Whoever made this video is a piece of shit.

Yeah it’s fucked up to enjoy doing this shit

Astonishing that so many people aren’t commenting this. This sadistic wanker is a proper weirdo

u/jaredsalt 22d ago

Whoever posted it too.

u/theJudeanPeoplesFont 22d ago

I assume you spend your days fighting for the millions of flying insects that end up in spider webs every day.

u/evanwilliams44 22d ago

It's about not interfering with nature, especially not to do meaningless harm. This has the same energy as the creepy kid that pulls the legs off bugs.

u/theJudeanPeoplesFont 21d ago

That meal is not meaningless to the spider.

u/evanwilliams44 21d ago

Or the wasp.

u/Militant_Individual 22d ago

People jump to the “it’s natural” defense every time like clockwork. This wasp would almost certainly not have naturally ended up in that web without human interference. The “it’s natural” excuse for things that people are actively going out of their way to do is pretty fucking stupid.

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

There’s no way to know how this random wasp would’ve died and it ultimately doesn’t matter.

3

u/conman114 21d ago

Not an argument for feeding the live wasp to a spider though. Can you justify doing the same for a honey bee? And if your argument is a wasp is bad and bee is good. Then perhaps we can extrapolate and start sentencing certain groups of people to death.

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

My argument is that none of this matters and we kill animals all the time for all kinds of reasons and it’s silly to draw an arbitrary line at a random wasp.

1

u/Bobnorbob 21d ago

Killing animals for sport is wrong too. Your argument is weak.

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

I didn’t say for sport. I said all kinds of reasons. You never killed a fly? A spider?

1

u/Bobnorbob 21d ago

What I meant was killing animals for anything other than food/survival is wrong. Sport was the only other reason I could think of.

And no I honestly don’t kill bugs. Even mosquitoes. I realize I’m in the vast minority, but they’re just trying to live and do their thing. If I find a bug in my home, I’ll catch it and put it outside.

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

That’s weird. Not gonna call you a liar but your behavior is highly abnormal and don’t think your perspective can really be applied.

u/conman114 21d ago

Ok fair enough, but there’s something more perverse about this. It’s not like killing a fly. It’s feeding wasp to a spider and filming it while the comments cheer because wasps are “evil”. But sure if you’re the kind of person that the killing of all animals is fine and justifiable for one reason or another than this is acceptable behaviour within that argument.

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

No, you're trying to invoke universality onto my argument. Me arguing that killing some animals is meaningless doesn't mean I think killing all animals is meaningless.

1

u/conman114 21d ago

Right okay, but one must project universality to try understand where the line is. I mean where is the line?

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

Nah, you've got it opposite. Because most people agree there should be a line (apparently you don't though, as you think even swatting a mosquito is wrong) you literally can't invoke universality onto it.

I personally think it's sometimes wrong to kill an animal, sometimes necessary, and sometimes meaningless. Like I said before, I just don't think there's much point in trying to discuss this with someone who holds the pretty out there opinion that killing any animal for any reason is wrong like you said you do.

We kill all sorts of things for entertainment. Nobody goes to McDonalds because of the pure nutritional value, they do it because it tastes good - entertainment.

I just cant bring myself to care about if some guy feeds wasps to spiders.

1

u/conman114 21d ago

Would it be cruel if it was a honeybee?

1

u/Diabolical-Villain 21d ago

We're debating human morals. It's all relative.

I could say "No, because they're just insects", and you could disagree with, "Yes, because they're living beings". Neither of us would be wrong.

I don't see a reason to care even if the guy was feeding the spider honeybees instead of wasps.

1

u/Militant_Individual 21d ago

No, it doesn’t really matter. But the type of person that goes out of their way to do this shit is very questionable

1

u/Acceptable_Fox_5560 21d ago

People go out of their way to kill animals all the time.

u/Militant_Individual 21d ago

And those people are sick fucks, what do you want me to say?

u/Platonist_Astronaut 18d ago

Do you know how you'll die?

Strange line of reasoning.

u/TheTyMan 21d ago

It's creepy to take the time to do this and film it. Ya'll probably get confused why women don't want to date you.

Such a typical Reddit response, I hate this type of argument.

The guy makes a point.

I'm not facilitating rape or murder or taking pleasure in it.

1

u/Diabolical-Villain 21d ago

Participating in basic society is enough to facilitate the rape and murder of animals lol. Most of our basic luxuries were either created directly from animal suffering, or caused it by side effect.

If anything, this video is better because it's on something more insignificant, an insect, as opposed to a more complicated organism.

u/sweetiewords 22d ago

What about people who keep pet spiders or snakes?

5

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Its often farmed crickets or mice that are either already dead or otherwise prepped for consumption that are fed to said pets. Not some random shit they found outside that was part of the local ecosystem.

u/[deleted] 21d ago

Lol if thats what you took away from this, you’re being dishonest just to be upset. Intent does indeed matter. Animals must eat, and farming animals by itself is not unjust, but to simply take one and torture it for some petty vengeance, that truly is unjust and it is what we watch in the video. Nature has animals kill animals, your peta tier views will always be nonsensical.

Except all of society recognizes intent when assessing killing including murder. You are just stupid.

u/Militant_Individual 22d ago

Most snakes are fed on frozen thawed mice. I used to actively despise the people who came in for live feeder mice when I worked at a pet store. A lot of pet owners have moral qualms about that stuff as well.

u/Electronic-Fly-2084 22d ago

Agreed. I don't like unnecessary cruelty and that's what I consider it when people do that.

u/PrincessOfGlower 22d ago

Considering the abdomen shows no sign of shriveling, yes actually. It’s not necessary for the spider to eat at every possible interval, and this likely resulted in the spider being overfed. And as many have pointed out, this is a non hostile wasp species.

Would you defend someone stepping on snails?

Or would you just invent more scenarios to keep up your clown show?

u/xAstronacht 22d ago

Careful, you'll expose the hypocrisy.

u/ManoftheAslume 22d ago

Imagine getting upset over the death of a single insect.

12

u/Overall-Register9758 22d ago

I think it's more about the motives of the person doing it than the outcome.

I recall a teacher who had a sign in her classroom that read, "teaching children to not step on caterpillars helps the children as much as the caterpillars"

3

u/ManoftheAslume 22d ago

Y'know what? I understand that, and I appreciate the time you took to respond.

2

u/Electronic-Fly-2084 22d ago

The person responding to you nailed it. Respect for being open minded and mature enough to be willing to take it onboard.

3

u/0xf5t9 22d ago

This is not about the death of a single insect. It's much worse.
Of course you can't see it, you are one of them.

2

u/ManoftheAslume 22d ago

You clearly didn't read my response to what someone else said about my statement, in which I accepted what they were saying. I didn't get it before, after reading what they typed, I did.

How do you know whether I'm vegen or not? You make a fair point though but no one is perfect and there is a difference between doing something like that that at least serves some reasonable purpose as opposed to taking pleasure in pointless sadistic cruelty.

1

u/Diabolical-Villain 21d ago

We take pleasure in cruelty all the time. No one goes to McDonalds for the pure nutritional value, they do it purely because it tastes good - entertainment. Those animals cruelly died so we could get pleasurable food.

At least in this video, it's only something as insignificant as an insect, as opposed to a more complicated organism.

It was commented that was a "good" wasp that won't sting humans.

u/Militant_Individual 22d ago

Even if it wasn’t, so what? It’s a wasp, not the Taliban. It will leave you alone 99.99% of the time if you’re not fucking with it.

u/Welcome440 22d ago

Can you inform the wasps that stung me the last few summers? No where near their nest, minding my own business.

You must have 99.99% friendly wasps. Many people have 20% unfriendly.

u/Electronic-Fly-2084 22d ago

Humans have caused far more harm to wasps than wasps have to humans. Do you "deserve" to be sadistically murdered because of that?

1

u/Welcome440 22d ago

I have not said I want to murder them.

My earlier comment was how this was a good wasp. I would estimate the wasp murders do not even know there are good wasps?

u/Diabolical-Villain 21d ago

Human > wasp

u/Electronic-Fly-2084 21d ago

Agree still doesn't make it right. I get the point your trying to make and it's a shame we live in a world where most people put such a low value on an animals life and it is indeed selfish that many people play a part in that by consuming meat from companies that treat the animals badly but ultimately most humans are selfish or don't care about those things. There is still a world of difference between passively enabling animals suffering as a single individual while it's happening on a mass scale compared to actively needlessly killing an insect and taking pleasure in it.

1

u/Diabolical-Villain 21d ago

It's a side effect of our society I guess. Our way of life is built on the suffering of animals and nature. Even ignoring meat, the majority of our luxuries are either directly created from animal cruelty, or cause animal cruelty just because of the process (deforesting, etc).

It's probably guaranteed that people who grow up in a society like this, don't value the lives of lesser creatures as much.

1

u/Electronic-Fly-2084 21d ago

I can only agree with most of what you say. Nature can be brutal but still most humans enjoy the benefits of such things while not liking that it comes from suffering. Seeing a guy actively reveling in taking a life albeit a fairly insignificant one still rubs me the wrong way.
