The delivery man carried the cat's tail and hit it 4 times, afraid that the cat was not dead and made up 3 feet to the head, but in 40 seconds, the stray cat lost its life in great fear and pain.
What made me even angrier was that this cat, it died of its trust in humans.
From the video, the delivery man crouched down and waved at it, and then he cocked his tail and ran over to rub his palm, which was a sign of great trust. Most stray cats, not to mention cocking their tails, turn around and prepare to run when they see people crouching in front of them.
This is a very close stray cat, several nearby merchants often feed it, fed for two years, there are often children in the neighborhood to play with it, it will expose the belly to play with people.
Being able to expose a cat's belly requires how much trust the cat has in its heart.
In the video, the delivery man picks up the cat's tail, picks it up and beats it three times, and the cat breaks off its hand and smashes it to the ground and convulses. The delivery man did not think it was enough, and he still carried the cat's tail and slammed it into the ground.
Seeing that the cat was still panting, he continued to go forward and make up three feet at the cat's head.
If you've seen the video, you'll understand why I'm talking about three "circles" of wrestling.
It's like dropping an object.
Because of this, it is even more chilling.
4 beats, 3 stampedes, before and after only 40 seconds, the cat lost its life, and the delivery man rode to deliver the next takeaway.
It was as if in those 40 seconds he had just done something trivial, as worthless as kicking a small stone.
After the matter was exposed, the delivery man's reply was as follows:
"I didn't expect things to be so big, I regret it, I lost my job now"
"It was the cat that caught me first, and my brain went blank."
So all he regrets is losing his job?
Whether the cat caught him or not, we don't know, at least not from the video and his movements. I wonder if it is also simple, just look at whether he has a wound on his hand.
But from this sentence and his movements towards a cat as if he were an object, I felt that he did not have the concept that the life of a cat was also life.
When I was young, I was tripped by a toy and cried, and many adults in the family would slap the toy a few times and throw it away, in order to coax the crying children.
For the delivery man, maybe the cat is like the toy that was angry.
On the topic of "why some people abuse cats", most of them are these four answers: the pleasure of violence, the cowardice of anger and weakness, psychological trauma and revenge on cats and dogs, and interests.
But I've always felt that there is another category of people who never think of cats as a sentient being, and killing a cat is no different to them than crushing an ant.
This delivery man may be such a person.
When I was very young, I personally saw a few seven- or eight-year-old boys with a slingshot hitting a puppy, and the dog's stomach was punched through several blood holes, and soon it was gone, and one of the boys often came to my house to play.
I remember when the adults asked him why he hit the dog, his answer was "Fun", "I saw the crash on TV and wanted to try it"
Now that I'm older, I once went back to my hometown to meet him and asked him if he remembered beating dogs when he was a kid. He was full of surprise, didn't believe it was something he had done, and thought I was lying to him.
Sometimes childhood lacks reverence for life, but the reason why people are human, unlike other beasts, is not it that they understand the cherishing and difficulty of life as they grow up, and have the ability to empathize with pain?
I once read an article written by a stray cat rescuer who wrote in her hometown that she didn't understand the fact that she spent money and energy every month to rescue stray cats, and there were many people who joked to her about skinning the cat.
The terrible thing is that these people later put it into action, skinned and boiled the live cat, and made a video for her to see.
And asking how these people are, it is not the kind of vicious and cowardly we think, but the evaluation is quite high, and it is usually very kind, helpful, and capable.
I haven't studied psychology specifically, but it's easy to empathize with pain and sadness, and whenever I try to psychologically analyze this kind of cat abuse, it's incredibly difficult.
The difficulty is that, whether or not you speculate about the reason for his abuse of the cat, no matter how strongly you condemn the abuser, no matter what reason you use to tell him that it is wrong, you can never change his behavior or thoughts, and you will never think that he is wrong in his cognition.
He will only think that this time I was accidentally discovered, and next time I will be secretive.
He will only feel that it is just a cat, I am the person, the same kind of people, shouldn't you care more about me?
He will only feel that those who condemn him are making a big fuss and embarrassing him.
As the delivery man said: I regret it, I didn't expect to lose my job because of this, I am a rural person, and I have no education.
Implication: It's not easy for me to find a job, but because of this matter, the job is gone, why don't you look at me when you look at the cat?
But what everyone wants to tell him more is: why should you vent on an innocent cat if you are not satisfied? The cat's life is also life and should not be arbitrarily taken away in an extremely painful way.
