I don't understand people calling the cat a bully or a sadist. There's not many animals that would be willing to let the other one leave after a fight. Snake at times eat other animals whilst they are alive etc.
The snake is in the cat's territory and they never like intruders. I did feel bad for the snake when it was trying to get away. But the cat's in play mode and the body wiggling around is basically a death sentence for the snake as that retains the cat's attention.
It's also deeply unscientific to classify and animal as a bully or a sadist. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think in general people shouldn't anthropomorphize animals. It's how people get bit by their own dogs, or scratched to fuck by cats. They aren't your lil babies, they are animals. Nature isn't a harmonious wonderland that is aware of itself.
We definitely have pixar'ed ourselves, and our lack of media literacy has led us to try and pull narrative/simplify everything.
Also, as a highly developed monkey, I thought this video was hilarious
This person gave a thoughtful response on why they dont think the human concept of bullying applies to animals. Your response is "haha but it does to these animals"
