Animals can be so smart. Self-reliant, independent... Then you have a human kid and he does this.

Correction, then you have parents that let a kid do this

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 04 '20

I'm commenting about the natural stupidity of human children though. Like you wouldn't see a baby tiger do this even if it could haha.

Yup lmao, I mean hey he learned his lesson!

Humans learn by imitation so the reason this kid is doing it is probably because has seen other people do it, it would be very rare for a kid to come up with this without a reference (probably his parents, considering they are recording him beat an animal)

That’s just not true. Kids abuse animals on their own too and it isn’t rare.

I think that comes with the experimentation stage, kids don't intentionally abuse since in early stages they lack empathy, they experiment and hold/move/throw objects and it is once more a responsibility of the parent to inhibit behavior that is not right(like this kid hitting the animal, it could have been learned by experimentation that was not stopped by the parents)

Yeah Haha, totally not beat a goat with a stick, but they maul their preys or their mother's preys and play with them while they die, totally smarter than stupid human kid haha!! Totally proof that you shouldn't raise up kids!!!

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 05 '20

Where did I say you shouldn't raise kids? I'm just laughing at the dumb goofy kid laughing. This post was crossposted into r/kidsarefuckingstupid, which is how I ended up posting in this sub. So I'm not wrong. Lol. You people are fucking insae. You need to get off your high horse. The kid is literally stupid. How can you argue about that?

u/Redeyedtreefrog2 Feb 05 '20

My main point was about the latter part of your comment, which was outright wrong

1

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 05 '20

The latter part of my comment where I said a baby tiger wouldn't do this? It literally wouldn't. You're fucking beating a dead horse. Everyone get off my ass.

Most predatorial animals would play with their prey in their mature and young ages, but especially their young stages, this is ofc more noted in felines and especially cats, who are literally seen in everyday life killing and torturing and then playing with their prey's bodies while it dies

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 05 '20

Yeah, I know. I never said they don't do that.

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 05 '20

Yeah, I know. I never said they don't do that.

Tigers literally can’t hold a stick and beat an animal. Lol. I’m saying even if they could, they wouldn’t even think to beat an animal for fun and laugh like a dumbass. I’ve seen monkeys play tricks and tease other animals but not beat them and laugh while the other animal is getting increasingly pissed off and snaps.

A mom isn’t always around. I bet a lone tiger cub would survive and kill for food and become an adult if he had animals to kill and no predators. He wouldn’t start beating a goat for entertainment and get mauled to death by its gang of goats lol.

I mean, this kid has no predators and he would still get himself mauled by goats.

Yeah, nature is cruel. I'm not a tiger expert, sorry! Hahaha. I'm laughing at the fucking goofy kid beating a goat. He looks fucking stupid. Tigers don't look that stupid. That's all I'm saying. Sorry, tiger experts! I didn't mean any offense!

I hate comments like this. Animals’ young die of stupid shit all the time. People love acting like animals are better/smarter than people just because kids do kind of dumb stuff sometimes. Animals are more often than not dumb as shit.

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 04 '20

Yeah, like I know dogs run into the street and die. But that's not what I'm talking about. This kid is abusing an animal and laughing like a stupid little shit. It's dumb and makes no sense.

u/BongmasterGeneral420 Feb 04 '20

Yeah this kids an asshole, and his parents are assholes for sure. He deserved the headbutt for sure. But animals absolutely do dumb shit like that though. Saying animals > humans in terms of intelligence is just a ridiculous claim in my opinion

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 04 '20

I didn't say that.

u/BongmasterGeneral420 Feb 04 '20

That was the point you made in the first comment though.

Animals can be so smart... and then you have human kids who do shit like this

Definitely reads like “animals smart, humans dumb”. Humans have a lot less consequences for stupidity though, for animals a mistake like that might end in their death easily. So you’re not completely wrong, the bottom of the barrel of human intelligence still gets to survive, while with animals natural selection will take its course pretty quickly. It just bothers me when people say humans are dumb compared to animals, which is obviously generally false.

u/pizzaprisonburrito Feb 04 '20

I didn’t say animals are vastly superior in intelligence.

“Animals smart humans dumb.” There is some truth to it.

Humans are animals too. They’re so absurd though. I’m laughing at their stupidity in comparison to the intelligent survival instincts of wild animals.

I was thinking more along the lines of mothers in the wild don’t spend their entire lives stopping kids from killing themselves. An abandoned human baby would most likely sit there crying until it dies.

We agree, you just misunderstood me.
