This is why I think that animals are superior to humans

[ruben6f]

I hate people like you, who makes themselves look like idiots. That statement insults me and my entire family. I could write an entire essay but I just have one point, if your going to select a random loser and say they represent the entire race, then that's just unfair. Also animals are usually unpredictable and attack out of instinct they don't rationalize situations like humans do, because guess what a fox and dogs maul small children (babies and toddlers) when they obviously pose them no threat.

I'm surprised you think that animals are "superior" than humans because if you were dropped in a middle of a lion pride, none of them would fight your rights they'll just eat you, when they got hungry. A shark never pauses to think about the effect its having on the environment and while animals accomplish great things, nothing surpasses the human race.

So I pose you a question and to anyone else, do you think that 'you' are better than an animal? What about Einstein, Lincoln, Luther-King, Tesla, or any other great human being, are they superior to animals? Does the animal kingdom have a heroes like these?

If your answer is yes, to any of these than you have issues because you can't let acts of human stupidity outweigh all that we have accomplished. Stop putting yourself down we're better than that,

Lions wold eat you because they are hungry, they want to survive and in order to do that they must eat, they eat meat and you are meat it's simple.

There are many stories of animals that saved humans (both trained animals and wild animals).

Animals aren't racist and don't need to accomplish anything besides trying to survive in a world that we humans are killing.

And yes I am an idiot I think I made it clear that all humans are idiots.

I only three words for this and three words only: WHAT THE FUCK!?!?
Seriously what in the name of hell is wrong with those people???
I think the only suitable punishment for that would be to set them on fire. That would learn 'em.

Humans are animals.

Hey, that's an insult to respectable animals everywhere!!

 

[Commissar Sae]

I would beat the ever loving crap out of those kids if I saw them doing that. But does the fact that some people are monsters doesn't mean that animals can't be viscious and cruel. There are plenty of animals that kill maim or injure just for the hell of it.

There are plenty of good things about mankind too though and lumping everyone in it together does disservice to the better elements of humanity.

 

[BrassButtons]

I think that these kids are monsters and should be punished

Absolutely agree.

I also think that animals like the poor dog in the video are superior to humans.

I don't torture animals--what is your reasoning that I am inferior to other animals?

Because no animal wold do a thing like that to a human, animals don't hurt a human for no reason

No creature does anything for "no reason"--including the people who tortured that dog. Is torturing a dog because you're psychotic (severe animal cruelty being one of the hallmark signs of psychopathy) any better than murdering infants because you want their mother to go back into heat and have your babies instead (lions), committing rape because its the best way to pass on your genes (dragonflies, some ducks), swarming and killing people because they happened to walk to close to your home (killer bees), killing members of another species on sight because who knows why (dolphins), or eating another creature alive because it's just easier (many many species, but the mice eating an albatross alive is the image that comes to mind currently)?

Animals like that dog don't even know why they are being tortured

If the dog had been bitten by a bot fly he wouldn't understand that either. The tarantula doesn't understand why the larva are eating it inside out. The 5 year old in Mozambique doesn't understand why malaria is killing him.

If the victim not understanding is what makes it cruel, then all of nature is cruel.

But tell me: how many animals get outraged when they see a member of another species being mistreated? Hell, how many get outraged when a member of their OWN species is mistreated? How many animals go out of their way to care for members of their species and other species? How many animals ponder the morality of killing for food? How many animals show the same capacity for kindness and generosity that humans have?

But yeah, seriously, dolphins are animal lovers' dirty little secret. You'd be amazed at the shit they do for fun.

Chimpanzees are even worse. Vicious, sadistic bastards.

Chimps would attack humans who would come and feed them, these little hairy bastards.
I am pretty sure cracked made an article about animals who are huge assholes and who make humans look like saints.

EDIT:

Have you heard of lions saving species? Maybe wasps? Jellyfish? No? Well humans keep trying to save many types of animals who are on verge of extinction. The same animals who would not think (lol animals who can think) twice before eating the last panda on Earth because they of their instincts.
Alright fine, maybe they will rape the panda before eating it.

 

[BrassButtons]

And yes I am an idiot

Then what makes you think your stance is correct? Not poking fun, mind--this is an honest question. Once you've said "I'm an idiot" what reason is there to trust your own judgement?

 

[JB1528]

Dolphins, Killer Whales, Hyenas, and Chimpanzees, are all known to torture and kill other animals for sport.

So learn before you say some bullshit that makes you sound like an uninformed hippie.

 

[martin's a madman]

At least it seemed like it died fairly quickly.

I rarely get angry, but I found myself getting mad watching that.

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Ever heard of Ichneumon wasps? They paralyze certain worms and then lay their eggs in them. The worm keeps on going but when the eggs hatch the larvae start eating the worm from the inside. It's not a pretty death.

I'm pretty sure they do that for reproductive purposes though, not just for the hell of it...

...and are worms even advanced enough to feel pain???

OP: I'm not gonna lie, I didn't watch the video... I don't need proof that humans are assholes...

And I'll agree with you, animals are better than humans...

...lets face it, the world would have been better off without us!

 

[Ddgafd]

Oh OK, so you won't mind when I leave you in a building to be burned alive while I rescue my cat?

I don't get your logic. Over 6 billion people damned because of four(?) stupid kids?

 

[zehydra]

Yes, there are animals that do what they do because they want to. You underestimate the free will of these creatures.

Now, the thing that sets humans apart from animals (not making us 'better', mind you) is that we classify that as rather cruel while the wasp doesn't know any better.

#that is the thing. So far morality is a human invention. The OP is applying human standards of behaviour to animals.

I agree! WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK WAS THAT?!

That's...that's just horrible, how could they laugh like that?! That dog did nothing to them and they just did that for shits and giggles?! Just, AARGH!!

That's the worst thing I've ever seen. EVER! Now I'm all upset, excuse me, I need to go hug my dog now.

Hyenas don't kill for fun.

Sick kids like them are what give humanity a bad name, and I respond with wanting to do the same or worse to them, giving more reason for people to agree humans (and various other intelligent creatures) are quite sick.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

psychotic (severe animal cruelty being one of the hallmark signs of psychopathy)

Small correction here... If you have psychopathic disorder you're a psychopath. Psychotics are people with a psychosis.

Of course cruelty to animals is a sign for several mental illnesses, mostly ones that combine limited empathy or disassociation with impulse and/or emotional control problems. Hell, it's even a marker for some segments of the autistic spectrum.

 

[Windupferrari]

Yeah, set those fucker on fire. But to restore everyone's faith in humanity, check this story out:

Lions wold eat you because they are hungry, they want to survive and in order to do that they must eat, they eat meat and you are meat it's simple.

Lions also kill Cheetah's because they don't like them. Hippopotamus attack crocodiles for absolutely no reason, going out of their way just to irritate them. Chimpanzee's war over territory, and a lot of animals rape the other gender to spread their DNA - sometimes killing them in the process.

It's very easy to say humans are evil, but humans also do all the nice things in the world. A male lion won't show mercy when it enters a new pride - it will kill all the lion cubs that aren't it's own. Humans would most likely adopt.

Humans are animals, and with our great intelligence and power comes the ability to cause great evils as well as good. In the end, there are hundreds of conservation programmes out there to save animals who we don't need and some will eat us. We're great really.

in england a pitbull terrier mauled an 8 year old child for no reason and nearly killed it. dolphins attack humans drowning in the sea and mate by gang-rape. monkeys mug people in asia and the only reason that animals dont laugh is because they dont have the right vocal chords to laugh by our standards. thats like giving a mute child a reward for not yelling when the rest of the class is. and the monkeys dont laugh, but they do express pleasure in it, and might actually be laughing but we dont recognise it.
and humans arent only cruel, Penny Arcade set up a charity to give toys and video games to sick teenagers all over the world, and then theres all the other charities like Oxfam, WaterAid, WWF etc. plus they invent ways to make life better for other humans.
have you ever seen/heard of a pack of wild dogs try to ram a whale back into the sea? no. have you ever seen/heard of a group of humans try the same? yes.
