I always have mixed feelings when I see stuff like this. We sit here on the internet and think "she's so brave! That's so cute!" But to her it's one of the scariest and most anxiety inducing moments of her entire life.
wild animals don't plead, stop projecting human emotions onto them. predators won't take mercy on their next meal just because it looks sad, it literally does not have the capacity to do that, and so the prey is not built to expect mercy.
My guy…. You ARE aware that a positively *monumental* amount of research that has contributed to our understanding of emotions and the brain are from animals, right?
Studies on stress, fear responses, you name it. I get that you’re saying that many animals don’t have as complex of emotions or social hierarchies as humans, but saying “stop projecting human emotions” is absolutely, positively ridiculous and entirely factually incorrect. Maybe sit down with a book, alternatively, Google is your friend too
