So why do you hate seeing posts like this? I'm coming up with some ideas but I reckon you're going to surprise me.

the unnecessary killing of animals, then posting about it for clout? yes i would hate seeing that too if i was on face book

Well, we're seeing it here. Is that any reason not to hate it? Same post.

There are people out there who are so conditioned to hate snakes, spiders, etc that their first instinct is to kill them so changing the 'role' might help them to get some perspective. What is obvious to some is not obvious to all.

i think we are in agreement acutely, “posts like this” meaning the ones where people kill animals for no reason.

[–] notgold@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Yep that's what I meant. I killed this snake in my yard or I killed this spider in my kitchen. It hurts my heart that people hate these creatures so much.
