*Video of animals being nice in situation only made possible by humans*

ever see a video of what sea otters do to seals

Reminder that ants literally use chemical warfare suicide bombers while going to war with each other.

Pure what? That's the question. Pure doesn't necessarily mean nice. For a hell of a lot of animals, every single morning has to start with the question: "What am I going to kill today so that I can stay alive?" That's pretty straightforward and direct.

Yes they are pure because they are too stupid to know what they are doing is wrong if they are cruel

Just to make sense, I am quoting the kinds of comments you see on those videos, when in reality animals are super brutal

I once saw a video where a rabbit was run over and another rabbit was by its body, and this dude was hanging around thinking it was sad/depressed.

then the living rabbit started humping the dead rabbit.

Moral right and wrong are human concepts, so they can't be doing something wrong except by our own evaluation. Which is, of course, worthless because we are humans and we don't have the right to decide what is wrong or right among other animals.

Dolphins rape penguins and baby seals.

They're still more pure than humans. You put humans in that same situation and they'll eat each other.

Those videos where animals specifically tear out unborn babies from pregnant animals to eat are so freaking brutal.

Black bear mothers are very protective of their offspring. They safeguard and nurture them for about two years until the children are ready to hunt on their own. A typical litter consists of two or three bear cubs. They are born blind and helpless. The cubs need the assistance of mothers all the time. But if the mother ends up birthing only one cub, we have got a problem at hand. The mother will abandon the cub and move on because raising just one cub isnt worth the effort. The abandoned cub will soon fall prey to predators like wolves, bobcats, eagles, mountain lions, and dog packs.

Merino sheep are commonly found in Spain and North America. Their wool is highly valued. These widely valued animals are also partial when it comes to children. Merino mothers often give birth to twins, and they choose to nurture only one. They will abandon the second one to die and move on. The practice could be an evolutionary response to the low protein value in the region.

These birds are known for having strong family values. The father and mother grebes raise their offspring with protection and affection. The mother even carries the young on her back for a long time. But all these privileges are reserved for the chick that hatches first. Hooded grebes always lay two eggs. They incubate the egg in a floating nest and protects it throughout this period. But as soon as the first egg is hatched, the family will be on their way leaving behind the second chick to die or survive on its own. In the mothers defence, she never intended to have two babies. The second egg was only a spare in case the first one doesnt survive. In rare cases, if both eggs hatch together, the parents will take care of both with equal attention and affection.

Mama harp seals are glued to their pups for the first twelve days after giving birth. They take care of them by feeding them and protecting them from predators. In fact, the mothers do not eat at all during these twelve days. But after that the mother leaves the pup alone in the ice and disappear. While she is off to mate again, the pup is stranded on the ice for the next 45 days. They can't swim until they are eight weeks old. As the children have no means of getting food, they lose half of their body weight. Even though many pups survive this period and go on to hunt their own food, reports say that about 30% of pups die during the first year of their lives.

So pure

"Pure" is a general quote I made up. People on youtube comments basically say that animals have a stronger moral compass than us, like they're so good they must be looking down on us lmao

I mean that all seems fair to me. Nature is brutal and it's not like they can afford housing in this economy.

yeah lmao. Like, go to any youtube video where someone has a well trained animal doing something nice. Everyone in the comments will act like it's just the animal being a great considerate person, and not like it was trained and raised by a human who taught it not to kill stuff.

Animals can be just as cruel as humans are. I mean, Ducks literally rape each other.
