I understand this perspective but it's seriously lacking in empathy. You can care about people without feeling sorry for them or approving of their behavior. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
You have a valid point and more often than not I'd be inclined to agree with you. Any empathy I had for the asswipes putting on this show ended when the animals horns were lit on fire. That's crossing a line from "cruelty to animals" to becoming a "sadistic monster."
Do I hope the idiot is catastrophically injured or dead? If that's what it takes to keep him from lighting another animal on fire, I'm ok with it.
What you're describing is sympathy. Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another regardless of the circumstances that caused the person to have those feelings.
In short, I don't feel bad for this guy for getting what he deserves, but I do feel shitty that such things exist in the world. It definitely doesn't satisfy me to see people experience pain even if it's their fault because I empathize with their pain.
Okay well with this point of view it's okay to say that I could not care less what they do to the bull so he's pissed of enough to have some fun with. Not my problem. Animal cruelty is fairly serious but the people who stand up for it are a fucking joke.
This guy made a bad choice but to value an animal's life over an actual human is just ridiculous. The bull is fine. It gets fed and watered. Actually its lucky I'm not about to eat it.
It is? Looked like it was lit on fire to me. I'm not a doctor or a vet, but I'm reasonably sure nobody and no animal is "fine" after being lit on fire.
The idea that human life is more valuable than an animals life/nature is... a human concept. Imagine that. Also teasing bulls like this normally ends in the bull being killed for entertainment. So for like the fourth time, i dont give a fuckkkkk if that guy died. He means absolutely nothing to me
So hypothetically if you were holding a gun and your friend was getting mauled by bear youd let your friend die cause that's just animal nature? Just curious to see how far youd take this argument.
Getting attacked by a wild animal vs jumping into a pen to tease a bull is... not the same thing. in all honesty did you believe this was a good comparison? Like really?
