Would the authorities do anything about this?

You feel a lot. I'm glad you do because I'm jaded as hell and cynical to no end. I see what you're saying it's just he didn't mean it as a personal attack on the rat in the video you had to watch. He's talking about a hypothetical rat. Though don't let that bother you. You're suppose to feel this strong, it's who you are.

Whoever you finally marry will love a man who feels as much as you do.

I didn't view it as a personal attack on the rat. I couldn't care less how many personal verbal attacks he lands on any animal (which is kinda silly because the animal wouldn't understand). I viewed it as a bunch of nonsense with little thought behind it. Just because someone may stomp on a rat to kill it, and not give its thoughts any consideration, doesn't mean it's absolute indifference about its welfare. This statement is vindicated when he says he feels sorry for the animal being tortured. I have killed animals before, but I would never torture them because I care enough about them not to make them suffer. Why is this so hard to admit for some people? Do they think, like, caring about a lowly rat makes them look like a sissy or something? Embarrass them? Is that it?

Thanks for the compliment, but I have no plans to marry. Maybe that will change!

It's all perception. The guys keeping disease in order don't typically do documentaries or news reports. It's pest control, a specialized business. Once you have someone in your life who makes a living controlling disease, the mind looks to protect interest. I mean we have to get to the root of harming a creature but I want to do so while accepting the millions of rats that die daily and feed one of my friends family. This is just one example to create interest where I'm trying to see the best of something through the worst of something and still respect different parties.

I'm not sure his personal reason but it'll boil down to perspective. I really doubt anyone who sees torture and speaks against it is all that cruel but something on his mind needs to respect the millions of rats who die daily to keep things like black plague at bay.

No matter how confusing something gets, we're creatures of emotion reinforcing our emotions with logic. What are our emotions? Depends on our interests.

What the f*ck? Okay, it's just a mouse but still. Why would anyone do this? You can clearly hear the mouse is in a lot of pain.

Anyone who can do this without feeling empathy is possibly on the road to becoming a full fledged psychopath. Yeah, psychopaths start their sick work on animals first so it's easy to make the link.

If you have a mouse problem, at least make sure to kill them quickly. The quicker the better.

Really sick and terrible. Why are videos like this so prevalent on Youtube? They remove porn and copyright almost instantly, but leave videos like this up? I was wondering if there was any way people could actually report videos like this to the authorities?

Please do not place such links without putting a warning on them.

Not to mention actually stating what the content is... no need to leave that sort of thing as a surprise.

Pretty sure animal abuse videos are also a violation, though YouTube imo needs to make their report options less limited.

Personally it should also get people like that on a watch list, should they ever turn their abuse on humans.

Well it's been removed, so let's hope what he did is actually illegal in his country.

There's a big difference between just outright killing an animal and slowly killing it causing a lot of pain and suffering.

I know people will argue against this but the video was a prime example of Humanity at its core. Humans are like all other animals on this planet kill intended or not they inflict pain on other living beings. Some predators kill just to kill, Some fight just to cause harm. Just like people.
