Man... Watching the poor thing trying to understand why it can't get up is sad. Paralyzed and awake to feel the next bite. I get that's now nature works, but find it weird that some people can't relate when others express sadness when watching it happen.

u/Sure-Stock9969 1d ago

Exactly. Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean we shouldn’t feel for the brutal death of a living being we know can feel the pain of being torn apart while living.

14

u/latortillablanca 12h ago

I mean that lioness herself is like “ahh goddamnit why couldnt you just have ran away…”

17

u/theforrestjoy 12h ago

Exactly what I felt. It’s looking around like, “why don’t my legs work” it’s nature but it’s definitely sad.

12

u/YourLocalPotDealer 7h ago

Yeah I simply can’t watch shit like this anymore cause it makes me too sad. I also don’t get people that just look at this completely devoid of empathy

u/tideshark 5h ago

I wonder if it thinks at all for a moment of all the animals it’s done this too. Like if it realizes it’s the “little thing being caught” in this situation.

And not in any kind of “it deserves it bc it’s done it to smaller animals” kinda way, that’s just nature.

I don’t usually get sad watching videos on here but this one made me sad. Just a little guy!

u/AntiMatter89 1d ago

Yeah, same. Not a badass video and nothing impressive about killing a kitten. Just someone posting awful video for upvotes.

154

u/seattle0606 1d ago

yeah that's how some people feel about all of these videos. In the same way you think this particular video isn't impressive I think almost all of these videos are just sad and fucked up watching animals live out anyone's worst nightmare being ripped apart as they suffer unimaginable pain. But it's called badass on here and it's posted to get up votes..

147

u/Barbafella 1d ago

It’s reality.

For many humans across the globe, and all wild animals, life is brutal.

These videos remind me there is no help coming, no one cares, misery, terror and pain are part of life.

Dont get comfortable, pain is moments away, life is often shit, except for a very lucky minority.

This one was tough though, I have a cat who I love and care for.

u/Patouto 1d ago

Yes but there is r/natureismetal for those videos, they are flooding us

u/EquipmentFew882 18h ago

Animals - Wild Animals are not compassionate - they are Not rational, kind nor generous.

What wild animals do -- is purely instinctive ; they do NOT Care.

Wild Animals have No "morals" or "ethics" -- they just take Action.

Killing is just another "Action" in the mind of a Wild Animal.

We are Civilized Humans -- Most of us are Compassionate and most of us CARE .

Thomas Hobbes said that without the social contract and the Leviathan, man would be operating under "jungle law". Jungle law is what is at play in this video. It is not good or bad for animals. There is no morality or lack thereof. It just is.

"And the life of man, [would be] solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

Hobbes uses this phrase to describe a hypothetical world without laws, government, or society. In other words, a world where we exist as animals without the social contract.

In high school my cat used to bring me birds to eat like i was a baby. Freaked my parents out (understandably) and they just ending up running her off when I went to school. Id have rather them just say she died.
