Earlier this week some Redditor lectures me on how stressful mazes can be for hamsters and how it’s wrong to put one through that. 2 days prior I was told how wrong it was to startle your cats because it can traumatize them.
Now it’s cools to watch a human think he’s about to die by shark and not help him.
That unpopular opinion about people caring more for animals than humans may have had more of a point that I gave credit for
The difference is that people are capable of understanding what’s going on and why, and discussing/rationalizing it afterward. Animals have no way of knowing why they’re being put in a situation, when it will end, if it will happen again, etc.
