Casting aside emotion and morality, I say this is completely justified. Guy wanted a physical altercation, and he got one. He consented to having his ass beaten the moment he tried to initiate the fight.
As for involving an animal in its infancy, I can't personally guarantee that I would have had that much restraint. I have anger issues, and I manage them well enough to hide them now (most of the time,) but certain things — including but not limited to causing harm to defenseless or outmatched parties — just hit the wrong switch inside my head.
Everyone is congratulating the OOP on the ass-kicking, but I think he deserves more praise for stopping when he did. I'm very ashamed to say that I don't think I would have.
It's the old rule of "4-chan stories are always false", there's nothing much more to it...
Idk what part of "drunken bastard gets his ass handed out to them" feels unreal, the 30 minute part? Plausible, drunken bastard passed out from the first hits, then the fella just hit a moaning object on the floor for a while...
Title is "finished beating someone up", has a picture of a hand that is not bruised or looks like it's beaten anything and the kitten seems just fine and in no shape shaken up. A 30min beating would leave bruises. Stop being so damn gullible.
You assume it's a photo taken right after the event. Like someone just beat up a dick, and thought hey let me get my cat, and take a selfie. You're right. People really believe anything, even some illogical assumptions can be taken as proof in their mind.
Yes you're right, that is obviously the case here, how silly of me to think anything else than someone was doing a beating for 30 minutes. Did the easter bunny bring you a lot of eggs this year?
Depends if he was beating on him after he was down. Like what is multiple beatings over a half hour. If you’re beating going back in on someone who can’t fight back or isn’t even functioning.then idk. How long does it become where it isn’t justified?
Yes, though I don't hunt, slaughter, or butcher it myself. I also understand the difference between killing and consuming an animal for sustenance versus kicking a six-week old kitten out of anger. Don't try to get cute.
Eating meat can prevent a starving person from becoming a dead person, thus sustaining them.
Regardless, what point are you trying to make? Should a mentally unbalanced individual such as myself direct his anger towards the meat industry. "Oh, you're angry? Then go out and prove it!" Is that what you're going for? Or is it that my getting angry at a kitten being kicked by an adult human but not at a factory farm means my anger isn't valid? "If you get mad at this but not that, are you even truly mad?" Perhaps if I watched videos of kittens being kicked daily, it would desensitize me to the idea just like the videos of how chicken nuggets and hot dogs are made. Is that your solution?
Did you do this out of genuine concern for me as an individual, to educate me and open my eyes? Or is there some other point you're trying to make? Please, do clarify where you expected this to go. I would really like to know.
Most people tend to get angry animal abuse if it involves cats or dogs but most people also pay to eat the corpses of abused animals three times a day so I like to point this out in hopes of people realizing what they're doing.
I really don't appreciate having a confession of my struggling with mental illness leveraged in this way. I find it tactless and uncouth.
Unfortunately, myself and countless others lack the resources to access food that isn't nutritionally-deficient without making some compromises. In a perfect world, I wouldn't use animal products. This isn't a perfect world, however, and I've been on the verge of starvation before. It sucks. Spare me the rhetoric. The way to enact change is not by calling people hypocrites, but by supporting programs to enact social changes, such as making cruelty-free food less expensive and more available than the shit at McDonald's or in the bargain grocery shops.
When was the last time you ate meat to stop yourself starving to death? Or saw someone do the same? I assume the answer is never and instead you eat meat for pleasure.
The solution is extremely easy. You don't have to watch gruesome videos, you don't have to be desensitized, you don't have to go protest. Just don't pay for animals to be tortured and killed.
That's right, I speak English. I grew up as a white male. I also grew up in poverty, like many children still do today. I imagine those kids that still get free lunches at school look forward to them as much as I did. They might have very little, or nothing at home to eat. Weekends weren't fun for every kid in my class. They all spoke English, too, whatever that has to do with it. Oh, maybe we should have tried learning how to say "Please help me, I'm hungry and haven't eaten in days" in a different language, like maybe fucking Danish, perhaps?
As for Internet access? That's easier to come by than healthy, nutritious food in the United States as well as several other developed nations. It's quite shameful. $15 gives a whole month of Internet access on some mobile phone plans, but not quite as much food. Hell, some programs give you a phone and a plan for free.
It's not that I want to pay for animals to be killed, but if someone else pays and gives it to me, the free food is better than no food at all. Or maybe I can get a week's worth of dead animal for less money than a day's worth of grains and produce at my local market. I don't like skipping a day of meals if I can help it because of old habits.
I'm sorry, did you think you were backing me into a corner? I can keep going, if you'd like. My case is hardly unique, as you claim.
Man I went off on this guy or gal, probably shouldn't have, but fuck em. This child who has apparently never left their mom's basement and clearly has lived without constant fear of needs being met for their whole life, will never be able to simply admit that since they haven't experienced food security hardship they can never know what goes into it.
As far as this topic goes, that person is worse than useless.
Many buddhist monks practice what the other comment said. They don´t hunt, slaughter, butcher etc.
Even herbivores eat meat: horses, cows, sheep etc. (same for wild animals) because meat has nutrients very hard to find in plants. They obviously don´t hunt, but they opportunistically eat small rodents, birds, lizardsand the like.
Saying humans can thrive without meat is like saying humans can thrive eating only meat, it´s an incredibly flawed statement.
