  • It pretty much is. People are literally pulling their own teeth out because they can’t get dental care, the cost of living crisis is so extreme that at one point I was spending £50 a week on food for just myself, the NHS is basically on its last legs due to conservative incompetence and people are dying of easily treatable cancers and illnesses because by the time they’re actually seen to it’s already too late. On top of that our government is sending money to Ukraine and supporting Israel, our politicians are turning the lynchings of trans people into a game of political football, and the entire political system is literally primarily based on documents that were written between the 13th and 18th centuries. If you think America sucks I genuinely do not see the UK surviving this decade.





  • It is sad but yeah, it was necessary in this case. A tranquilliser can take up to a few minutes to take effect and would not have guaranteed the kid’s safety.

    The overall issue however is not whether it was justified in this case but the zoos themselves. It is absolutely evil in my eyes to entrap animals in cages and exploit them for entertainment. The entire zoo industry is disgusting and needs to be rid of.
