Stealing is a social construct. As solitary animals, whale sharks cannot engage in stealing.
This was written by the whale shark legal team.
excuse me do you practice whale shark law?
This action is specifically allowed under the Sustenance and Home Act of Reclamation and Keystone Species (SHARKS) of 1818 as proposed by Shark Whalington and ratified by the first North Atlantic Regional Wet and Humid Alliance Legislature (NARWHAL).
JELLYFISH (Joint Eurasian League Lesser Yahoo’s Front Ichtyological Society and Hagioscopists) doesn’t see that reading in the law and won’t stand for it
If they do, I wonder if they know any bird lawyers. I imagine the animal law field is a pretty small community
ACKTCHU-ALLEE, stealing is a legal construct. Laws only apply to humans, so whale sharks cannot engage in stealing.
Aren’t legal constructs are a subset of social constructs though? Also, I feel like the concept of stealing may predate laws though I have no evidence for this.
It’s got to have, right? My cat understands stealing
so we were eating chicken something. probably fajitas idk this was a while ago. my first soulcat was keeping my older brother’s chair warm while he was in the bathroom, just sitting there like they were part of the conversation. suddenly out of the corner of my eye i see this, but with a strip of chicken:

This sounds like something a whale would say
Best comment on lemmy ^
Fish in the net, 30 seconds ago: well, at least this situation can’t get ANY worse
If fishing isn’t owning, eating isn’t stealing.
You wouldn’t download a fish.
Why wouldn’t you? The internet cables are right there. Zero latency.
The whale shark: “The fuck I wouldn’t!”
Believe it or not, jail.
Overnet undernet
It’s infringement.
It is the coolest crime after all
Is there supposed to be a net in that photo? I see a black trash bag.
I think it might be a very fine net
If the holes in the net are so tiny, is that big fish just sucking fish juice and goo? He couldn’t get a whole fish out of there.
Maybe it bites it open? I dunno hey
Does the shark have a fishing permit?
More like a Swoop
