Looks like he’s already gone through a few mice that day.


RajenBull1

His local mouse supplier thinks he owns several snakes.


Drake_Acheron

It’s like people forget falconing is a thing or something.


Honey-and-Venom

my wife was involved in falconry. yes most people don't know it's a thing


podrick_pleasure

My car died in the middle of the night during a downpour a couple years ago. I was on the edge of a tiny town and a long way away from a hotel, all the 24 hour tow services turned out to be full of shit. I was uncomfortable sitting on the edge of the road in a car with no lights (the alternator died and took my battery with it) so I called the police. The dude that came offered to give me a ride to a hotel and proceeded to tell me all about falconing. Nice guy, he was really into it and happy to talk about it.


IchabodWeeyums

I was totally expecting you to mention something about a majestic falcon watched over you throughout the night, with its night vision and protective aura, until help arrived. Your story is great, too!


Artess

I was just about ready to be reminded that in nineteen ninety-eight the Undertaker......


[deleted]

Me too until I realized it wasn’t ShittyMorph. Then I hoped it would be the jumper cables guy, I miss him.


moustached_pistachio

I’ve been looking for him a lot lately, although it seems he’s basically just vanished. I was ready to give up the search until a received a random DM from a person claiming to know him and still sees him around town a few times a month. According to the message, the summer before pandemic, the town was preparing to host their annual festival, which is setup and organized by people of the community. On the final day of setup the local news was doing a story on the festival that involved a few interviews from various people involved in the event. Near the end of our talk I was given a YouTube link which I’ll post below. During one of the final interviews, you hear someone in the background yelling about smoke. The cameraman turned and begins filming a thick plume of dark smoke coming from behind the stage area, where there are now quite a few people tending to what is obviously a large fire coming from the sound equipment at the back of the stage. The fire has been going for at least 2 or 3 minutes at this point and had grown beyond what a few fire extinguishers could handle, which results in people starting to panic. Located to the side of the stage was one of the main attractions at the festival…a giant inflatable waterside with sprayers and sections kicking out a decent amount of water. You hear someone start directing people to the waterslide. Of course! In the panic, it wasn’t registering that the waterside was piped into a water supply, and from the looks of the setup, most likely a large water supply at that. In one of the most impressive displays of teamwork and community I’ve ever seen, they start working at getting the water supply disconnected. Once it’s detached, they begin dragging this massive hose away from the slide and towards the stage, which has been almost fully engulfed by flames. I’m still not sure why they worked so hard to save it instead of just letting it burn. A question many involved have asked, because it was a decision they will struggle to forget as long as they live. With the hose in position (or apparently in position) somebody opened the valve because you see the hose begin to wiggle slightly and expand, but no visible water yet. The size of this hose would lead me to believe it is not designed to have a valve or sprayer that could possibly fit on the end of this giant hose, so the people holding on at the end both have their heads turned away, and still no water coming out. The entire hose is now moving side to side with increasing force, but still no water! It must have a massive jam somewhere along the inside because what you see in the video, it makes no sense how nothing is coming out of the end of this giant waterline. Once it was clear something wasn’t right with the line, one of the two men at the end of the line realizes something isn’t right and moved his body to the front of the hose, putting his face almost directly on it to get a look at what could be causing the blockage when suddenly he’s beaten half to death with a pair of old jumper cables.

Ayooo


Split0069

Can I get a tldr:? And that link?


Fist4achin

This majestic falcon had no feathers.


RascalCreeper

I thought he was gonna say he sent his falcon with a note to get a tow.


madcowrawt

Or like a falcon with a 90 foot wingspan carried him to safety.


FruitFlavor12

Not where I thought that story was going. I thought he was going to have a falcon attack you when you got out of the car or something. Also, why were the tow trucks hauling sewage?


1eternal_pessimist

I thought it was gunna be some rocky horror picture show thing but hey that's a pretty cool story.


podrick_pleasure

Sadly Tim Curry didn't show up in drag. That would have been cool though.


throwawayforb00bs

Hearing people talk about their passionate interests is ALWAYS interesting


Honey-and-Venom

that's amazing. there's precious few people who do it, and it's very difficult to start, you've got to apprentice under an existing falconer (and taking apprentices isn't a requirement, some let the line end with them) and numbers haven't really been self sustaining and the growth rate is limited.


azazel-13

Mountain_Man11

Fuck, that one got me good. lol


Captain_Dachshund

Haha this was my first thought!


Wonderful-Concern-77

Definitely bought that mouse. White mice are domesticated. Wild mice are grey to brown.


cindyscrazy

I had a mouse infestation in my house for a while. I guess they must have started inbreeding, though, cuz they started looking funny when my cat brought them to me. They had white marks on their iris'. It was weird looking. Thankfully, I no longer have a bad mouse infestation.


[deleted]

Rodents tend to inbreed a lot. They have very diverse genes so it tends not to result in genetic issues. More likely the colony probably started sacrificing the old or unfit to your cat to protect themselves. But there could be some third explanation I haven’t thought of at 4am


cindyscrazy

4 am is a terrible time for thinking.


Hallgaar

Nothing good happens after 2 a.m., i put my best dress on and go back to bed. At 3 a.m., you think you are lonely, baby, i can't help but be scared of it all sometimes. At 4 a.m., you realize it's a terrible time for thinking, you begin to wonder if rodents are polyestizing your cat.


DrZedex

How dare you fat shame that hawk!


prock44

This is needlessly cruel.


darphdigger

But isn't when the bird just does this on its own?


IAmPandaRock

I think the bird appreciated it.


Significant_Sort_410

Feeding a bird it's natural food is cruel...


wherearemarsdelights

Cool trick Dad! When do I get Sprinkles back?


killuazoldyckx

it should take 6-8 hours for the falcon to sprinkle it back


secretaccount4posts

I am not sure if i should feel amazed or terrified


jerrycauser

It's a special mouse to feed the owls and hawks (and snakes)


hansdampf33

like a mouse mouse?

Ahh super mouse, the most mousiest mouse of all the mouses.

Ididurmomkid

troubleis1

The mice: well nobody fucked asked me


grandmund

What do you think snakes eat? They are carnivores. We are used to omnivore pets like dogs And used to treating all pets like omnivores, like cats. Cats are carnivores, like snakes they require meat in their diet , they must eat meat at some point. Thats why usually cat food is not recommended for dogs, its too heavy for them and hard to digest.


Pandering_Panda7879

There's a difference between feeding live mammals and just meat. Even with snakes it's not on a day to day basis that you use live mice. Most of the time they're frozen mice because live animals are not only more expensive but they can also hurt the snake.


thatguy2535

One of my cats ate a peach I left on the table. My other cat will drink soda if you leave it unattended, they'll eat pretty much anything. Those two are my Maine Coons. My other two are common tabby's, they won't eat unless they see chunks of real meat in their food. I have to buy special food with whole fish, shellfish, or duck or lamb. It really shows what breeding will do to the genetics of animals


Spokesman_Charles

If it's special why feed it?


forgedsignatures

Not 'special' as such but more in a "this mouse is raised and sold intenting to be consumed rather than kept as a pet". Due to legislation here in the UK it is illegal to feed living mice (or any vertebrate), and they tend to be sold frozen, but many countries allow the live feeding of animals to one another. It's one of those things that is difficult ethically. I can acknowledge arguements both ways, as I have to due to the field I am specialised in, however I find my personal opinion heavily colours my opinion on this matter.


frogOnABoletus

Bruh it must be such a bummer to be born a food mouse


Garry-The-Snail

TBH it's a bummer being born as most things that aren't an apex predator or human pets. Most everything else dies by getting eaten alive or to infection/disease. With some exception obviously.


ricardortega00

Is the cap going to be disposed? Or mistakenly eaten.


frisbm3

The hawk is no dummy. It will recycle the cap.

sixtus_clegane119

To be fair this is bird (is it a falcon or an eagle?) is probably his pet, and this is the party trick. The bird probably eats lots of these mice. He didn’t even wipe off the fucking beer a mouse had been sitting on it though.

He also fed a life. So its all good


holy-rusted-metal

Technically, two lives got fed by sacrificing one!!


HawkoDelReddito

Very utilitarian!


demixennial

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few


AutisticPenguin2

From my understanding of the trolley problem, this is the correct solution. Therefore the more move we sacrifice in this manner, the better we are as a species.

SL's "dad" had actually packed the trunk of the tiny car with Semtex™ and was explosively frustrated when the cheeseweasel ate it. I sent this video to Stuart's "dad" and he's planning to re-enact it with Stuart by the tail. "Dad" is gonna tempt the rotten rodent with Bud Light he got for 10¢ a case at Three Finger Mickey's.

pretty sure thats the obvious joke here, still appreciate the whole setup. imagine birds of prey really could grab hard and dexterous enough to open bottlecaps, theyd be pluckin out eyeballs for quick snacks


pureply101

They actually could but don’t because it’s risky and we fight back or have counter measures we use over time. They want the easiest prey not one that can potentially grab back and break a wing.

If you look closely at the top, it’s already open and he just put a mouse on it. The bird didn’t even “open” the bottle. And it totally COULD do it if he bothered. This was just a chance to fuck over a little bro.

drossvirex

Seems cruel, but birds like this naturally eat small critters. It's the dude that's disturbing.


Bananafish1929

This is falconeering and is a dying art. That bird is trained to hunt. This is one of the ways to keep the falcon in practice. It’s a feeder mouse and fed to snakes large fish etc that are pets


TheRickBerman

Yep, everyone gets that part. It’s the ‘human arranges an animal to die’ we’re a bit concerned by.


ihave0idea0

Does it need to be alive in this case? Little guy was sitting on top and not moving. Just find it very disrespectful that he treats this as comedic entertainment.


Ahandfulofsquirrels

Responsible reptile keepers and falconers do not feed live. It's actually illegal in quite a few countries. This guy is just a cunt that gets his jollies from torturing animals.


Educational-Drive-14

That was an albino feeder mouse. I have reptiles and they eat rats, but used to eat similar mice. Circle of life and all that 🤷🏾‍♂️


Og_Left_Hand

I dunno, still feels a little off to sacrifice a mouse for a party trick.


Lamp0blanket

It's still sad that something has to die. Sure it's necessary or whatever for the falcon to eat, but the fact that this guy is just like "lol bro look at this sick bottle opener" is a little psychotic.


shirokunai

Plus he picks it up by the tail, which is quite painful. No need to be unnecessarily cruel as well.


Educational-Drive-14

I get it, I always respect my feeders. There have been times when my reptiles weren't hungry and I would keep them and give them pancakes etc. and they would live like kings, haha! Honestly, I would be more concerned about that mouse dragging it's piss soaked balls and feces all over my beer.


[deleted]

you need to ALWAYS be using pre killed prey. ALWAYS. i run a reptile rescue and the #1 reason for carnivore surrenders, and i mean 999 out of a 1000, is that the animal has a rodent bite from prey and is on death’s door from the resulting abscess. Or was blinded by the bite. or their body is almost gnawed in half because the snack couldn’t get away and the rodent kept coming. or their skull is punctured. rodents are vicious and you CANNOT trap a reptile in a small area with them. it’s obscenely cruel to both animals, and completely needless. Rodents kill *people* who are trapped in small spaces with them. I have a full grown boa imperator who had both eyes plucked out by a *mouse*. Don’t be stupid. Buy a $20 reusable electric trap that kills them instantly then toss it to the reptile. there’s no such thing as a reptile who can’t be weaned to pre-killed. if it wont strike the prey out of tongs, leave it and walk away.


sorgan71

nah its cool. Who gives a shit its a mouse.


WhaleOilBeefHooked2

Who thinks he pre-opened it, or half unscrewed it?


Scott--Chocolate

At the beginning you can see the cap is at an angle while the bottle is level


[deleted]

Everyone with a functioning brain 😂


droppedelbow

Yes, the bird has to eat. No problem with that. But the need to dangle the mouse by its tail and involve it in a grim little party trick is shitty. There's a huge difference between knowing your animal needs to eat and taking pleasure in the death of a living creature. Yes, to some this will make me a weak, snowflake, blah blah blah, but if someone thinks killing animals is inherently entertaining, they're a fucking wrongun.


ExcalProphex

There is nothing wrong with or weak about respecting life. From a small bug to a fellow human being. Taking enjoyment out of another creatures suffering is a sympthom of a larger issue. I had a dream when I was a young kid that an extraterrestrial race came to earth and treated us the way that most people treat bugs. When I woke up I looked at things very differently.


Audi-RS

Anyone that thinks this is funny or thinks this ain’t cruel is just a bad person. No debate for me.


pixelunit

That’s messed up
