I drowned some ants when I was a little kid in our backyard because I was scared of them and also curious. My neighbor told me to think about what I did. I was mortified. I'm a vegan now.
Kids need to learn that kind of empathy. Although I don't think I would have ever thought about about ripping limbs from frogs.
When I was six, I was fishing with my father and uncle in a boat. We got a fish, and my uncle swiftly killed the fish immediately. I asked why he did it, it would've died anyway.
He said something along the lines of "All life should be respected enough not to let it suffer" and nothing else. A useful lesson that changed my view on suffering of animals. The man was later listed as one of the 10 most sought after criminals in my country, but I take the good and leave the bad.
This has the same energy as the jumper cables guy
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
We can have solace that he applied the same philosophy to all his victims
Tell me it wasn't violent crimes.
Nah, white collar crime. I think he ended up on the list mostly because it's relatively unusual for people to both be convicted and manage to avoid getting caught.
I was horrible to animals as a kid. I teased the neighbourhood cats so much. I once put salt on a snail just for fun, without knowing it would die a gruesome death with just one grain of coarse salt. I'm vegan today...
I wasn't very nice to plants as a kid. I would often pluck wood sorrel off the ground and eat it right there. I once burned a hole in a leaf using my glasses. I'm a meat eater today.
Dunno why you're being downvoted, that's hella funny
tee hee! downvote
I wish I could upvote and downvote you at the same time.
I once ate 10 live ants as a kid and I'm vegan now too, just thought that was interestingly similarish
Eating ants has leads to veganism
I used to burn ants with magnifying glass with my friend. We also melted the limbs of those tiny green plastic soldiers and made 10-limbed monstrosities. Good times.
Ants are bastards though, frogs don't hurt you :(
Ants are nature's cleaning robots they're amazing
They also crawled all over and bit me when I was a child, so I had very little qualms with shoving a stick in their pile and pouring glue down it when I was like... 10
They are pretty cool though
Little bastards gave me warts. And gonorrhea.
Shouldn't have fucked the frog then.
What is the point of life, then?
You only need to kiss the frog to figure out if it's a prince though.
I just uhhh wanted to make sure...
