I grew up on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I'm used to dealing with large animals killed by coyotes, old age, and butchering.
But I don't like your attitude towards death. You might not care about snakes and frogs and such. That's fine. But they're neat animals, and it's not childish at all to not want to harm them.
- rdiddly 10y agoIt's about having a good reason. Coyotes gotta eat, nothing lives forever, and a slaughter is a harvest. But killing a snake so you can have a trimmed lawn you don't even want, well yeah, no wonder.
- wu-ikkyu 10y agoIt's also worth noting the value snakes and frogs provide in the population control of other less desireable rodents and insects.
- ianai 10y agoI don't know what you're responding to in the original comment. S/he appears to agree with the article generally.
- M_Grey 10y agoIt's actually the definition of childish disregard and lack of empathy to be amused by, or indifferent to the suffering of animals. It's not uncommon, but it's the sign of a basic failing of character and cognition.
