Do non-humans also create YouTube videos showing off their bravado (or whatever it is) where they knowingly inflict pain and misery on other species?

- zabzonk 3y agodo non-humans have access to YouTube? if they did, there is no telling what they might post there.
- johnnyanmac 3y agoDolphin Youtube would make even Liveleaks blush. also, RIP Liveleaks
- evandale 3y agoOrca TikTok would be a hell of a ride. I'd love to doom scroll the the kid orcas wearing their salmon hats and the adults making reactions videos to their grandkids reviving a dead trend. Or an orca declaring "I'm Donny Rocksville and this is rock the boat!!" before him and all his friends capsize a ship off of Spain.
- wizofaus 3y agoOrca behaviour does seem to indicate they inflict pain/misery on other creatures largely for the "fun" of it. But we don't really know, and certainly don't know whether they're capable of properly understanding that their victims are suffering.
- evandale 3y agoI know we don't know for sure but it there is evidence to suggest orcas may have equal or better emotional processing than humans. In Blackfish one of the most interesting attacks was against a trainer, Ken Peters, who was also a trained diver. The orca seemed to know the limits of the trainer and how long she could keep him underwater. When she brought him up she gave him time to breathe and compose himself before dunking him under again. She could have easily killed him if that was her intent but it didn't seem to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv2_OX4Soeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv2_OX4Soeg
