Enviromental changes have collapsed the sand dunes, the crab can no longer create a shelter to call home. It now must migrate 3000km to find sustainable conditions. This is all your fault, you monster.

Yeah but like.. Would the crab go nicely with some lemon juice?

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Haha, you want to kill and eat the creature. That's peak humor. So original and witty.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So does what ever is causing the crab to be in mortal peril

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Yes, animals kill in the wild ... to survive. But we don't have to, anymore. We can grow crops and delicious legumes that heal the planet instead of further exploiting and destroying it. We have a choice, a conscience and ethics.
Are you identifying with the intelligence and life situation of a sea otter? Do you also commonly ask yourself "What would a octopus do in my place right now"? Are racoons or the great blue heron really good role models?

I am going to catch a cat, beat it to death and eat it with lemon juice. You forced me to do this, you killed this cat

I read this in GLADOS's voice

.33 crabs per megameter

This entire segment was made using clips of 12 different crabs but you didn't notice because you are crab racist.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

But they all look and taste the same.

Haven't you heard about the bucket of tolerance? If you don't pull racists down to the bottom of the bucket, how will you ever get out?

Watching a documentary about cheetahs: hell yeah dude catch that antelope

Watching a documentary about antelope: NOOO WATCH OUT FOR THE CHEETAH

Flashbacks to the delta P video.

First of all, how dare you? Second, solid reference.

Life in animal rehab:

3 crabs come in.

1 dies as you're counting how many crabs you got.

1 other one needs to be euthanized.

The last one you will spend 6 months caring for only to have to throw it back into the sea to the peril that got it sent to us to begin with.

The trick is to take in so many crabs you no longer can focus on them all, just the ones currently alive so it always feels like you're surrounded by live, healing animals.

Animals live in such a harsh world, I don't know how anything manages to live long enough to have offspring. It is the most challenging yet amazing thing I've ever been a part of though!

I've posted the Community pencil video on lemmy so many times, it almost doesn't seem worth searching for it anymore.

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is the reason I could only watch one episode of Our Planet. The amount of animal suffering shown made me feel down for the entire week.

I understand it's important to show the impact the destruction of native environments has on animals, but I can't do anything to change it, so seeing this just made me feel even more helpless.

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There are some options to reduce animal suffering, though

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Of course there is in general, but in this specific case I meant that couldn't do anything but watch these poor animals die on screen.

[–] neaptide@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Does anyone have any recommendations for nature docs that don’t do this? Would love to watch some that don’t make me feel sad for half the episode.

MY OCTOPUS TEACHER
there is life before and after watching it

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I miss great escapes, though more and more I’ve started to feel bad for the predators who wasted so many calories chasing those bunnies only to end up with nothing.

I dunno, I always get hungry for seafood after visiting the aquarium

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)
