Otters like to torture and take penguins apparently lol. Which one of you idiots said only humans are bad? We've got about 8 animals up the chain that are just as violent if not smart enough to wipe out a species like we can

whenever I see incredibly obtuse takes like these I wonder if people ever stop to think that - as far as we know - animals didn't dedicate centuries of their existence to developing ethics, morals, societies, philosophy, technology etc. against all basic survival instincts

an animal is just a very complex machine with varying degrees of intelligence that tries to survive in very rough and direct ways, if you're used to clawing, biting, rending every day of your life to survive it's normal that your idea of fun is to do the exact same thing

how loving stupid is it to say "see animals do it too, it's not just humans who are bad". are you really comparing a human being capable of abstract reasoning and active choices to something that regularly shoves its face in the guts of a decomposing carcass to eat?

The defence's playbook for the Toronto truck murderer probably isn't where you want to draw your arguments tbh

I guess that would depend if I were trying to defend an otter or a human.

"Your Honour, I would like to remind the court that my client, an otter, is in fact a wild otter. While otters are extremely intelligent for an animal in comparison with say a chicken or clam, and that some otters are capable of -- is it technically "murder" to kill a seal? Even a baby seal? No? Technically my client has not committed a crime in the legal sense because both my client and the alleged victim are in fact both wild animals and are not subject to nor enjoy any protection of the court of law? Huh.

Well OK, so while some otters are capable of doing messed up things to baby seals I would like to remind the court that every otter is considered innocent until proven guilty.

Otto, what do you think?

The accusations that my client is guilty of GTA is ridiculous and unfounded. Yes they were found with the keys of the stolen vehicle but as the evidence shows they are in fact an otter that doesn't know how to use them.

on a certain level i think i will always consider parrots to be a bit exotic so i love seeing places where they have gone native and you just have these massive swarms of intelligent flying beasts wreaking havoc all over the place.

This trial has been an otter debacle. Case dismissed. However, as the witness clearly identified an otter, it will be necessary to conduct new lineups. *bangs gavel*

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
