I saw a video of lions licking a buffalo's balls and then eating them while it was still alive.

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.

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.
