I mean...

It is deeply fucked up and anyone who gives the family pet to a lion should never be allowed to have pets OR children.

But a lot of people get small rodents or rabbits because they think they are just goldfish (which is a whole different level of animal abuse but...). And then they lose interest they just put it in the oubliette or "release it into the wild". So... cycle of life and all that is probably better? Same with horses. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a father like Trevor Moore who can teach them how to dispose of the body.

So yeah... I think I am okay with this? As fucked as it is?

Could have just offered up 15 roosters this morning. They'll go to trapping bait instead.

What do you use roosters to trap? And why wouldn't someone just eat the roosters if you weren't wanting them. Someone would probably also buy them.

We use everything. It all supports how we live. We do not use the grocery store very much and even though we are poor we actually give a lot of food away to our neighbors and friends. The roosters will be used for coyotes that are invasive species where we live and affect all the other populations that feed us.

“Can we…can we watch? It’s just, Sprinkles, he’s…he’s a really bad dog. Dumb as a post, humps everything and everyone, snaps at you if you try to pet him. I’d really like to see a tiger just go to town on this awful, awful dog.”

Maybe don't keep animals captive if you need to petition people bring their pets for food. Wtf. Zoos are a mistake.

this is so fucked why are people so okay with this? a pet is part of a family, it's a responsibility, if theyre in the state they can be rehomed then rehome them!! half of my pets have been rescues and I've rescued hamsters too. they have so much more life in them than this! dont let them get eaten by a fucking tiger oml. these animals should be in an environment where this is not a necessity to ask the public for their pets to feed them!! most people debating this probably feed their pets biscuits and bread. I'm sure a predator like this is dying for a McDonalds ass version of its diet

I've been vege since I was 16 and this has really thrown me with how people on here are so okay with this. life shouldnt be subject to your disillusions :(

Can't the prisons just donate some unwanted scum?

Wow, I didn't think there would be so many crazy psychos in the comments.

I can get that people might not feel as much empathy with animals than humans (get, not approve) but most of the comments are kitten-drowning level.

You get a pet, which is supposed to be a companion and basically part of your family, and you don't mind them being torn to shreds?

Okay then, I guess if your kid has a terminal cancer we can also feed him to the tiger? After all in the end it's just a bunch of meat.

Yeah some of these comments were just disgusting. Do better Lemmy

Not gonna lie, I'm borderline getting used to extremism and antisocial behaviour on lemmy. This place feels like 4chan that hates 4chan. The wake-up call for me was when I was arguing against killing everyone on earth because of how shitty the people are, saying that some of us very much enjoy the life. Got downvoted.

I've also seen several calls for genocide against Jews. Pretty ironic for a platform that so loudly hates the current genocide.

What did you expect from the platform that was created because reddit banned extremists? Fewer extremists than the place that banned them? Why?
