Well, we're animals too, and we can always produce more humans... I know I'd gladly help :p
I don't think you're a heartless psychopath or a bad person or anything just because you said it was cool to watch: I can understand there's something of the "car accident effect" behind it, and we all trace our "empathy lines" up to a certain point. I don't feel bad for the lettuce I eat, you don't feel bad for the mouse the piranhas eat. Now, it'd be really disturbing if you saw a child being fed to the fish and you didn't feel a small bit of repulsion. That'd be unsettling! |

| i dont mind watching that in nature. but artificially creating the situation in order to film it isn't my cup of tea. unless we're talking people, obviously. |

I feel like it was filmed to showcase how fast these things can devour their prey, not just to film it for the lulz.
If they filmed it IRL there would be nothing to see... |

I also agree with this statement.
It just isn't a natural meal, but people have urges to see disturbing things, that is probably the biggest reason this action has happened. I think I might find the same amusement if I let a mouse go running in my room for my cat (that I love) to eat but "mostly" because I love my cat and I know she would get a thrill out of the kill and also it would fill her instinct as a hunter and thus leaving her satisfied. BTW...it really isn't that disturbing to watch compared to what I have seen already but it's my natural desire to be more compassionate towards another mammal in a situation like this. |

Jesus, that's not something I expected to see, lol.
Like Lira said, please link to pics like that, (with a warning), rather than embed them.
Ugh :wtf: |
