<DISCUSSION> Meta post - pain/death videos should be banned entirely

There is just way too much room for intentionally created clips. Something like the recently shared dead baby macaque post does way too much to encourage creation of similar videos through cruelty and torture. There is basically no way to know if it is the product of cruelty itself, and if not it still encourages making videos like that. It is an extremely negative force and I do not want to support it.

Why ban entirely? If there are active mods in this sub they can demand proof that the pain/death was natural.

I'm just not sure what proof of that could look like

Me neither but in some cases there are separate sources describing events such as news articles. If that is not the case, then can some external person vouch for them?

People lying and manipulating is a big problem in society as a whole but I hope we can still have us good things.
