An increasing percentage of animal-related shorts seem to be reposted content with an AI narrator spouting completely made-up bullshit clearly written by someone for whom English is a second language at best

One video mashed together several random videos featuring the same type of animal while the narration tried to pass it off as some heart-warming clickbait story about one individual animal

wtf

Sooo many "wholesome" videos of predator and prey animals together and it's horrible because eventually that cat or dog is going to kill and eat the little bird and it'll be all the fault of the irresponsible asshole human owner who put them together. It happened with someone I knew irl and was completely predictable.

And these assholes always get defensive when you say something, like "my precious baby isn't a cold-blooded killer! They're siblings! They're both my kids!" No, animals are intelligent and sentient people too but you can't just anthropomorphize them, you have to respect them for who and what they are

It's both anthromorphizing animals to the point where they get fucked up I think. Which feels weird because in my anecdotal experience everyone who does this is also a huge fan of likening humans to animals in the "I am the wolf among the sheep" thing or "I have incisors like a lion which is why I must eat meat and also my stepson" type deal
