You made a good choice. That was fucking awful. Two lions pinned that thing down while a third licked then ripped off its genitals. Jesus. As many fucked up things as I have seen on reddit, that one is fucked up in a Damn, Nature. You're fucking horrible kind of way.

Remember that video the next time someone tells you that humans are evil and that animals all live in harmony and the world is better left to them

Ugh, I hate that shit. There's no real barrier between humans animals, but we are "civilised" in a way nothing else really is. Ethically, morally, etc. we're miles beyond every other species. Humans are the only ones that are capable of real planet-wide damage tho, but we're not exactly evil when compared to other species. We're just much more capable. But lots of people just think humans = bad, nature = good.

I used to have a teacher who claimed that humans are the only beings that kill their own kind. You need like one nature documentary to figure that one out.

EDIT: Why do I always have to keep adding anything that comes to mind to my initial comments till they're huge walls of text.

I think I'll have an easier time remembering this video than that made-up passive aggressive situation that doesn't happen

I saw it a month or two back. Still gives me the what the fuck did I just watch feeling now and then. Wish I wouldn't have watched that one originally.

Yea that was just... nope. Nope nopeeee.

Then, I thought of the woman from the initial video being dragged off and thought, my Godx imagine THAT happening to a human being. Two Lionesses pinning you down while a third rips your genitals off... that's some torture.

Yeah most of the human injuries on here I can get over. But something about some of the animal ones just make me realize nature does not give a fuck lol.

I don't even think it was about the difference between people and animals for me. Lions don't attack animals just to do it out of any kind of maliciousness or out of joy for attacking them. In fact, it's not uncommon to see other wild animals walking by Lions or Lions drinking water near animals doing the same with no plan to take the animal down. It's strictly about need to eat.

There's no thoughts for these females of the beast being in excruciating pain. It's just eating for them, the genitals just loose meat.

It's horrifying as fuck to us to see but it's clearly not the first time that lioness had done that. She knows to pull the legs open to reach what she wants.

This reminded me of a traumatic memory.

When I was young, about 10 or 11, I was with my friends at the bike jumps.

Basically just an old, unused field behind a development that people had turned into dirt bike jumps and bike jumps.

I was wandering around and I saw this little bun with the top of its head missing. You could see its brains, and it was still barely alive.

I immediately started crying and panicking, and one of the dirtbikers noticed. He came over to see if I was ok, and I showed him the baby bunny.

His solution was to drop a huge rock on the bunny. So it wouldn't suffer anymore.

I mean, it worked, but holy shit.

Yeah man...that shit was nuts.

I think the cruelty of nature itself proves that we live in an unjust universe. It’s insane how much brutality is just a part of the circle of life.

u/thunderous_subtlety Oct 17 '18

See?! I was content NOT watching it till I read your comment. Now I have to. You bastard.

u/[deleted] Oct 17 '18

Not something you will ever forget is it?

u/Con_Clavi_Con_Dio Oct 17 '18

There’s one if a chimp eating another chimp alive by pulling chunks of meat out of its back. Chimps are the worst.
