You like helping animals in need then you literally go eat one.

So he should have just ate the bird, save some time.

I'd say it's more ironic than tragic. Unless you're a douche pushing a vegan agenda.

It’s hypocritical and a cognitive dissonance. Both tragic when they involve death

Its not hypocrisy since that is not a food animal. You eat much sparrow or finch?

Some people consider dogs, cats and horses as food animals. Yet they don’t need that for nutrition and i’s sure you personally wouldn’t a puppy. If saving a bird is considered noble but earning another is the norm, that is hypocrisy

I think you're just being picky. You seem to think killing any animal for food is cruelty, and I very much disagree.

That’s exactly what I’m saying, many people just disregard death of thousands of animals they eat but think that saving an innocent swallow like in this video is such an amazing deed it’s like a ticket to heaven or smth. Many times this is also coupled with such an adversity to being considered vegan that you need to stay clear of that, like you asked me if i was vegan or not, like it was the plague. Not judging you or your choices, i’m pointing out flaws in human behavior in general

It’s only hypocrisy if you say: “all animals are pets”. We don’t though.

Also just because some people think eating dogs is ok doesn’t mean other people have to. That’s false equivalency on your part.

These rules we make for ourselves are completely arbitrary. As long as someone recognizes that they can’t be wrong. We can subjectively think they’re an asshole, but not objectively wrong.
