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?
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.
I would argue the moment of anger bit wasn't valid or rational.
I don't think you should be giving anyone advice.
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.
Please guess what "tribe" I am from
What about this was "random?"
“ 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.
Again, purposeful pest removal is not "random."
That entirely depends on why you are killing these animals. If you are just killing rats or seagulls outside your home, that is random killing.
Sure, but nothing about it was RANDOM.
What do you think random means?
What do you think random means? Dude's not just walking around punching any bird he sees. There was a very clear cause and effect.
Again Im talking about the French guy I replied to not the person in the article.
Then why were you talking about seagulls as well as rats?
As I've stated repeatedly, it's not random either way. SPECIFIC pests are being targeted.
Can you explain what you think is "random" about either scenario?
Because the other poster is talking about both.
The fact specific animals, not pests, are being targeted isn't a factor. If I kill an animal just gecause it is a random killing.
A rat that isn't in your home or your eating your crops is not a pest. It is another animal and killing it because you see it on the street is a random killing.
So, the French person has pests in their home, and they and their cat are targeting those pests.
The guy with food in his hand was having that food stolen by a pest, and he exterminated that pest.
Those both really fit your criteria for pests. Gull guy did not target the bird because he saw it on the street, but because it was directly threatening his food.
The French person talked about killing them outside their home.
The guy in the article lost a french fry while eating in the space seagulls live. The only pests there are humans.
Was seagull guy going to starve because he lost a single french fry? No, he wasn't. He killed a seagull because he's a piece of shit. If you don't want seagulls to eat your food maybe don't eat in their home.
Both were examples of random completely unnecessary killings and it is messed up that you think this is ok. If a kid was killing animals just because we would place them in therapy.
OK, so your reading comprehension is trash and you just want to get mad at people. Just go be miserable by yourself.
Bye.
This is a really useful line of argumentation.
