Why do people think humans killing each other is a bad thing when animals do the same thing and nobody gives a shit? NOW I'M NOT SAYING I AGREE WITH MURDER, IT'S A GENUINE QUESTION. I will explain. (I will be using lions as an example)

The only known predator for lions are other lions. They have no need to kill each other whatsoever. They don't need to in order to survive(technically) and they don't need to in order to get food.

Lions are warm-blooded mammals and they have feelings and they can learn things, just like humans. They learn from mistakes and they adapt. They have even made up their own language through sounds that come out of their mouths, just like humans. I think that this kind of shows that they have thoughts and maybe a conscience.

Knowing this, human beings do not give a damn if animals kill each other, whether it be for food or for sport. So why do people get so upset when humans do the same thing? It just doesn't make very much sense to me.

man i’m just a little guy

#// animal death #// death #// murder #PFMAODHDH #nah but genuinely idk i think it’s like. we can attribute sympathy to humans easier #like we understand ourselves to be like conscious beings and can accept the fact that #idk stripping someone of their life is stripping them of their will u know idk #like in a different but similar way many ppl find the act of killing pets to be worse than killing a cow #bc we humanise animals that are close to us ig and are therefore able to assign sympathy to them #but i mean also many ppl do feel sympathy for a lion that’s been killed for example #i mean many ppl are vegan or vegetarian or even pesketwrian #and on top of that i think the idea stems less from ‘its okay’ and more from ‘we are aware as humans that murders wrong #‘whereas other animals don’t have that consciousness’ u know #and even so we still demonise animals that kill other animals (think zoos put down dangerous animals etc etc)#it’s just most ppl aren’t in the social spheres that talk about that u know #idk man hot take but murder bad FJSKDHSH #also idk if that made any sense i have heat stroke LMFAODJHSSH #lea.txt
