is it more moral to
1. let it live
or
2. kill it?
give reasoning
Morality test
nature will take care of it
Kill.
It's not human, hence there's no need for it to keep suffering
I take care of it myself
Regardless of what my answer is, I just feel sad and powerless because of my inability to help every suffering little animal on this vast planet.
I would expect someone to kill me if I was in that bad of shape.
Looks like this little guy just has some cob webbs on his face though
Let it live.
If anything you should help it.
Naturally, nature will fix itself. If it only has half its vision / function, a predator will eat the weak. If the bird is able to adapt with its weaknesses, it will live.
just how it is my dude
Not my problem
insane question, I probably wouldnt even notice it as I walked by, and if I did I would do nothing.
i may think “wow it’s amazing the robin was alive with a head like that” nothing more
No question, kill it and put it out of it's misery. I had to do this with a birdie with a broken wing once. It was in absolute agony, I'll never forget it's screams. Wing was absolutely fucked up. Dropped a bag of potting soil on him.
If you had the capability or time to deal with it, it would be good to help it and see if it could be healed. If not then I think it would be better to put it out of its misery. The idea that "nature will take care of it", as others have said, is indeed true. But that applies to everything, including humans. If a human has lung cancer then eventually "nature will take care of it" and they'll die an excruciating death. But would I want to go through that? No. I'm fine with applying the same logic to an animal that I would apply to myself.
You probably did the right thing, anon. Bless your untainted soul; it's a virtue to have in this rotten world
Let it live. I figured out how to restore it. Eye included.
its a bird get over it
Neither.
Give him some food, water and sanctuary for a few days.
If he comes good and can look after himself, great, if not, that's life, something will eat him and get sustenance from him.
Probably the chink next door LMFAO
Just dust it off already. Might need to be taken in for a few days, appears a bit weakened at first glance.
so according to your logic we should take away medicine? just let nature take its course?
Extremely based and empathy pilled
You will meet the bird again in VALHALLA
No? its like racism
you help a white guy but not a black guy
same thing here
you help a human but not an animal
You should be shot.
glue its head half back on
Why the would I end someone's suffering for free. Not my problem.
Mercy killing. It will eventually die anyway and will just be prolonged suffering..
If I was like that I hope someone kills me too.
kill it
Poor thing cannot be saved and is doomed to suffer in agony until it finally expires.
Better to give it God's mercy - as quick and painless an end as possible.
I have a small farm.
Animals that are badly injured and suffering is something I have seen before.
If they cannot be saved, then better to give them peace.
Even family pets.
It is what it is. Our duty as stewards of the Earth.
you probably eat meat from farms that treat animals horribly so you're not that different
when my birds injure each other they get a pellet to the back of the skull because I don't feel like taking care of an injured bird nor dealing with the bird that injured it doing it again to another. this is not my bird so i keep walking and forget about it. it's none of my business.
Neither. Just move on with your life. It isn't your responsibility. Nature will handle it. Some predator will easily put it out of its misery. Maybe that will be a bigger bird. Maybe it will be a cat or dog. Why deprive them of a hunt and a meal?
F birb
so according to your logic we should take away medicine? just let nature take its course?
Yes, but only in India. They have exceeded their natural boundaries and need to be culled.
Thanks kind-hearted frens
Hey, my balls itch. Can you fix that for me?
This is why consciousness is either an evolutionary mistake or some form of cosmic punishment, depending on your belief system.
To know and to feel empathy for suffering you are powerless to alleviate in any way.
This is hell.
I only see a cobweb on its head. Nevertheless, he has a right to struggle
3. ignore it and let nature take its course.
Kill it. It’s suffering. If I had half my head missing I would want someone to kill me too.
This.
evolution can't make mistakes because it's not a sentient actor and does not have an end goal
shit just is
consciousness is the end result of ever improving processing of stimuli
it helped survival and reprdocution until it produced incels who sit on the internet and complain
fpbp
Even if you cannot help them all, you still help those you can as best you can.
Sometimes, ending their suffering is the only thing you can do.
It is as things are.
Medicine is human adaptation. You're not as smart as you think you are. Also we are going to annex your shithole country.
fpbp
boot it across the fuckin lawn and go about my day
Nevertheless, he has a right to struggle
We have a duty to be good stewards of the Earth.
To be good, useful and faithful servants of God.
That means caring for those we share this world with.
I have had animals I have raised from newborns be either attacked or injured so badly they could not be saved. It happens.
They look to you for help.
I try to comfort them as best I can, tell them they were good and faithful friends and apologize I could not save them.
And then I end them.
It does not happen often, but it does happen sometimes.
A family pet mauled by coyotes, still alive, but dying... looking to you for help.
I will help send you further on with dignity - a good and true friend.
most animals can kill themselves if they really want to
I believe in letting them struggle to their heart's content, that's the reason for life
I do nothing and walk away. It is not mans place to interfer in the works of the lord. I am not in a position to decide it's fate.
IS it miserable? IS it in pain? I don't know the circumstances. Are they capable of supporting their young in that case? if so there may be babies it is taking care of.
It's not a nigger, which is a threat to all life. it's an innocent creature. It has caused no harm.
kill it, it's suffering and can't take care of the problem
Help it get HRT and sexual reassignment surgery.
It's clearly trans and needs gender affirming care.
If it is within your power to alleviate the suffering of any being, then it is incumbent upon you to do so.
God is merciful, but he is also stern.
He does not forgive those who forget that duty.
I would say that no Muslim ever went to heaven.
And no Jew either.
And but a handful of Christians.~
Heaven is by my reckoning, mostly empty.
capture it and put it in a freak show
take it to the vet, let him decide based upon his knowledge of animals what can be done.
The only right answer as long anon here are no vetenerays and have biological understanding of birbs.
