I work in a psych hospital and torturing or killing animals is considered significant enough for a child to be admitted. It shows an extreme lack of empathy. These kids can be helped, of course. They’ve usually experienced some trauma, and therapy can make a huge difference, especially if started early. Without…

I guess I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that zoos in El Salvador don’t have rigorous health and nutrition standards.

people are the worst, hippos are the best

This is why animal abuse/murder should be treated as severely as human abuse/murder. Yes, there are points when a person must act in self defense. But cases like this (and others where animals are killed for no reason) certainly aren’t that and must carry punishments necessary to isolate and remove the threats to…

We are a virus on the face of the Earth.

Too bad. Anyone who would viciously attack a caged animal like this is likely a danger to other humans as well.

It’s just bullshit. I hope the people who did this are found and suffer the same way this animal did. Poor guy.

I don’t know, but the world will probably be a better place once we’re extinct

Prediction: it’ll be some young asshole without a job or prospects and a heightened, but baseless, sense of machismo. Some asshole in Vancouver attacked a whole flock of flamingos, whose wings had been pruned so they couldn’t fly away. They caught him later because he was camping in a high fire risk area, with a great…

Yeah that’s about right. Animal cruelty stories always fuck me up, there are so many people who deserve this (not advocating violence just saying... human beings are pretty shitty and there are many assholes out there who I wouldn’t be shed a tear over if this happened to the) and yet a defenseless animal??? with…

It’s terrible to think that Gustavito was so traumatized that he hid himself away for days. RIP.

You’re right. I thought of animals in general (cats, dogs, rabbits, sheep, IDK). The hippo could absolutely have killed its attacker(s) and I’m sad it didn’t.

Like many people, I often feel angry and depressed, fed up with everything, but not once in my life have I felt the need to attack a defenceless animal. People are vile. I don’t get it.

I’m really sad the hippo didn’t show these people what hippos are capable of.

I’m starting to wonder what’s right with people.

I cringed at a lot of Jimmy’s jokes, but I did like his willingness to repeatedly insult Mel Gibson, even when he was standing right beside him.

He’s trash I’m annoyed people were applauding him saying he did a good job

He also made fun of that Asian Woman’s name: Yulree, commenting that her husband “Patrick” had a real name....

What an embarrassment.

That’s because Conservative’s don’t believe the female orgasm exists. You know, like climate change.

Or for the closeted ones:
