I've always counted "critical steps": toes, knees, balls, navel, nipples, neck, and last of all head. But then when I go into water it's a shallow slope!

Supply alcohol to minors. It's against the law to keep alcohold out of the hands of youth.

Unbelievable.

This isn't funny at all.
Why is a terrified, distressed animal a source of amusement?

If we buy you a clue and set it at your doorstep, would you be able to use it?

It's hilarious because of the shock factor. No one expects to find a coyote burrowed into a food cooler in a market.

Animals get into weird scrapes, especially when they interlope with humans in cities. Animals, including humans, are not promised stress-free lives, nor is it a good thing for evolution. Stress induces reaction which, in the long run, produces smarter animals, and coyotes are among the smartest. They got that way long before humans began interacting with them.

If you watch any documentaries at all, you'll see that coyotes spend their lives in one long continous series of daring episodes, stealing food from others, dodging angry animals, and fighting with each other. Suggesting a momentary episode with humans is any differen than that is dishonest at worst, and unaware at best.

Their natural inclination is to explore and exploit all environments. This one is learning that grocery stores are a terrible idea.

Suggesting there is anything abusive going on is intentionally ignorant. They aren't using lethal force, and they certainly aren't doing anything extreme to the animal in getting him out of the sandwich meats.

Please have your histrionics somewhere that softheaded sentiment is the medium of exchange instead of reason.

It was a funny scene, and 99.9% of humans see it so, and we are all right. It's the unexpected, and indeed VERY funny.

I don’t find it funny either, for the same reason he did. It’s on the same level as people scaring their cats with a cucumber that was going around awhile ago.

That's perverse equation. People intentionally scaring their pet have taken an action to prank or scare their animal.

This is a case of a wild animal that strayed into a market, in Chicago, and the attempt by noticeably non-violent men with BROOMS was both amusing AND surprising.

Cruel acts SHOULD be in a different category from simple funny circumstances that were unplanned. It's not like anyone has any coyote deterrent measures for grocers.

Ramlakhan's wife was very quarrelsome. She made his life miserable. He got real peace only when he ploughed the field.

One day, while working in the field, Ramlakhan's wife brought him lunch. Then, while he was eating quietly, she kept scolding him and complaining.

Suddenly, Ramlakhan's old donkey kicked her with its hind legs, hitting her on the head and unfortunately she died on the spot.

At the funeral, the priest noticed that Ram Lakhan nodded his head up and down when the women offered their condolences.

But when men came near him and spoke to him softly, he would shake his head from side to side.

After the mourners had left, the priest approached Ramlakhan and asked, "Why did you shake your head up and down in front of all the women and nod your head from side to side in front of all the men?"

Well, Ramlakhan replied, “All the women said how nice she was, and her dress used to be very beautiful, so I agreed by nodding my head up and down.

And all the men asked the same question, “Is that donkey for sale?”


Namostute!

Has anyone ever told you that you remind them of a coyote?

It is rude to insult someone who is attempting to enlighten you. Informed reason would know better.

In my opinion the video is not funny. Looking at Chicago Critter's other YouTube videos shows that he/she doesn't post funny stuff. The content seems to be posted solely for shock value and primarily features various crimes, accidents, misbehavior in public, shootings, deaths, and the like.

If I were crawling into a cooler in a grocery, I would hope someone would pull me out by whatever means possible, and that I am not rabid.

Your perspective is that a member was trying to "enlighten" me, rather than simply registering a hypersensitve reaction to a frightened animal which is living a life filled with frightenting episodes because coyotes frequently get into scrapes with each other, with prey animals, with other predators, and with humans.

The member posting the comment has often posted rude responses, which are not exceptional for a forum and have never been for JUB.

Your opinion about Chicago Critters would be pertinent if there were some recurring posts from that source, but there is not. I first saw the video elsewhere, from a site that was not YouTube, and searched for it somewhere that JUB allows to be posted, so have never seen another item from the source.

As a video, it is in the general category of entertainment, and is a stand alone item that succeeds or fails on its own. It can be recorded by a person who is a serial killer, a U.S. Senator, or a half-wit, and the subject matter and events remain objectively the same. The forum has no standard or guideline requiring or even requesting members to be cognizant of source material authorship or reputation.

By comparison, the Mangione murder case is being championed, cheered, and made subject of comic memes on this very forum, yet no one is entering that thread to preach enlightenment or chide posters for base, even subversive and murderous intent.

The humor threads have no expectation of even being universally funny. Dozens, hundreds, or thousands of posts may be boring, droll, trite, corny, lewd, thick, or any other number of unfunny categories. We just don't laugh, and we scroll on. We don't go and wage war because someone else thinks it is funny. It is not a social justice thread, a PETA platform, or a place to expect uniformity.

The vast majority of people I know or have known, if I had gone to the store and witnessed that extraction, and told them of it when I saw them, would laugh. It's an outrageous scenario. That customers were scared, clerks, security personnel, and the coyote, doesn't change the fact that it's funny. People can be scared and amusing at the same time. LOTS of programming, cinema, and online content recognizes that.

Let's not pretend JUB Hot Topics is some kind of virtue-promoting sanctuary. We don't all see animals as personified peers. We don't all view pets as members of the family. We don't all see hyperprotective attitudes about animals as "enlightenment" rather than self-serving rationalizations that give the worrier the comfort of being superior to those who disagree.

If the video source is posting disagreeable material by your standards, then not going to his site to patronize them would be the thing to do, because the FCC and other authorities don't see shocking videos as taboo unless they show deaths or other extreme violence, which this video doesn't.

The reality remains that the coyote registered very high on the Fuck Around and Find Out scale, as coyotes often do. They are too brave for their own good when getting into trouble, and their "terror" is a common occurrence when things go south for them. Imputing some unseemly character to anyone amused at that fact, or seeing it as humorously similar to our our foibles and mistakes, is intentionally missing the reason it is humorous and more than a bit holier-than-thou.
