Yeah please don't give pets as gifts! they are a life time commitment and a lot of people are not ready for that.
Whether you like it or not, the reality is that people are capable of being incredibly virtuous, as well as deeply cruel. There are very few saints in the world, just as there are few people who are completely evil. Most human beings are nuanced and embody a mix of virtues and deplorable behaviors. In short, nobody’s perfect. What truly matters are the choices we make in life and the decisions to be kind and caring when we could easily be malicious. However, a small minority of people take pleasure from others' pain or feel no empathy at all.

Cruelty At Its Peek !
my faith in humanity is gone. some people deserve to be f*****g tortured.
As BBC Future explains it, people tend to do things to avoid pain and get pleasure. That’s why there are three main reasons why people might be cruel to others. They might not feel other people’s pain. They might actually gain pleasure from harming the harmless. Or they might see a potential threat to their safety, finances, or social status, even if there is none.
Human Leaves His Dog On Side Of The Road
This just brought tears to my eyes. My 14 year-old fur nephew lives with us. He has Cushing's, dementia, minor mobility issues, and occasional potty accidents. Taking care of him is exhausting for all three of us humans who do. Seeing that tail wag, the love in his eyes, and getting all the cuddles makes it more than worth it. That boy is our heart and soul; and if anyone ever even JOKED that we should do this... Well, I don't want BP to get too mad at me; but I'm sure that if you use your imagination, you'll be close.

Cruel Humans At It Again. Poor Guy
What the h-e-double hockey sticks is wrong these kids. No morals whatsoever.
People who get pleasure from hurting or humiliating others are known as sadists. These are individuals who may feel others’ pain more than might be normal. Though they might enjoy inflicting pain on others, some sadists may actually feel bad after everything’s over. It all depends.

However, sadists are portrayed in a very exaggerated light in movies and books. What’s far more common is everyday sadism. People who embrace it tend to like films with lots of gore in them, play violent video games, and watch brutal sports fights. They might also have a keen interest in torture as a topic.

According to a 2018 study done by researchers at the University of British Columbia, around 6% of undergrad students admitted to getting pleasure from hurting others. Everyday sadists are your schoolyard bullies, internet trolls, and video game players who aim to ruin everything for others.

"Haha Lmao What A Prank Amirite"
Sadists shouldn’t be confused with psychopaths, however. The latter may hurt others because they feel less pity or remorse, and their actions help them achieve their goals. Psychopaths can also understand what other people might be feeling, on an intellectual level, without feeling the same things themselves.

This Is Appaling. Clean After Yourselves, Goddamnit
Someone Taped A Razor Blade To A Shopping Cart
It’s far from easy to tell whether someone might be a psychopath because some of them know how to appear trustworthy and, well, ‘normal.’ They know how to dress well, how to compose their body language, what to say, and what expressions to make. For all intents and purposes, they seem like ordinary folks.

How the hell did that pass security? A laser capable of inflicting pain is a laser that can start a fire. Last I checked, you can't even bring a lighter onboard an airplane.
I Have No Words. Humanity Is Done
This is infuriating! This is the kind of thing that could make someone want to self harm and this is not okay
According to BBC Future, only 0.5% of people around the world can be said to be psychopaths. However, not every psychopath is a danger to the people around them. So-called prosocial psychopaths might focus entirely on the thrill of pursuing new ideas. However, these ideas themselves can shape the world in unexpected ways, for better or worse.

People At My School Threw The Pay-To-Ride Bikes In The Bushes Instead Of Putting Them Back On The Bike Rack 10 Feet Away
There is some mental disturbance where people rather break something or do something like this than just keep public stuff in good working condition, and for my life I cannot tell why they feel that way. "Just because" or "because I can do it" - and they know it's stupid, they just do it anyway.

My Friend Drives To Work In An E.v. And Was Greeted In The Parking Garage With This
This happened at my work multiple times but the worst was when I was hanging after work on the patio and these dudes roll in in a Ford excursion. Famously the largest SUV ever mass produced. They see the ONE electric car spot is is empty so they park there. The (intoxicated) driver slips the cord through a hole near the bumper. It falls out. They all laugh and work into the pub. I see it all and I work there. Went straight to the Manager on Duty and tell him about it. We find them and they head out NEVER TO RETURN. Good. I don't want drunken 40 something frat boys anywhere near where I work.
