If you have no empathy for animals just trying to do their thing, that is a good indicator that you’ll lack empathy for people as well.
Comment on Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I see the fediverse is composed almost entirely of vegetarians. Feeling bad for a winged rat? Honestly? It’s not like this man is just going around killing animals like Baron Trump…
I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly.

I understand they’re trying to do their thing, and that’s what happens. He’s not going around torturing birds for his entertainment. And here I’m entirely on the side of humanity, lol, what? I feel bad for the dude, his day was probably ruined.
Bo7a@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
His day was ruined by his own actions, not the loss of a chip. Are you fucking dense?
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
??? He got assaulted by a winged rat. I’m about to eat chicken right now. It seems like you have a lot of feelings and that’s actually nice and sweet but the direction is wrong IMO.

Do ypu think we are in a war against seagulls?
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
They started it back when they stole a whole ice cream cone from my great grandpappy, I’m just ending it!
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 days ago
If his day is ruined by losing a bit of food, he needs to find someone to talk to about mental health. No one should be that close to the edge of violent response.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
He got violently assaulted by a seagull and had a gut reaction with a seagull. I know you wanna equate it semantically but, again, unless you’re even more peaceful and selfless than Aang from ATLA, you’re just being emotionally hypocritical. Had he eaten the seagull or composted it to reduce waste, what would the problem be?

Why are you randomly murdering animals you do not plan on eating? Your cat has instincts to kill so they get a pass but what is your excuse?
Do you not get that killing a seagull like this is not a good thing?
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
It’s really not a big deal, and I don’t understand why it should be. He had a moment of anger (very valid) and what I assume was an immediate, unthinking violent reaction (also understandable but it might have scared some people around, which is not as cool), else the bird would’ve just flown away. I feel bad for the kids watching it, but more so for the dude who just wanted to eat chips in peace. A bird is a bird, and he’s not going around exterminating all birds in existence. Use your heart to give homeless people money, to raise abandoned kids and to stop imperialism and genocide.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
I would argue the moment of anger bit wasn’t valid or rational.
I don’t think you should be giving anyone advice.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I think you expect too much of people in that case. Idk what tribe you’re from (I can guess), but I hope you come from a land of peace loving, vegetarian erudites.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 days ago
What about this was “random?”
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
“ I live in the French equivalent of NYC rat wise and trust me, either my cat or I get rid of the pests quickly. “
That’s the part Im addressing with my comment about random killing. I’m not talking about the article.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Again, purposeful pest removal is not “random.”
Bo7a@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Not vegan, vegetarian, or even uncommonly attached to animals. But you are a disgusting person. Rats are great. Rats with wings are pretty cool too. Killing stuff that inconveniences you is psychotic behaviour. Simple as.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That’s sweet. I hope you have the same level of empathy for human beings.
Bo7a@lemmy.ca 3 days ago
Of course I do. That empathy need not stretch into the loss of a fucking chip. And in front of children no less…
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Well, at least you feel bad for the children, that’s more reasonable.
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days ago
Would you like it if someone grabbed you by your feet and killed you by swinging you into a wall? What the fuck is wrong with you?
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Ah, of course. People and seagulls are the same and deserve the same treatment and the same considerations. And my cat is my daughter and I’m a pitmommy too. This is why y’all are weird to other people.
petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
The only consideration a seagull deserves is death by mein fuhrer. You… wouldn’t happen to be harboring any seagulls, would you?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Well, I’m not going up to people and stealing their shit
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
You’ve never stolen anything, even as a teenager?
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 days ago
What kind of childhood did you have where you think it’s normal to mug people as a teenager?
FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Feeling bad for a winged rat?
This is no about the seagull, it is about actions of this psycho. Crashing skull? In front of children? Really?
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I assumed the dude grabbed it as it was flying out with the chip and just slammed it quickly without much thought. He might have a horrible day/week, just wanted to have some chippies and this happened. Meh. 🤷
FelixCress@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Oh for fuck sake…
Look, I sometimes have a bad day yet I am not walking around smashing skulls.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Bro, it’s not the same and you know it. Equating people and animals only means you have less empathy for people.

What about a person who works in a meat processing plant? Killing hundreds of chickens a day. Are they a psychopath?

Pas pire que Reddit, non (peut-être?), mais je vois que c’est pas le e-paradis que j’avais été promis, mdr. Merci pour ta compréhension ! 🙏

“[All gulls] are protected by law. This means it is illegal to kill, injure, or capture a gull.”
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Legality does not mean morality, come on. If you’ve lived in the West, you know it perfectly well. Is this what the conversation has come to?
Naich@lemmings.world 3 days ago
It’s both immoral and illegal, and quite frankly it’s indicative of a psychopath.
ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I think what you’re picturing is way worse than what actually happened (although in all fairness he could’ve been chanting to Satan while f’ing the seagull, I’m just assuming it’s how I picture it).
