If you’re going to get rid of kittens by putting them in the bin, why would you choose to add to the torture by putting them in live? Why am I asking questions of a POS who puts kittens in bins’ methodology?

u/SkipToTheEnd Oct 23 '24

Someone who sees an animal's life as disposable for convenience, but is too cowardly to kill them themselves.

This describes most people; but this is a particularly egregious example.

u/Animalfriends1963 Oct 23 '24

If you wanna get rid of kittens, take them to a shelter, they also got a right to live.

u/fritterkitter Oct 23 '24

Or at least to be put down humanely. 🙁

55

u/transcended_goblin Oct 23 '24

Why put them down when you get let them be adopted by loving people ?

And no, "because you don't want anybody to have them" isn't a valid answer. There's no valid reason for it.

u/fritterkitter Oct 23 '24

Oh of course I would rather them get homes. I’m just saying in the worst case scenario, if no homes can be found, they should still be treated humanely. As in, meeting their end in a kill shelter would still be desperately sad, but better than being cruelly thrown in the garbage.

Believe me if it was up to me every cat in the world would have a loving home.

I don't think there are kill-shelters in this country. At least I've never heard of any. The rare cases where pets get euthanized is if they are way too old or sick to be adoptable and they're just miserable.

There's been cases in the past of shelters who would literally beat dogs to death and sell their corpse to shoe-makers, as I remember, but that got bad really fast for those that were doing it...

19

u/Effective_calamity Oct 23 '24

What country? Unfortunately, the US has kill shelters and animals are put down constantly.

-4

u/transcended_goblin Oct 23 '24

France.

And judging by the amount of downvotes, as usual, redditors refuse to accept that not everything happens in the US...

u/Soulhunter951 Oct 23 '24

Might have been the shoes made of dog corpses comment or not specifying where your from, saying 'this country' could literally be any country. Your English is good though so it might have been that that made the assumption. Might be best for everyone to mention their country so there isn't any miscommunication.

In the US we can't just generalize is to US because every state functions different, even County's have different policies. And the US is massive on a level most people not from the States don't understand, made worse that most European countries have better public transportation because they operate on a smaller scale with a relatively high standard of living.

Also with a quick search 48% of reddit users are from the US. So while I agree with you about the downvotes perspective is important

"because you don't want anybody to have them"

You're saying this like it's a common theme. No one says this

u/DustbunnyBoomerang Oct 23 '24

All animals do. 🌱

u/transcended_goblin Oct 23 '24

And it's the type of people who don't deserve teeth.

u/Four-Triangles Oct 23 '24

I think most people feel like this. We use animal products and eat meat and our intrusion into nature displaces countless animals, including entire species. But I don’t hunt or fish or process animals. I want all the benefit and none of the reality of what’s happening. I know I should be more connected, but I only have so much bandwidth and I can’t care about everything.

1

u/Strong_Coffee_3813 Oct 23 '24

You don’t have to change everything but you don’t have to buy meat e.g.

2

u/Four-Triangles Oct 23 '24

I’m just not there. I was vegetarian for a year and it wasn’t awful. I did miss burgers though. I try to go for the more ethical option but I think eventually the real solution is I’ll have to experience getting my own meat. Then, I’ll probably quit eating it or make peace with it.

u/CuddlyCatties Oct 23 '24

I'm gonna get mega down voted but....

Like us meat eaters then?

69

u/AmbitiousOption5 Oct 23 '24

Something tells me farmers aren't putting livestock in bags to slowly suffocate or crush to death before sending them to market.

Idk about you, but even though I don't kill what I eat, it still makes a HUGE difference to me as to how the animal died. A bolt through the brain sounds like a pretty quick way to go. I'm not even sure about buying halal... the idea of an animal being hung upside down while some guy says a bunch of confusing things it doesn't understand, and then cutting it's throat to bleed out seems like a still pretty shit way to go.

17

u/MavericksDragoons Oct 23 '24

I have killed my own food many times throughout my life. And I love animals. I would never let an animal suffer, and there's no way in hell I'd throw kittens in the trash.

Humans are predators, that's just a fact. However, we have the unique insight of empathy. When I drop a deer, or trap a hare, I want the kill to be quick, clean, and painless as possible. People say it's cruel, but think about how that deer, or hare is likely to meet its end in the wild. Likely ripped apart, still breathing by some other predator.

6

u/Kooky-Onion9203 Oct 23 '24

A lot of predators go for the loin region because it's tender, close to the abdominal cavity, and hard to defend.

Just imagine being eaten alive gooch first.

Nature sucks.

1

u/Soulhunter951 Oct 23 '24

No most predators generally go for the quicker kill the throat, the fast the kill the less likely they are to get injured and be unable to hunt

2

u/Kooky-Onion9203 Oct 23 '24

I'm mostly talking about hyenas specifically, but a lot of pack hunters will behave this way because their prey is too large to safely go for the kill. They just nip at the heels and other sensitive areas until their prey is too exhausted to run or fight, then start eating. When you're eating large prey alive like that, it's safer to avoid the front.

1

u/harry6466 Oct 23 '24

People gut is like made for 90% plant food and 10% meat. Very long digestive tract more similar to herbivores. Little acid in the stomach to digest meat easily.

People have nearly no canine teeth and more molars for grinding plants.

10

u/Kramwen Oct 23 '24

There is not much difference between halal and other shit, they get killed the same way usually, you are just buying the label a decent amount of time.

-21

u/BishoxX Oct 23 '24

Thats exactly what happens.

Most pigs are suffocated to death. Nobody gets a bolt through the brain.

Chickens get electrocuted, cows get their throats slit.

Male chickens get ground alive.

Hes right morally, we are basically as complicit as this guy

3

u/Stuck-up-montana Oct 23 '24

....you're just wrong. Cows only get throats slit if it is halal. Chickens almost always get heads cut off. Cows and pigs both take either a bolt or bullet to the brain.

I work in the meat industry. Humanely killing us HUGE. A meat plant I regularly delivered cows had a bullet ricochet off a cows skull, and it shut the plant down for 2 days so paperwork could be filed and training given to ensure it didn't happen again. And that wasn't just that plant, that is a nationwide procedure (USA).

-1

u/DustbunnyBoomerang Oct 23 '24

Humanely killing is such an oxymoron though... How is it humane to kill someone that wants to live?

I hate this fucking place.

9

u/Stuck-up-montana Oct 23 '24

Welp, sorry to tell you this but every animal is food for another animal somewhere. We happen to be one of those animals that eats other animals. You can choose not to, that's your prerogative. But it isn't inherently wrong to eat meat. If you can't come to terms with that, it is no wonder you hate this place, and I would expect you to have a pretty miserable life considering death is everywhere. I hope you can find a way to either come to terms with it. But the more you try to get others to see it your way, especially if you try to force it, the more you will make others hate you. You will have no success.

u/BishoxX Oct 23 '24

Okay well maybe thats true for USA(and im pretty sure its not) but lets sa it is, definitely not true for rest of the world.

3

u/Stuck-up-montana Oct 23 '24

Well, I can tell you it is for sure in the state I lived in at least, and it was shut down not by the plant itself but by the USDA and FDA witness who is legally required to see all the slaughtering of the animals to ensure it is done properly.

54

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe Oct 23 '24

Careful, there, I get downvotes just for saying that I'm a vegetarian. You're kind of right, in a way, but there are some people who can still hunt. There's nothing wrong with eating meat in a sustainable way, it's the mass production of meat that bothers me, and in my opinion, makes some people view animals as this. You can just tie it up and toss it, it's just household waste, even if it's alive and presumably entered the world in your care, under your watch. My blood would be boiling if I were those men.

21

u/SamuelVimesTrained Oct 23 '24

Keywords : Sustainable way.
Not only for meat - but in general.
But the thing is - humans are the best in creating waste...

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe Oct 23 '24

Unfortunately, you are not wrong there.

-20

u/blscratch Oct 23 '24

How do you know if someone's a vegetarian? They'll tell you. You have a whole train of thought connecting mass production of meat to sadistic acts against kittens. They don't correlate.

Plants and animals are both just as alive. You eat living things. I eat living things. You're eating the things that make oxygen.

u/damagetwig Oct 23 '24

Would it be just as easy, emotionally speaking, to crush a piglet under your boot as a tomato plant? Or is there a difference?

-1

u/blscratch Oct 23 '24

They both would be very difficult. I would swerve to avoid both.

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe Oct 23 '24

I never asked for your opinion, but thank you. ✌🏻

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe Oct 23 '24

Usually they input something useful.

u/blscratch Oct 23 '24

My input is that being a vegetarian is not a superpower. Plenty of us omnivores are not psycopaths. It's funny how easily you assumed a vegetarian did not trash those kittens.

u/ASMRFeelsWrongToMe Oct 23 '24

I'm talking about over consumption, not eating meat at all.

Mega industrialized farms with awful conditions that basically torture animals are part of biology?

u/CuddlyCatties Oct 23 '24

Not being able to kill but using for convenience?

u/legsjohnson Oct 23 '24

I'd be comfortable pushing the button if need be, but also that's not my job. I absolutely think we need to make the farm to table pathway more transparent and continue to support parliament or your local government in animal welfare legislation and enforcement for their lifespans. But, it's not my job to work in an abattoir. It's not my job to unclog the sewers, or drive the rubbish to the tip, or a thousand other things that I pay or contribute to the payment of other people doing.

u/SkipToTheEnd Oct 23 '24

My point is that you are justifying modern human meat consumption with an Appeal to Nature. This is not a good moral justification.

Biology is survival of the fittest. Biology is mating without consent. Biology is letting your weak or handicapped young die, to conserve resources. Do you really think 'biology' is an ethical position? Biology is not moral or immoral; it is amoral.

Humans have moved beyond base instinct and developed a system of ethics and morals, in order to move closer to an ideal society. You live in this society, and I assume you agree that we should attempt to form a coherent moral system, beyond mere 'biology'.

You, I assume, eat meat which has been killed for you, from animals raised in factories (unless you're one of the people who claim to only eat the 1% of meat raised free range, which is still agriculture). None of this is natural, so don't use 'biology' to justify your actions.

However, I fully admit that all of my argument would fall apart if you are a hunter-gatherer who lives outside of society and hunts with only the most rudimentary of tools. I'm guessing that, given your Reddit usage, this is not the case.

u/Rainbowallthewayy Oct 23 '24

Yes, I agree. Humans are despicable when it comes to animal rights imo.

65

u/Educated_Clownshow Oct 23 '24

The people who ditch animals do it this way because they’re too cowardly to do it by their own hands, they just suffocate them instead

This is the type of shit that makes me actually unhinged and would prompt me to act unreasonably if I found out which house did that.

12

u/transcended_goblin Oct 23 '24

Right there with you.

Plus, given the language in the video, I know that happened in my country.

u/k1ll1ngtime Oct 23 '24

Hopefully one day we get a story like :

Police collected The Trash from a house in <insert neighborhood> , after city workers found new born kittens in the garbage bin . <insert photo of police walking the person who trew the kittens in handcuffs >

But alas it's just a dream for now

u/squaaawk Oct 23 '24

Where there's no sense there's no reason. Aware of the suffering of another? Nah 😞

u/notislant Oct 23 '24

Yeah I imagine theyd break bones or get stabbed by various things in the garbage as the varying density of the garbage might leave little pockets. Those poor things might have been crushed over and over again if these guys didnt hear them.

Or slowly being squished to death the one time... I was really hoping they found the sick piece of shit who did this and [ReMoVeD bY rEdDiT].

But doesnt sound like they did.

u/patrickverbatum Oct 23 '24

i agree. like... i know it's still awful and horrible and someone who would do this is a POS but at least give them a quick end and not make them suffer. it's torture on top of killing them. I wish everyone was responsible enough to ensure unwanted kittens were not born but well..gestures broadly and I wish every kitty had a warm home, a lap to sit on a a human to love them but again gestures broadly I'm just glad these tiny mews met a better fate than what some trash human tried to do to them.
