I mean, c’mon.

Dude had to know he was doing something stupid. Which means he did it knowing exactly what the outcome could be. So fuck that guy.

I eat chicken. I have pet chickens. I have no issue with feeding already killed chickens to other animals. I have no problem with animals in the wild eating other animals.

But there’s a line. The line isn’t the eating, and it isn’t the killing. It’s how it’s done. You don’t just throw a live animal to a predator in captivity unless there’s no other way. And gators will eat anything, they aren’t some kind of panda or koala with a niche diet.

You don’t do it for entertainment, and that’s what this asshole did.

Now, is anyone required to agree with that opinion? Hell no. Opinions are like assholes; almost everyone has one and they’re all full of shit. But that’s my opinion, and I stand by it.

Sir, you’ve been caught. Would you like to offer aesthetic rhetoric to defend your actions? We need a “Why This Happened” for our consumers.

Hmm. I wanted to feed the animals because of their living conditions… I’m against animal cruelty.

Great! Sounds plausible.

“He just wanted to feed the alligator” and “chickens are liked every year.”

Bitch did you own that chicken? No? Cool then let’s add theft and destruction of property to the list of charges.

What a dumbass.

Just feed him to hungry alligators and be done with it. It’s the most objectively fitting end to the situation.

We are conditioned to ignore the sentience and right to exist of non-human animals. It makes capitalists more money for us to act like animals are morally equivalent to plants.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children. They are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.
