isn't a fish scared to die?

Not really, if they die to feed a Brahmin they get reincarnated as a Brahmin themselves in their next life. Most definitely a Brahmin.

what if another fish just fucks them up and doesn't eat them and leaves them to die all alone in the ocean?

Fish dont sleep and every fish looks like it's life is miserable. Death is probably a welcome release.

That'd probably get them into Valhalla, but unfortunately all fish are Hindu.

 

[CAPTAIN HAPPY]

Maybe they're just brave enough to fight back.

Look at the Sun Fish and tell me if you spot signs of intelligence.

I don't think so, if you were born a fish that would be your whole world, also your sentience would be reduced so you would not think much of it.

Just like you are a human right now, imagine another type of creature living in another world/dimension looking at you, thinking the same as you thought of the fish.

You're living in a world filled with disease, pain and cruelty, so it's not hard to imagine someone in a better situation deeming our lives like such.

Who said death isn't a welcome release for me too?

Humans are the only animal capable of understanding and realizing the concept of death.

After I type that I realize that I'm pretty sure dolphins, killer whales and elephants all know about death, but I was hoping my dumb comment was going to fly under the radar

What if all of god's creatures comprehend death but we're the only ones that have strayed far enough from his light to fear being reunited with him

Well, they eat each other. In nature if a predator is intelligent enough and resourceful enough it can eat as many animals of prey it wants to.
Even animal farming is something not exclusive to us. I can't remember where but I heard a story about how ants will take aphids down into their colony into the best spots and feed them the best food so that they can milk them for their own babies.
I think we have a fucked up view of the animal kingdom because we are the kings. It's lonely at the top, especially when you're the emotional and intelligence equivalent of living in the penthouse while everyone else is living on the street.
Everything that we do including marking our territory (building cities) is something that you see predators do in the animal world, except we do it on a massively larger scale.

20/20 on hindsight

Prey also understands this behavior. What strikes me is that documentary where the herd pushed ill/injured member into lions mouths.

Ants do know how to farm aphids and will take them to new and fresh spots.

Nah. Concrete urban jungles are lonely, but that's by design.

Predators usually just build seasonal lodges and such.
After that it's infested with lice and other vermin. Otters and beavers have longer habitats.
Being a successful predator means being on move. If you can't hunt, you die. Miserable death

They pushed the sick and injured ones to the lions because sick and injured ones are a burden on the herd, and lions with full bellies don't need to hunt.

No I mean intelligence and emotional wise we're at the top of the building and every other animal is out in the streets. No other animal even comes close to us when it comes to being emotionally and intellectually aware.

Spot on, and that explains colonization all the way from when homo sapiens came up north and bred with neanderthals.

Would have to rewatch. Grass is infinite resource in savannah tho.

Ever seen fish making perfect geometric shapes? We are pathetic

I've seen dogs and monkeys being much happier

Once farming went up the teeth started to rot and illness shoot way up. It's all recorded.

It's not the grass that the lions are hunting. They are sacrificing the sick and the injured to the lions so that they can live longer.

We built complex machines that can do that for us.

That's because their intellect is so much lower that as long as they're fucking, fed and not dead life can not get better for them.

Sure but we can treat most illnesses that's why our life expectancy is late 70s.
Have you ever seen a deer doing chemotherapy? No, they just wander off into the woods and die.
