Good People Ruined Me
A good person genuinely cares about the wellbeing of others? Right? Okay, so maybe celebrities hopping on fad humanitarian bandwagons despite their contradictions have jaded me, but these people who capture and release wildlife are the same people who support Feed the Children and sang on We Are the World and shit right? And they probably defend the rights of native peoples too, the tribal considerations that allow for native Inuit to eat seals? Maybe? Probably? So Africans can eat seals too, I assume? But I was always taught as a child that if I threw out any food, I was wasting it, thus ensuring the deaths of starving kids in Africa. So...if we capture an edible animal, something we have a surplus of, shouldn't we send it to Africa so they can eat it? I mean, if I send them my leftover steak it's just going to spoil, but a live seal will be edible whenever they need it, right? Am I a bad person? Probably.
P.S. You're right, this seal is adorable, so fuck starving kids in Africa.
P.P.S. If you support any cause at all, you clearly can never yell at me about A) wasting food B) making fun of Native Americans (which I would obviously never dream of because they might conquer my civilization...oh wait) or C) capturing endangered species and FedEx-ing them to Uganda
