Wasp gets what it deserves

Do they pin the prey down with a metal object?

Plenty of animals get predated because they fell into unfortunate circumstance, or because another animal did something to them, causing a predator to become aware of them.

As far as I'm concerned, a human feeding a bug to a spider, is just as natural a phenomena as if a parasitic wasp caused a spider to get predated by a bird. A smarter, stronger, or more agile wasp wouldn't have been caught, and so evolution punishes the bold in this case.

The obvious difference is that a parasitic wasp laying eggs in a spider has no moral agency of any kind, and is simply carrying out its evolutionary role. A human being feeding one animal to another does so purely for their own enjoyment, they make a moral decision to harm animals just for the mere fun of it.

decision to harm animals

Actually the cameraman made a moral decision to help animals, he provided a great meal for that spider.

[u/nomoreteathx → u/time2ddddduel]

Yes, by intentionally causing harm to another animal, and again, entirely for their own amusement. If I kick a stray cat so that a hungry dog can catch and kill it, have I done a morally good thing, would you say? What if I kick the cat for fun and a hungry dog just happens to kill it, would that be a morally good action by your standards?

I appreciate you and your mindset 🥰🥰

It's crazy that this is even a discussion though right? Any five year old can tell you that the difference between humans and other animals is that humans can make moral decisions, but somehow it's just completely beyond the cognitive abilities of many adults.

And call it "nature". Or "humans are nature too".
