I'm scarred for life... please help *TRIGGER WARNING*

[pulisa]

I didn't purposefully seek it out

But why did you watch the video?

[BlueIris]

Going to respectfully disagree with you there, Whisper, sorry.

Just because other people in the world are monsters, that doesn't mean that I'm prepared to be one. Cruelty only causes more cruelty in the end - we have no knowledge of what might have happened in these people's past. It doesn't excuse what they might have done, but it can act as an explanation.

The best thing we can do is strive as hard as we can to be better people.

sorry Blue

i get upset and triggered when theres animal cruelty cause animals should never die like that ever

the only way some people will learn that its a horrible thing to have happen to them if they have it happen to them

But why did you watch the video?

I didn't realize what it was at first...

[BlueIris]

So, what can you do to make life better for animals?

Not boil them alive

[Carys]

Rubbish answer Toby - how about volunteering at your local dog rescue centre ? (just one example of many many many possibilities) Maybe now aint the right time though, for obvious reasons..... ;o)

[BlueIris]

Hating is a waste of time, Toby. If you want to be an activist, start looking into ways you can actually make a difference.

So why continue to watch? Morbid fascination?

[MyNameIsTerry]

You've been triggered by something nasty. It will pass.

As to whether you should become an activist, that's a different matter.

[MyNameIsTerry]

Do I really need to mention that boiling people alive is wrong? It's absolutely awful, I don't dispute that, but I don't wish these people pain, I just wish they knew better.

@Whisper, please stay kind? It scares me when you speak vso cruelly.

I'm not sure they can use that excuse in today's world. Are their cultures so backward they haven't learned to think beyond 'it's always been like this'?

We could say the same about the attitudes to women and rape in some countries.

We could look back over a few decades ourselves and see how our attitudes to the LGBT+ community have changed. The same for our views of sexual abuse (including children) and racism.

But didn't many still know things weren't right?

It's very emotive so those wishing some karma on them is understandable and less of an issue than the (possibly) ignorant committing the original offence. How many of them know it's wrong but don't care? And what of the laughing? Laughing is not ignorance to me, more psychopathic.

Complicated. If we look back at WWII how many turned a blind eye to mass killings (and to he fair sticking your head above the parapet then could easily mean you had the same fate) and human experimentation? So I agree we have to look deeper to understand why it goes on (and try to stop it). And the UK still needs to stop the abuses within our own slaughter.
