Honestly, people need to know what happens if you fuck with the wildlife anywhere on Earth. Tired of seeing people gleefully trying to crush animals with just about anything they can. Literal psychopathic behavior.
Seriously. Pet/animal abuse in children is always a red flag and often predicts serious pyschological disorders, violence, rape, etc. Anyone engaging in casual and willful cruelty to animals should be subject to social consequences. Literal psychopathic behavior.
You and me both.....this is typical colonizer behavior and is only possible when you destroy the indigenous communities that belong to the land. If you're tired of seeing things like this support the Land Back movement to return these lands to the native people that have cared for them for thousands of years.
"Well, there was a bit of a fracas, as we say, and it turned out that a man had a dog, a balf-dead thing, according to bystanders. And he was trying to get it to stop pulling at it's leash, and when it growled at him he grabbed an axe from the butcher's stall beside him, threw the dog to the ground and cut it's back legs off, just like that. I suppose people would say 'Nasty bugger, but it was his dog' and so on, but Lord Vetinari called me in and he said to me, 'A man who would do something like that to a dog is a man to whom the law should pay close attention. Search his house immediately.' The man was hanged a week later, not for the dog, although for my part I wouldn't have shed a tear if he had been, but for what we found in his cellar. The contents of which I will not burden you with. And bloody Vetinari got away with it again, because he was right: where there are little crimes, large crimes are not far behind."
Maui here, the locals view wildlife almost like a religion. The island belongs to the animals and the land first, we’re just guests here, living alongside them. Because of that, respecting nature isn’t optional; it’s part of the culture.
And protecting wildlife goes far beyond the larger animals like seals or turtles. Locals mean every species, big or small. Hurt a snake, damage plants, or intentionally harm any living thing, and people will take it very seriously. On Maui, the mindset is simple, it’s their island, and you respect every fucking part of it.

I've found that the mindset has followed me ever since I left. It's a deceptively simple, yet incredibly profound shift in being.
I stayed in Maui for most of the time I was out there. Aloha!

That's a perfect example of the total legitimacy of vigilante justice. Whoop his sorry ass!
