    What sucks is the division between animals like a raccoon and opossum and pigs and cows. Animals used for food are usually exempted from animal cruelty laws. Especially if it's common or historical. Branding a cat is animal cruelty but not a pig. A raccoon in 1 sq foot cage is animal cruelty, with chickens is standard practice

    What a dick; harming a creature for his one amusement and views.

    Animal cruelty is already sickening. Animal cruelty with an inferior siege engine is unforgivable

    Temple Grandin? Designed slaughter houses that made more profit while treating farm animals more humanely.

    Operators would damage the infrastructure because they missed terrorizing the animals.

    They might not realize it but they are sick or dumb or both.

    Animals are coaxed along with electric prods or physical abuse.

    Temple redesigned slaughter houses to minimize fright, suffering and pain.

    Efficiency saved money.

    Some operators were not happy, job security or sadism,, don't know, I don't like needless animal torture.

    Edit: grammar

    Play stupid (and cruel) games win stupid prizes. Humans need to learn that wild animals aren’t toys for them to just mess with.

    Sucks. This guy is actually really funny. When people say “harmless” pranks this guy is like the epitome of that. Was a stupid thing he did here tho

    Stupid & intentionally cruel. Definitely not “ harmless.”
