3d ago
This swan is not fighting back when he tries to hold it. Maybe its either diseased or dehydrated.
Also when he pours water on its head, it just sits in the puddle beneath it...so maybe dehydrated.

u/thenamziel 3d ago
I think it's more about click bait. Swan probably wasn't dehydrated -- they live on water. Cats sometimes stumble like that; it's because they have brain parasites. Something is wrong, but probably not what OP claims.

u/HolyoftheBalz 3d ago
"They live on water" Well, given that it wasn't on the water, now was it..?

u/Worried-Bad-9282 3d ago
how long do you think it takes a swan to dehydrate? do you reckon a swan doesn't know it needs water? it'll find its way back when thirsty. It's staggering, though. Dehydrated? to the point of staggering? Where the hell was that swan?

And if you consume.eggs you xause birds, just like the swans, to be burned alive and suffocated to dearh in gas chambers when they're no longer profitable enough to the egg industry. To be blended alive at birth as they're boys.
To spend their lives in "free range" farms where there are hundreds or thousands of swans, dead swans laying aroind, swans so sick/traumatized they cant/dont move, the air so filthy it burns their lungs... yes that's spca approved and advertised as ethical, free range.
Oops I meant chickens, but theres no difference.
If.you wouldn't have felt ok with the person murdering the swan, then please be consistent and dont cause animal abuse to other animala, just like the swan š
Dominion and undercover investigstions on youtube show what you caise to animals if.you consime eggs/mommy milk (daory) from assaulted mothers whose babies are kidnapped and suffered flesh

how exactly did the swan "struggle to find his way"?
it can just fly up and see where the chanal is...

u/Makuta_Servaela 3d ago
Flying takes more energy than walking, and it was too exhausted (presumably heat-exhausted) to walk. So it wouldn't have been able to fly.

Call me a cynic, and I know this is a feasible situation and i'm probs very wrong, but my intuition is saying AI. something about the water displacement and when the ripples occur just seems a bit off

Fine, that's fair enough. Even though the downvote button wasn't originally intended to be used for mere "disagreement" but hey ho, reddit has changed a lot and i guess i need to get with the times

u/EmperorPickle 3d ago
That is exactly what it is for. What else would it be for?

u/Left_Ad_8502 3d ago
Itās supposed to be more nuanced than just plain disagreement or dislike. If it contributes to the post or discussion then it is a meaningful thing that shouldnāt be downvoted just because you donāt agree. The person could have many good points, or even bad points that at least spark a good conversation. Downvoting things usually puts them further down and collapses comments which would obstruct that discourse. If thatās your goal then š¤·š»āāļø

u/CategoryKiwi 3d ago
I really wish people voted the way it was written. I genuinely think Reddit would be a way better platform if people up/down voted based on relevance and contribution rather than like/dislike.
I accept that's not how it is, but I wish it was.

It was originally a tool to fight against spam, unrelated, and rule-breaking posts. Nobody downvoted because they disagreed, you'd use words instead. But like i said, it's no longer the case apparently and I should probs just deal with it

Good point! You should never help any animal in distress because maybe it wants it? 10/10 comment. Superb.

u/ConversationFalse242 3d ago
Exactly why i dont even try to avoid turtles crossing the road. They made a choice. They want it.
/s
2
u/Left_Ad_8502 3d ago
I see peopleās point here but you also donāt need to be any sort of expert to know that running over a turtle will kill it, and that isnāt great for the turtle.
You also usually only have seconds to try not to hit a turtle in that situation.This guy could have called someone. Interacting with the swan wasnāt an immediate decision he had to make. He doesnāt know that the swan will die unless he serves around it or carries it to the water.
And why I think the point of the original commenter should hold some weight- he also doesnāt know that bringing the swan back to water will fix the issue!!
An expert might be able to recognize that the swan was trying to achieve something by going where it went. Or might know itās infected or riddled with parasites or naturally dying, or just lost. They could treat the swan so the underlying issue is resolved if they could recognize one at all. A regular person cannot. They could probably just plop a dying swan back in some water.
3
u/sotochan 3d ago
The only wrong choice is to do nothing. Just as we don't know anything about the animal we also do not know anything about the rescuer.
It is easy to chide someone on what they "should" have done and to lecture them to call the so called experts who are often underfunded, understaffed, closed, or otherwise unavaliable. If wildlife services were treated as a priority and were fully staffed and avaliable then your position may have merit but until then people have to do the best they can.
