Thanks for the link, it was interesting to see how those turtles feed from a scientific perspective, but FUCK the asshole who made the video, clearly getting off on the poor critter suffering by showing the worst bits in slow motion.

Turtles gotta eat, but fucking hell...let's do it for science and not for murder porn.

[–]shmalo 1 point2 points ago*

Seriously. That video made me sick. Holding the mouse by its tail right in front of the turtle? I mean, sure it would have to feed anyway, but you don't have to make fun of the poor mice right before their death.

*actually a rat, as it seems.

Don't think the mouse really cares either way. And how about from the turtles perspective, bet he was stoked that he didn't get yet another frozen meal.

Because that's exactly what they eat in the wild.

[–]viennasausages 6 points7 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is such a stupid argument. If you're keeping an animal in a fucking artificial terrarium that's undoubtedly a tiny fraction of a natural habitat, you lose the right to insist on "natural" behavior. Not to mention, in an enclosed space live feeder animals can seriously injure your pet. (Unless you're chucking mice into a tank of water, in which case nature is still a bullshit excuse).

It seems to me like most people that feed live do so because they find it entertaining. Frozen animals are safer, cheaper, and die humanely at the hands of professionals.

[–]Tarman83 -2 points-1 points ago

Fascinating video, even if it is hard to watch. Lots of disgust in here. I imagine most of you are meat eaters (like myself), do you really think your food is treated and inevitably slaughtered any less horrifically? I think it's kinda fucked up to make a video with slow mos and dramatic music, but this is life; embrace it.

[–]viennasausages -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, yeah. Most meat animals are slaughtered pretty much instantly, not ripped in half and left to either drown or swim hopelessly with their entrails streaming out.

Nature? Give the mouse a fighting chance to run away and I'll call it nature. There's nothing natural about being helplessly thrown into a turtle tank with zero probability of survival. This is still just animal cruelty.

[–]MEGAMOLE 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Thank you. Animals eat other animals. I get that. But this practice and the motivation of the people who do it and clearly get off on it are anything but "natural." This is nothing more than animal cruelty and snuff shit.

I'd rather see this than the facebook bullshit that get upvoted here sometimes. At least this is giving an effort towards being WTF. I feel the point of this gif is that it's half a mouse trying to swim, it's not just a lion eating a gazelle or something boring like that.

See, it completely takes the gross out factor out of this gif when you know that the mouse regenerated itself inside of the turtle and was shat out entirely unharmed!

[–]Lil_Boots1 0 points1 point ago

Even if that were true, which I'm pretty sure it's not since we number mice using toe notches, the amount of blood loss would guarantee his death.

[–]ImGoingToMakeYouMad 2 points3 points ago

First of all: Naturalistic fallacy. It's natural, so its good, herp derp.

Second of all: Being thrown into a tank full of water without any chance of survival/escape from the predator isn't natural. Show me one case of a mouse being thrown into an enclosed tank of water with a turtle in nature.

Ergo, your comment is stupid.

It wasn't ripped in half while still conscious and probably drowning either. I'd have less of a problem with it if they were fish or this was a terrestrial animal. This is just sadistic.

Screw the owner for feeding it a mouse. They will eat pieces of raw dead meat in captivity, such as steak. It's a turtle, not a snake, it doesn't need live bait (in fact most domesticated snakes will eat heated humanely killed mice). And before everyone says "herp derp natural habitat, it happens in nature, blah blah" that is TRUE, however that's a domesticated mouse, and that would be like taking Fluffly your lovable house cat and pitting it up against a pack of wolves. Good Luck.
