Way worse in the news today than a few elephants dying in a accident. Although maybe a reflection on how society becomes cold to human suffering, given over exposure.

I suspect (or hope anyway) that you're just saying that for effect and that in fact you do have some compassion for your fellow humans.

Yeah, good for you...wave a hand at images of starving people back in the '80's...yeah, they throughly deserved the drought that hit them and starved them to death in their thousands. And so do all those people living in the slums of the world watching their children die from diarreah and other completely avoidable diseases. you just don't GAF. Well done you.

Still at least fluffy nice Mother Nature is worthy of your praise...a force that has wiped out 99.9% of the species that has ever lived, created the concept of survival of the fittest through natural selection....basically the law of kill or be killed where such cruelty is allowed to thrive the likes that no human has ever devised the likes of. Yeah, you're right Humans deserve everything coming to them!

Everybody knows about the awful things that happen everyday in the world. But it's impossible to emphasize with all of it, you'd be totally overwhelmed. But I think it's fine to be sad over things that compared to some of the world's horrors are seemingly trivial. It's sadness on a managble scale, somehow therapeutic.

Good lord man...so so dont gaf about the amazing humans that created the device you posted this on...or the house they built that you live in or the fact that one might possibly save your life if your in a bad situation, or for making you a brilliant bike..i could go on but..🤔

**** you too.

How can you think this is bad and then not care about the regular stories of human parents dying trying to save their kids in the same way?

If you don't like humans (all of us?) because they are callous and uncaring, then you are part of the problem. Have a word with yourself.

And #### you right back.

I do think there are lots of sad things involving humans too, which are worthy of consideration, but I don’t think that makes this story any less sad tbh. In fact it is probably because we anthropomorphise (is that the right word?) that people feel really bad about it...

brexiteer

pretty ignorant comment...

what is it about being a remainer that makes you GAF about people?

From what I can see most remainers are basically thinking about the economic impact on them, rather than any other principles.

the way I see it is if we hadn't have had free movement then peoples attitudes towards taking refugees would have been a lot better.

I am also uncomfortable with the fact the immigration to the UK is easy for europeans but difficult and expensive for anyone else.

And then you can get on to the neo-liberal arguments and say free-movement is bad for the working classes...

It's late and the shops are closed, I might have to make my own biscuits (in other news Trump has abandoned the Kurds who helped rein in IS).

I would guess because you are not knowingly going to make people worse off, deprive them of some rights (freedom of movement), lowering of workers rights in future etc,.
By happily taking that away means in some part you don't GAF about the impact to others.

I really don't think that people's attitudes towards taking "economic migrants" would have been any better. The reality of the situation doesn't affect people's opinions, it's what the shouty bloke down the pub and the papers (red top, naturally) say.

As a remoaner, I don't think I'm allowed to care about animals wot are forruns. Probably trying to come over here and steal our jobs and benefits, simultaneously.

In reality I think it's very upsetting, and I don't think our upset at this kind of thing is due to antropomorphising animals, they clearly have very real emotions and bonds with each other, too.

Some people are of the opinion that humans are responsible for all the worlds miseries, so nobody is worthy of consideration when tragedy befalls any of us.
Animals are the original innocents so its ok to feel sorry for them.
