Mother nature.

I don't know where to put this so I'll just leave it here. I wanted to share my opinion and hear yours.

Recently I watched this video, I will not post because it is gruesome, about a boa that supposedly swallowed a porcupine. You can imagine the rest. And I read all sort of opinions after the video, from people being sad for the snake, to people being happy and insulting the snake for the outcome (ridiculous).

I really don't feel sad nor happy, not for the snake nor the porcupine. I mean that's just the way it is. In nature sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Winning is surviving another day and losing means dying a terrible gruesome deaths. Nature is an ugly b!7<#. What really makes me sad even angry maybe, are those people who dress their chihuahuas and think that's cute. IT'S NOT! Or make extravagant haircuts on their puddles. It's humiliating and degrading for any animal.

I am curious why you think a wild animal can not feel happy or sad, but a domestic animal can feel degraded or humiliated? In my opinion as long as an animal has its basic needs met, it could not care less about a bad hair cut.

Actualy I think all animals feel, stress, comfort, pain, etc... But when your in the wild or almost any situation of destress it comes to a point where one stop feeling pretty much anything and it's pure survival instinct.

What intrigues me the most is not what animals feel I get good, it's people and the response we have for these kind of situations like the one these poor python was in. We are so submerged into modern society comfort that we literally forget what it is like to have a predator or the need to get food to survive. And that is what I think I see reflected in the comments of the video. And that disturbs me and makes me think, people actually think animals have their needs covered like us. And we start treating animals like they eat a porcupine out pure stupidity like they were acting for the next jackass movie or something, when actually the snake was just trying to survive and things went south.
