For the people getting upset because he didn't save it, Imagine you being soo hungry and you finally catch your only chance at survival, only for a stupid giant come along and take it away. Nature is best left alone.
Rasmus Lahti Good thing Weaselton never went savage, and that he was a coward who never tried to attack Judy when she chased him through Little Rodentia.
@@aubrey5577 ?? Gruesome ? You know that cats are predators? And they are a part of the big cats family ? Of couse they’re ripping their prey in pieces.
The saddest part about these videos is all the thumbs down from people who clearly have no idea of how an ecosystem works. They have been so far away from the reality of nature and for so long, that they are total ignorant.
I swotted my dog on the butt with a rolled up magazine because he was dragging another of our dogs by the neck, my neighbor seen it and came over screaming at me for being "abusive"... People are stupid...
Too much disney movie, were animals (and not anthro like in Zootopia, I mean 'actual' animals like Bambi or Simba) get along perfectly regardless what they eat.
@@BunnyTwist People who talk about the eco system or nature as a reason to not help suffering animals are dishonest. If they were attacked by a lion and an elephant helped chase the lion away suddenly, the eco system wouldn't matter shit to them, they wouldn't shoo away the elephant to let nature take it's course.
There is something I don't understand in the certain part of RU-vid. If they see a mamal hunting and killing a prey, everyone understands it's a law of jungle, but if a reptile does, then people get butthurt and write some shit like "I hate snakes" or something like that and wants to do some genocide on the reptiles. It smells some hypocrisy.
BoggyTheWorm I think the problem is misconception of people with each animal, if they don't like just demonize the same and want to kill it. I just hate when this pretext is used for hunting or "kill to protect me"
BoggyTheWorm It is a problem when a human is directly involved and then it's no longer considered nature. There is something to be said about the idiots commenting on wild snakes, but it isn't humane or natural to force live prey into a sufferable death by using it as _pet_ reptile food. Many reptiles will willingly take dead food that has been humanely pre-killed food and prevents any suffering on the part of prey animal. The only acceptable excuse for feeding live is if that's all the carnivore is willing to eat, and that's understandable.
Don't scare off a stoat or weasel after a kill. They use a lot of energy when hunting. If you want an equivalency, walk to a farm, hand pick all the ingredients you need, walk home, clean, chop, cook and serve it. Then imagine someone someone preventing you eating it. Be pretty pissed off wouldn't you?
If I’m gonna be honest I don’t think that was his neck, but his trachea or something, I’m not sure but the stoat did it somewhere around the front of the neck, unless I’m wrong..
Idunno what's more impressive, the fact the lad was able to take down something bigger than him or that he did it withought shedding a single drop of blood! What an absolute unit!
**people feed live animals to their pets** "OMG, how could you?! This isn't nature!!!" **people film a wild animal killing another wild animal** "Why didn't you intervene, you heartless jerk?!"
Animals hunting in the wild is not the same as people choosing to feed an animal in a cage. You don't intervene when a predator hunts, it might look cruel but the animal doesn't have much of a choice if it needs to eat and should not learn to become co-dependent on others to get their food. Feeding living mice to, as an example, a pet snake is something the owner chooses to do. There's no reason to why the animal should still be alive when given to the snake (unless if it's expected to be released into the wild, but then it's not considered a pet). I've also heard that some people declaw living kittens to feed their pet snakes. To have the animal suffer through a declawing while it's still alive and then get fed to a snake is unnecessary torture. You either kill it humanly or you don't get a carnivourus pet to start with.
As a rabbit owner, I am upset about this, but nature is nature. I would sound like a radical vegan if I were mad at this video, because a food chain very much exists & animals die all the time from being anothers prey. So, there's literally no point in getting pissing over this video.
True well said for once 💯. Ppl have the right to get upset sadly thats how the chain works. I would probably still try to save the rabbit, even if it meant it loses its meal but finds it later. I just cant help it
Not exactly. The new Pokémon is based on a mongoose. Mongooses are more related to cats than stoats. Stoats, in turn are related to weasels and ferrets, who are closer related to dogs. The specific kind of mongoose is the small Asian mongoose introduced to Hawaii and other islands, such as Puerto Rico, as an invasive species. In fact, I have the skull of one in a glass jar in my room!
Gustavo Delgado You're telling me that this little thing, and that Pokemon don't look similar at all? I don't care in which exact animal is inspired... I'm done.
Never said they look similar, just said what is was based off of. Plus, if you search up small Asian mongoose, and compare it to Yungoose, you will see it resembles it more than the stoat.
I thought the same thing. a stoat. wth is a stoat. I can't relate to the Pokémon comparison. too old probably. my thoughts were that it is the Hoyse Gracie of the animal kingdom. scary lil fucker. sheesh!
Stoats are amazing predators; some of their hunting techniques have to be seen to be believed. If this one hadn't been disturbed by the person, it would have carried off that much bigger rabbit. If stoats were the size of, say, a wolf, they would be absolutely terrifying.
Ruth Mckay I suspect a large animal would just not be as agile. Even wolverines are not - despite being very strong. Large animals typically aren't obscenely fast and agile - at least by comparison. Weight increase due to increase of volume ( square-cube law ) makes fast metabolism and movement too costly.
What energy! What agility! That last twisting, snapping motion of the stoat is a great example of the stoat using his incredible quickness to do with momentum, what he couldn’t do by sheer weight on a prey many times his size.
rabbits have no business serving in the police force. Same goes for women on the front line. What if a female soldier got captured by the Islamic Stoat?
Why is everyone so angry that this person didn't help the rabbit? First if all, a lot of rabbits get killed. Every. Single. Day. Second of all, if you want to end up in the hospital, by all means, go ahead and take prey away from a predator. I'm sure it'll tell you exactly what it thinks of getting hard-earned food snatched away from it! So, if saving the cute, fuzzy animals is your logic, fine. I guess next time you want to eat chicken nuggets, I have the right to snatch them away from you, because the cute little chickens are _sooo_ cute and definitely deserve to live more than humans do. Prey animals deserve to live, but predators don't deserve to starve.
For all of those out there giving all attention to the bunny: Mabey that thing should have learned some better kicking skills so it didnt get strangled by a snake with fur
Fabián CT bc you are an idiot. Nature doesn’t need your help shithead. You’re not wanted, so fuck off. And you might as well not even reply, as you’re probably gonna say something stupid bc you’re offended
The suffering and death part isn't nice, especially as a rabbit owner, but you have to marvel at the way the stoat took down an animal larger than himself. Life and death situation, life for the stoat and death for the rabbit.
+M Master poor bunny... fuck that circle of hell when i was here i'm gonna kill that stoat and save the bunny they are little fluffy and defensless we must save them CIRCLE OF HELL STOP HIM!!!!! now i must watch videos how stoat dies and i am gonna feel 1000000000.000 times better
+Kristian Krasimirov So you think you can teleport all over the world and save every creature? NO. There are millions of creatures dying and being born every second. Of course the bunny is defenseless. You think the bunny is Xman? NO. Go with the food chain. God, didnt you learn about that in kindergarten?
So, people that said to help the bunny, y'all gotta understand that death is not something awful, we are meant to die. Not only that is my argument, but this is food chain, what are you gonna do? Interfere because you have "merciful" ideals but in reality, you're just messing up nature. You can't interfere something you don't understand, saving something that is almost dead, is torture. Instead, leave it, because it will have a merciful death, rather than being saved and screaming in pain for hours, days, or who knows, the rabbit couldn't walk because the predator snapped its spine? Thanks for attending my TED Talk
Just said the same thing a second earlier before I saw your comment. But it seems like we're trying to reason with folks with an IQ lower than the very rabbit's in this video.
I love how people really gonna get butthurt over not saving the bunny, like, that stoat more than likely hadn't caught any food in days, so when it saw it's opportunity to not starve to death, it took it, remember vegan and vegetarians: even small animals kill each other all the time, it's called an ecosystem and the cycle of nature.
Amazing he stuck it out after realising you were there. I had a similar lucky moment years ago, unfortunately he scattered once he was aware of my presence. Great video!
I'm glad you did not interfere. It is hard to hear those squeaks, but nature is nature, and that stoat earned his kill. Thank you for not stepping in like a lot of people would have.
+cantecleer No they wouldn't they're just blowing smoke. Had they been in that situation they would've stood and watched. Besides stoats, weasel 's and minks are incredibly hyperactive creatures that think would have messed anyone else who would have jumped in.
He did step in and basically interrupted the stoat's kill 😱😱 did you not see the stoat run away at the end of the vid??👓🔍I bet the idiot stooped so low as to eat the rabbit himself.... I'd bet on it
It is nature, yes. This kill was filmed, but there are countless kills over the years that never get filmed, so it's not like this was staged, it happens everyday whether we see it or not. What is NOT nature, however, is what happens at the end of the video. The stoat killed the rabbit because it needed to eat, and this guy who filmed the kill interrupted that natural process by scaring the stoat away, and because of that, the rabbit basically died in vain and will just rot right there (provided it wasn't found by another predator), and all the energy that the stoat used in subduing and killing the rabbit went unrewarded. That was the actual dick move, and he should be ashamed.
Chloe DolphinLee If I saw a grown ass human being slowly chewed to death by a creature a quarter their size, all while squealing like a little girl instead of fighting back, I'd call them a pussy too. Mice are prey animals too, and yet they fight fucking snakes when cornered. Rabbits have no excuse.
And plenty have been saying carnivores can eat berries. It's true, only a little bit, but the same way goes to herbs with meat :D, deer eating tiny birds, turtle stalking baby bird before striking, it isn't that well known but it's there.
@@Cutepaw_kittycatcat That's because you were abused by your parents, and you deal with your mental and emotional pain by enjoying watching animals and people suffer. I'm sorry you were abused by your parents or step-parents, but I hope you get the help you need.

0:43 omg they kicked it 0:45 aaannnddd it came back again "oh you think you're gonna kick me away and run away that easy?! nice trying i will never let you go while i'm going to eat you!"
Do rabbits ever put up a fight against stoats?? I have seen stoats kill rabbits in all of the videos that I have seen and the rabbits always seem so defenseless.
Rabbits can't precisely defend themselves from a predator that's faster and more agile than them, and that could kill them with one single bite in the right spot.
+Tommy Hass Yes, rabbits run very fast but so do the stoats and the rabbits seem to tire and then the stoats catch up to them and attack for the kill. And as far as the rabbit kicks for defense, I have not seen any of them do that in the videos I have seen.
+Doug Celeste They would if the stoat was attacking from the front, but the problem is that stoats, along with pine martins, ermines, weasels, and ferrets they attack the back of the neck of ALL of their victims which they can't do anything about.
+Netsaver Thanks for your comments and you are right about where these animals like to attack their victims. I have NEVER seen a rabbit win in any of these encounters with these animals.
Doug Celeste Yeah they're like that with a lot of their prey, even birds who can fly can be taken down due to that neck bite, in fact I believe there's a few videos showing that.
To all the butthurt crybabies Rabbits aren't any better, they eat their own goddamn babies just because they're stressed. That stoat could've been a mother trying to feed its babies and yet here you are crying about it, if you like dogs or cats just know that neither one of them would hesitate to maul a rabbit and you'd still say "Awww!".
@@thethirdphase7726 Not really. They say stuff like lack of empathy or you are a psyco. I saw a lack of empathy comment on a vid where the rabbit died in one hit. It had 32 likes.
@@kumiplastindonesia7900 well who said they cant? Like um.. cats they can be highly aggresive as strays but can be so different as house pets im not sure if stoats can be pets like ferrets can.. but ay im just sayin
SICKO MODE MAN don’t be rude, you rarely even see a rabbit get killed by an animal with a slow and horrible death. I wouldn’t be surprised if almost all the people I know don’t even know rabbits make noise, now hush you’re mouth boy.
They do! It's just that they are almost always quiet, or make very soft noises, probably because they never abandoned the prey mentality and are always on the lookout to run from anything that could want to kill them...
To the people pissed this guy didn't help the rabbit; this is how nature works and it's how it's always worked. Just like people work every day to earn money and put food on the table this stoat worked hard for a meal. Of course, I don't expect basement dwellers who live off welfare and their parent's income to understand this.
"Stoats are people too!" :) Kidding aside, yeah, it's best to not interfere in this case. If anyone's concerned about the rabbit suffering, it would be brief as stoats deliver a "coup de grâce" bite that severs their prey's spinal cord with wickedly sharp teeth.
Xaq I don't have anything against those who feel sad about it as I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel sorry for the rabbit. My comment was directed at the people who called the person who filmed this a bad person, amongst many other things, and were pissed he/she didn't help the rabbit when it would've been just as cruel to the stoat to help the rabbit. I just don't like hypocrites.
Mh, so this guy basically watch the stoat kill the rabbit, then got close, scared the stoat, and took the rabbit home so he could eat it. Now that's why humans are the best.
That is just the cameraman hitting his camera. The rabbit was still alive at :43 and screaming, so it didn't have its windpipe crushed. It would have died right then. pffff 0:39....dramatic aren't you?
Anyone who thinks this is cruel doesn't know what cruelty is. If anything, the stoat was going easy on that rabbit by going for the neck. There are worse ways for predators to eat you.
It’s because people that got sand in their vaginas can’t handle watching these types of videos, even though they chose to watch them in the first place.
To every person crying about how he should help the bunny - did you nom on your dinner today already? Yes? Are you nice and full? Well, then let the animal have it's dinner as well. As 'cruel' as it is, and as animal lover I'm perfectly aware it is and I do feel QUITE sorry for the rabbit, it's part of nature, it's a living being just like any other and just like most others it has it's right to hunt, feed and survive. Before you cry some more, go off and do a research on how the animals you or/and your family munch on die in slaughterhouses/what conditions they live in before the slaughter. But fair warning - might be a bit of a shock for your sensitive eyes and mind.
If the rabbit was saved, the stoat loses it's meal and potentially faces starvation. People don't realize but it had to happen whether they like it or not. And the other thing though is that stoat may in fact have babies so anything happens to that parent then the rest of em die of starvation.
Not all slaughterhouses are bad, most do give animal humane conditions and give them a painless death. Also, would you like to see a horse eat a chicken nugget?
@@somelamenamehowaboutmr.juk6231 Never said all are bad, although some are certainly... deserving less praise than others. Ah, herbs eating meat... XD Have seen it myself, actually.
Mike Garcia Yeah, they are clearly playing the old game called "Chase you down, bite the shit out of your neck till you're dead, then consume as much of your flesh as I can fit in my stomach." The Rabbit seems to be having a wonderful time.
My cat heard that rabbit and came running in and started looking all over the place. He was feral for the first three years of his life but has been at our house for the past 8 years.
Sorry guys but nature doesn't choose sides. All nature does is put predators and prey in the same environment and give both a unique set of skills and advantages. The Rabbit has speed, godlike hearing, and strength in it's legs to defend itself. While the Stoat has teeth, claws, and is also insanely fast. Both are somewhat evenly matched and if the Rabbit was aware of the Stoat this could've turned out differently. But the Stoat won, he deserves to feast on the Rabbit.
The stoat has two more advantages over the rabbit: its nearly limitless stamina and the fact that rabbits are so dumb that they don't even recognize their own screams.
+ReptileSpOt yeah i thought that for a moment, then remembered how stupid rabbits are. They'll lay down in front of a lawn mower without a care in the world.
Weasels, ferrets , stoats, etc are badass animals- they used ferrets to keep rat numbers down in ships for hundreds of years. I have seen wild mink in Maine swim into the water and come out with huge fish....
You're not alone. For me, I find the predator/prey struggle fascinating. The rabbit's voice is also a factor. Rabbits sing so prettily, but only when they're being caught by a predator. At other times, they keep silent as part of their defense.
So you idiots would rather the guy filming interrupt nature and make the stoat runaway then he or she starves and all the baby stoats starve. Then the rabbit gets killed by another animal because it was already injured and even if you took the rabbit to a recovery center and release it afterward it'll end up being killed by another stoat or animal.
I like how a lot of people think that this is wrong on some level... when you watch the national geographic channel and see the little zebra running down to the water hole to get a little drink of water beacuse its so hot.... and the camera man has been filming a group of crocodiles in there. do you think he should throw down his camera and start shouting NO ZEBRA!!! NO!!!!!! THERES A CROCODILE!!!!! ........ didn't think so. the stoat is a predator,it kills things to eat. it eats rabbits. it was filmed doing what it would have done in nature anyway. and if people didn't like watching predatory animals eating and catching things, then David Attenborough and crew would run out of things to film fast....
I was thinking the same thing. I mean if he was filming someone forcing dogs to fight or some kind of man on animal crime & did nothing I'd totally get why everyone would be upset... but this is just nature.
Nice video, I'm surprised you didn't scare the stoat at all. To everyone saying this is cruel, it would only be cruel if he captured both the rabbit and the stoat and let them fight against each other in a cage and filmed that.
Although a screaming rabbit is tough to listen too, the Weasel deserves that kill. They are extremely cunning, agile and smart predators. A bite to the throat and/or neck and it's all over.
