The Video of a Hawk Eating a Pigeon on Top of a Car on Market Street You've Been Waiting For

Gotta love some real-life animal kingdom shit going on right in the middle of the city.

What I don't get is why there is such a double standard for how we humans react to animal slaughter. If this hawk had torn the head off, say, a squirrel -- every female passer-by would be disgusted and feel pity for the furry guy. But because it's a headless pigeon, it's funny.

And does a large bird tearing apart and eating a smaller bird count as cannibalism? I, a 6'6" black man, couldn't just walk down Market Street and rip the head off a smallish Asian man and devour his carcass on a Chrysler Sebring. When the hawk does it it's "cool" and "viral". When I do it it's "murderous" and "wrong".

Double standards.
