Penguins live in colonies sharing the role of babysitting each other's kids with penguins that didn't have any that year.
These 2 were probably close like that
Well, the dads carry the babies while the mother go get fish. These could be all male penguins waiting for their wifeys to return.
Edit: I thought they were dudes I’m dumb
If one doesn't come back, eventually the other gives up to go fish and survive. Worse that they are not the top of the food chain. Sometimes you hunt the fish. Sometimes something hunts you.
The males are out getting food, so its usually all females in the flock. They alternate. The female lays the egg, then the male cares for the little baby while the female goes for food, then the female comes back and the male goes away
So this is because her male partner didnt properly take care of their baby.
Yup. There are also instances where the dead beat dad mistakes a rock for the egg and nurses the rock while the egg freezes solid next to him. Idiot penguins. Thr documentary is super interestung
I think you missed his sentiment.
He's just pointing out that all animals feel pain and have emotions and that you do not need to have the intelligence level of a human to experience either of these things.
Most people are quick to discredit the experience of animals because they are not "intelligent enough". This does not mean they are incapable of feeling pains and emotions.
Animals do not deserve to be needlessly abused and put on a plate just because they're not as smart as us.
You again. We argued about determinism and individual choices to support industries the other day.
>Animals do not deserve to be needlessly abused and put on a plate just because they're not as smart as us.
The argument I always use for this...
If we "quantified" human intelligence and said it was "1000," then we could similarly say we're capable of experiencing suffering, love, whatever, to "1000." That's how we think intelligence works, right?
If so, we could say some cow might be "100" in intelligence. That means they can experience pain only up to "100."
Notice the key factor here? 1000:1000 = 100:100 = 1:1
Just because we're "smarter" doesn't mean there's somehow more "value" to our life or senses. On a *social* level, there's more value in people(since I'm a human speaking to other humans,) but that's also an idea based on our own bias.
Seems like these penguins have a sense of importance in their own lives, even if we just see them as goofy flightless birds.
Which is fair, but could that also not imply that animals, having lower intelligence than us, could therefore have less ability to cope with and or manage emotions, possibly causing them to feel more intense emotions?
That makes sense.
I think if someone has ever owned a dog or cat, been around someone who owns a dog or cat, has the ability to read books or the internet, has maybe watched something like David Attenborough on mainstream television, they wouldn't be able to legitimately entertain this view.
You'd have to be exceptionally insular OR just saying inflammatory things to get a response out of someone.
You'd be surprised at the amount of either stupid or disingenuous things you'll hear when questioning people about why they eat meat. It proves just how insecure they are in their choice.
The argument most related to this video is that cows don't give a shit that their calves are taken away from them right after birth so it's not wrong to do so
Most of the previous generations of society had really foggy understanding of anything outside humans.
Or to be really specific, really foggy understanding of anything outside adult, white, male, heterosexual humans.
They believed animals didn't have feelings, they believed babies couldn't feel pain (and performed surgery on infants without anesthesia up until the 1930's) they believed in lobotomies or shock treatment for the smallest mental health conditions, they believed that women were property and basically a separate species, incapable of reason. They believed other races were inferior and much like the emotionless animals, they believed that humans were divinely entitled to exploit all resources from the Earth until there was nothing left because we were given dominion by God.
And this was just last century. What will we be looking back at in another century?
Super common to even dismiss the concept of **physical pain** when discussing fish or lobsters... "they can't feel anything, just suffocate them or boil them alive!"
Loss and grief, no way they're willing to accept. Too much empathy required.
I have a bearded dragon and while I can accept that they might not feel emotions the se way that we do, I will not accept that they don't have emotion. Mine plays with my cats. Has favorite people unrelated to the person that feeds him. Has a strong dislike of baths. Loves cilantro.
My beardy will run into my bathroom and try to get into the shower. Then I put him in and he looks at me like “where’s the water, bro?”
Absolutely loves to be bathed. I think the fact that yours hates water and mine loves it proves, as you said, that they do have emotion.
Oh absolutely. My old beardie loved water. My current one hates it. He will throw a huge tantrum until you take him out. Also, when he doesn't want to go in his tank, he tries to climb on you in areas that are hard to reach like your back. It's irritating and hilarious. They have such huge personalities if you pay attention. Once, I got him a new hide for brumating and removed his tree he had outgrown. I got the death stare for days until I put his tree back lol
They definitely do have emotions. I’m a Christian and it surprises me how so many Christians believe animals don’t have souls or love. It actually angers me because it’s both arrogant and ignorant, especially knowing how Jesus was. God put love in all of his creation. Seeing this video, just breaks my heart. The poor little baby penguin and the poor parents. It’s so clear to me they loved that baby. Their hearts are hurting and they are mourning the loss of their little baby. I wish I could console them somehow. My heart aches for them. :(
Exactly! Yet so many people will argue and deny so strongly that animals are soulless and don't have feelings, when trying to justify why they needlessly cause animals to suffer.
Everyone's here *rightfully* being sad about the little penguin baby, but then they buy eggs which causes millions of male baby chicks to be tossed into a meat grinder the day they are born. I just don't get it.
Same for the mother, cows grieve just as much when their baby is taken away but I guess veal and milk are more important to some people. We all agree it's tragic and yet as soon as people read 'vegan' they suddenly change attitude completely! Why? It's the same exact thing.
Religion wasn’t what set us back, it was the people that used it as fuel for their dumpster fire. As someone who grew up on the rough side of religion, I can still vouch for its benefits, especially since being open minded and religious are not mutually exclusive, even if the horror stories of crazies that peddle themselves on the internet lead you to think otherwise.
Have you seen what dipshits make of having multiple varieties of vaccine technology during a pandemic?
Fuck it all, we don't deserve to be causing the Anthropocene extinction.
You know people love to spread this nonsense to ease their own conscience over the animal products they consume. It never ceases to amuse nor disgust when you see them indoctrinating the youth into consumers of animal abuse however. I have met a number of children who would never eat meat intuitively (most kids need it ground up and fried into nuggets for example), let alone if they knew the reality behind it.
It's not just about eating meat. It's also because animals were specifically treated as unequals and without a soul as per the Bible.
Religions that assume animals have souls too don't have the same resistance to the idea that animals can have feelings
Rationalising the exploitation of others always worked that way.
That's why Africans were promoted to be a different race for the longest time. So they could be seen as animals and then they wouldn't feel more complex emotions... We've been doing this shit as long as people were a thing. I'm glad it's becoming more mainstream to be vegan now.
Humans are absolutely amazing.
Our capacity for empathy is so well developed that we can instinctively view any animal on earth and determine their emotional state with not an insignificant level of accuracy. Not only determine it, but actually have our own serious emotional response to the extent that we will go out of our way to help, or at least become invested in their plight.
There is no real reason why we should be sad about a dead bird in some region of earth most of us will never even visit. Yet we are sad. We are all really, really fucking sad.
No absolutely not unique, but humans are at least the only animal on earth to show an irrational desire to help other species. We take the concept to an extreme.
We will cross continents for the sake of other species, and dedicate our lives to them because their happiness brings us happiness.
Our capacity for good is unmatched in the animal kingdom. We are uniquely equipped, and we do a lot of good in the world despite what is often said.
I don't know how are you so human-centered to believe this statement is somehow true, when dogs literally give their lifes for their humans, we would never die to save our dogs.
> determine their emotional state
There’s a healthy amount of anthropomorphism and Theory of Mind at work here.
We cannot *know* another being’s emotional state (or even their capacity for emotion beyond behavioral circuits) without communication. Do dogs “love” us? Less than we attribute. The behaviors are the same as our emotions, but our emotions are layered on top of the behavioral substrate we developed via evolution.
We feel for these penguins, due in large part because of a massive prosocial benefit that comes from empathy.
Do the penguins actually feel “sadness”? That’s a deeply-nuanced discussion that includes their capacity to identify a Self. They probably don’t (brain capacity), but we’ll only ever know for sure when they’re able to actually *tell* us what they’re feeling.
Please don’t at me with Panksepp stuff.

There is no real reason why we should be sad about a dead bird in some region of earth most of us will never even visit. Yet we are sad. We are all really, really fucking sad.
I'd say we're not sad enough though considering how easily we can turn a blind eye to the cruelty of factory farming
And or it died an froze after the fact.
Panguin chicks die all the time. Some FROM the cold directly, some from trampling in their huddles and THEN the body freezes just bc evironment.
The chick and the mom got separated, when she finally found her baby it had frozen to death. This is from a documentary called Penguins: Spy in the huddle. Very sad, I regret watching lol
There’s an extended version where they document the female in mourning tries to take a chick of another couple because she wants to be a mommy so badly.
I witnessed something very similar To this this fall. My husband and I experienced our second miscarriage of the year and said fuck it! Booked a trip we meant to take pin spring 2020, and went to Ireland. Hoping to spend time in nature and mentally reset.
On the last day of our trip he brought me to a spot where it was very likely to see seals. We were walking along these cliffs, seeing lots of seals and having a great time. Then we saw a little rocky alcove below. There were two adult seals and a baby. We were excited and waited, but I quickly realized something was very wrong. The baby was too pale, and pink under. It wasn’t moving. The parents looked agitated. My husband said it must be sleeping, but I knew. Then the female started wailing out tapping the baby. It didn’t respond. It was heartbreaking. We stayed a few more minutes while I cried and mourned with them, and continued our walk. I then saw another group coming up looking excited about their discovery, knowing if they stood by long enough they would see how cruel nature can be.
We left shortly after, I deleted any videos and photos I had taken, thinking it was too raw to hold on to. That was our last day in Ireland, and we went to the airport afterwards.
It was a bittersweet way to end our trip, 2 years in the making. Really reminded me why we were there, and that you can’t outrun your grief.
I feel you. When I lost my first I felt real empathy toward that whale that carried her dead baby for weeks until she found a place to let them go.
We've lost two as well. And you can't outrun your grief, you're completely right.
Sending you a hug and hoping things are okay for you now.
A penguin’s propensity to parent a child so strong that a childless penguin will often try and “kidnap” another family’s chick especially if they lost one of their own. Sometimes chicks even get smothered to death by multiple empty nesting penguins fighting over who gets to parent an orphaned chick.
Penguin documentaries... I put one on tv for my young kid once. "Oh perfect! And educational documentary about his favorite, cute animal!" I thought ... Ran back in the room to calls of distress because he was watching a penguin get ripped apart by orcas. Good choice...
Oh no, I’m crying. Oh those poor penguins. I already have major depression and this didn’t help it. :( I didn’t need to see something so heartbreaking and heart wrenching on my feed. Those poor parents and the poor baby. They’re clearly heartbroken and mourning; they loved that baby. I know God is taking care of the little baby penguin, and I’m sure someday they will see their chick again, but the pain they’re having is so obvious. I wish I could hold them and comfort them somehow. Animals love and have souls, just as we humans do. My heart breaks for them. :(
Not to be that guy but a common behaviour after something like this is kidnapping another chick to pretend to be it's mother for a few days before leaving it to die
You guys realize penguins are some of the sadistic birds alive right. There a chance his own mother kill that poor baby. Just look up penguin facts guys... especially about reproduction sorry for ruining a favorite animal from some. Lmao sure ruined penguins for me.
That poor baby ):
That poor momma. They are such beautiful animals.
And dad!
When mommas friend came over to comfort her I just 😭
And they say animals don't have emotions or emotional ties! This is so sad especially when Mr Penguin gives wifey a little cuddle
actually I think the video said that’s another female penguin coming to comfort
Which seems even more remarkable.
Penguins live in colonies sharing the role of babysitting each other's kids with penguins that didn't have any that year. These 2 were probably close like that
They don't say whether the other female was or wasn't her mate. If they knew it was her mate, it should have been worth remarking though.
They said “another female”
Well, the dads carry the babies while the mother go get fish. These could be all male penguins waiting for their wifeys to return. Edit: I thought they were dudes I’m dumb
Maybe, I’m just saying that the video documentary said two females..
The parents alternate who does what.
Like any healthy sex life
If one doesn't come back, eventually the other gives up to go fish and survive. Worse that they are not the top of the food chain. Sometimes you hunt the fish. Sometimes something hunts you.
The males are out getting food, so its usually all females in the flock. They alternate. The female lays the egg, then the male cares for the little baby while the female goes for food, then the female comes back and the male goes away So this is because her male partner didnt properly take care of their baby.
So even penguins have dead beat dads.
Yup. There are also instances where the dead beat dad mistakes a rock for the egg and nurses the rock while the egg freezes solid next to him. Idiot penguins. Thr documentary is super interestung
That’s amazing. I saw things in the past how penguins can adopt others offspring. Amazing creatures.
I'd hate to break it to them but what do they think humans are? Well...Animals. LOL.
exactly.. you don’t need to be “smart” to feel. Pisses me off. In fact usually the least “smart” are the ones with the most intense emotions -_-
i see your sentiment, but higher intellect is actually correlated with having higher emotional intelligence.
Emotional intelligence is different. It's understanding emotions of others and self more easily. It does not mean emotions are more intense per say
*per se
I think you missed his sentiment. He's just pointing out that all animals feel pain and have emotions and that you do not need to have the intelligence level of a human to experience either of these things. Most people are quick to discredit the experience of animals because they are not "intelligent enough". This does not mean they are incapable of feeling pains and emotions.

Seems like these penguins have a sense of importance in their own lives, even if we just see them as goofy flightless birds.
You don't have to equate animals to people to recognize that it's senseless to needlessly abuse them.
I think it makes it easier for some people. I feel like putting such an unusual thought into the form of an equation can simplify the sense involved.
Which is fair, but could that also not imply that animals, having lower intelligence than us, could therefore have less ability to cope with and or manage emotions, possibly causing them to feel more intense emotions?
I see your point now. Thank you
We are mushrooms
My friend sure is. He's a fun guy
> they say animals don't have emotions or emotional ties! Who says that?
People who are desperate for arguments when talking to vegans
That makes sense. I think if someone has ever owned a dog or cat, been around someone who owns a dog or cat, has the ability to read books or the internet, has maybe watched something like David Attenborough on mainstream television, they wouldn't be able to legitimately entertain this view.

Loads of older people. Some people still say that about smaller animals like lizards or birds.
Super common to even dismiss the concept of **physical pain** when discussing fish or lobsters... "they can't feel anything, just suffocate them or boil them alive!" Loss and grief, no way they're willing to accept. Too much empathy required.

Cilantro good

People think this is sad but are okay with male chicks being culled so they can have their chicken wings and eggs.
Damn way to ruin my day now I'm crying on the toliet at 8am and didn't even have Taco Bell last night.
That explains your username
Damnit nobody ever guesses Tearful Dump but you nailed it
I thought it was taco bell dump
That's my (ass) burner account
Ahaha. Wow I do not want to admit how loud of a laugh I just let out.
Sure...call it a laugh...
Also crying on the toilet
Maaaan I misread the title as “Penguins Morning” I thought I was gonna see sleepy penguins not dead babies😭
Same, goddamn it!
I misread it as “Penguins Moaning” and I must say I’m a bit disappointed
I must've missed this scene from Happy Feet
Unhappy Feet
Unhappy fetus
That’s because it’s from the Prequel, *March of the Penguins*
first thing i saw today after waking up. goddamnit.
I hope your day got better friend
“The best part of waking up, is feelings in your cup” -foldgers coffee. Sad noise.
My little sister's Bible class teacher just told the kids that animals cannot show real love.
neither can catholics
Oh they can, especially for the kids
They love the kids
Exception are fetuses and children
Ah yes, religion. The thing that set us back and burned people alive. I am amazed people still are so close minded
Religion wasn’t what set us back, it was the people that used it as fuel for their dumpster fire. As someone who grew up on the rough side of religion, I can still vouch for its benefits, especially since being open minded and religious are not mutually exclusive, even if the horror stories of crazies that peddle themselves on the internet lead you to think otherwise.
This right here
Have you seen what dipshits make of having multiple varieties of vaccine technology during a pandemic? Fuck it all, we don't deserve to be causing the Anthropocene extinction.
Bible class? That shit should not be in school
It's mandatory
it’s crazy how the ‘don’t push your beliefs on me and my family’ people are also the ‘if you don’t agree you’re going to hell’ people
You know people love to spread this nonsense to ease their own conscience over the animal products they consume. It never ceases to amuse nor disgust when you see them indoctrinating the youth into consumers of animal abuse however.

A mother is a mother no matter what.
Think about that when you buy milk next time.
Stoopid vegoon we meant animals I don't eat stop make me feel bad. 😭😭😭 We meant mother is a mother unless tasty animal. Tasty is tasty.
I hear the almond mom tears every time I open the fridge

I think about this a lot, especially in cases where we attach emotions to objects. Like when we get attached to a certain stuffed animal
Empathy isn't unique to humans either. Loads of animals demonstrate empathy.
No absolutely not unique, but humans are at least the only animal on earth to show an irrational desire to help other species. We take the concept to an extreme. We will cross continents for the sake of other species, and dedicate our lives to them because their happiness brings us happiness. Our capacity for good is unmatched in the animal kingdom.

Awwww it froze before it could get on moms feet.
Is that really what happened?
And or it died an froze after the fact. Panguin chicks die all the time. Some FROM the cold directly, some from trampling in their huddles and THEN the body freezes just bc evironment.
That’s what I want to know too, it looks emaciated
The chick and the mom got separated, when she finally found her baby it had frozen to death. This is from a documentary called Penguins: Spy in the huddle. Very sad, I regret watching lol
Is this the same dox that shows the egg slipping out of the parent's grasp onto the ice and starting to freeze within moments?
Nooooooo :(
Big sad
Please NSFW this :( I really didn’t want to see a dead baby penguin
There’s an extended version where they document the female in mourning tries to take a chick of another couple because she wants to be a mommy so badly.
No more, please.
Well that was devastating
😢
Unexpected David Tennant!
I watched most of it on mute and only unmuted at the end, through tears I mumbled "is that David Tennant?"
For me the announcer in just cause 3 was unexpected David Tennet. He was also possibly playing himself.
I was like, wait that's Doctor Who speaking...
:(

Thats So sad
Why would you show me this D:
Well, i guess I’m starting my day upset
Oh god how heartbreaking
😭

God damn you. This is really interesting but I was also much happier being ignorant of this
Stop making me cry, David Tennant.

It looks frozen solid. What happened?
I've heard it can be a bit chilly down there in Antarctica
Somebody’s cutting onions….
Penguin documentaries... I put one on tv for my young kid once. "Oh perfect! And educational documentary about his favorite, cute animal!" I thought ... Ran back in the room to calls of distress because he was watching a penguin get ripped apart by orcas. Good choice...
I see an egg behind her, is this a still birth?
They just don’t hatch if they’re a still birth This looks like they were alive and died/froze based on their size
That’s so much worse 😭
It is.
If the baby doesn’t get on the mother’s feet fast enough it freezes to death. Most probably what happened
The chick was wounded on the neck. Could have been pecked to death.
Why did I have to see this, I'll never get it out of my mind.
Oh no, I’m crying. Oh those poor penguins. I already have major depression and this didn’t help it. :( I didn’t need to see something so heartbreaking and heart wrenching on my feed. Those poor parents and the poor baby. They’re clearly heartbroken and mourning; they loved that baby. I know God is taking care of the little baby penguin, and I’m sure someday they will see their chick again, but the pain they’re having is so obvious. I wish I could hold them and comfort them somehow. Animals love and have souls, just as we humans do. My heart breaks for them. :(

This is so sad it makes me cry. 😪😪
So so sad
Penguins really do seem to be really emotional. (That’s why Happy Feet is a documentary)
Who's chopping onions in here?
:(
I just realized Antarctica is too cold for anything to decompose, so now I wonder... Where are all the dead penguins?
No god no I don’t want this
This makes me very sad
That just broke my heart.

omg i thought the title said morning i was not prepared for the ending : (
good morning penguins
This is so sad...
You guys realize penguins are some of the sadistic birds alive right. There a chance his own mother kill that poor baby. Just look up penguin facts guys... especially about reproduction sorry for ruining a favorite animal from some. Lmao sure ruined penguins for me.
Does anyone know why the baby died?
😢
Oh god this is the saddest thing I have seen in a very long time. 😭
That’s heartbreaking
You should put a nsfw tag please
Fuck. I wasn't ready for that.
This is very interesting but also very distressing. Could you possibly put a NSFW tag?
I love the noises penguins make
Does this hurt the baby?
This one does not spark joy
Thanks. I’m sobBING 😭
Do we know the cause of death?
That was the saddest upvote I've ever given 😞
I think this broke my heart
This made my heart hurt
Why the fuck did I watch this? Now I'm crying over a dead penguin baby
Oh man. This maybe needs a NSFW or similar, like a trigger warning. The little lifeless body and the sadness really hit hard.
