People deserve to suffer for causing the suffering of others.

this isn’t how our society operates anyway

If you found out how the person who did that to you was doing, how would you feel?

uh… it’s good that people do better for themselves and start making better decisions

Having a neutral third party implement justice is always better than when victims do it.

says who?

eye for an eye is proportional

if this person had the wealth of bezos or Zuckerberg or musk, they’d never have been convicted. we should all be so free.

putting people in cages is wrong. we can be better

I think most people would feel pretty bad about contributing to someone’s death, and punishing them doesn’t change anything

so putting this person in jail does no good.

I wouldn’t call the American prison system correctional support

I doubt he’d make this kind of misstep again, jail or no.

my point is that jail won’t solve anything.

what good does this do?

load their lemmy world profile. they are a weekly user

as convenience foods go, 2/$1 gas station hot dogs exceed 500kcal. nothing comes close.

mourning is not, itself, proof of understanding of personal mortality. losing a companion doesn’t indicate they know they, themselves, might die.

How the fuck can you hear of a living being pecking itself to death in its own shit and think “dumb bird”?

this characterization has no basis in anything i’ve said.

as far as I know, chickens have never been proven to understand personal mortality. if you can point me to a cognitive-behaviorist study that shows otherwise, id be fascinated

being in a concentration camp doesn’t give him any expertise on animal cognition. nor ethics. you are certainly falling for a genetic fallacy.

comparing slaves, or Holocaust victims, to animals is gross and you should stop doing that

this smacks of a genetic fallacy

but regardless, the Holocaust was wrong, in part, precisely because it did treat humans like animals. this is not an indictment of how we treat animals.

and no animal knows what a Nazi is.

comparing slaves to animals is gross
