Wild Dogs Pop Huge Pimple on Buffalo

A buffalo with a large hernia was separated from the herd and was no match for a pack of hungry wild dogs.

This sighting was captured by 42-year-old, Wildlife Safari Guide, Sebastian Sande Sakala, while on a game drive with guests in the Lower Zambezi National Park.

“The wild dogs chased the herd and were able to separate a female buffalo with a large hernia (caused by complications with giving birth) from the herd. The wild dogs started attacking the buffalo until they brought it down. They went back to the den that evening to rest and care for the young and were back in the morning to finish off their hard-earned kill.”

“The wild dogs were joined by vultures and hyenas and by the afternoon there was nothing left of the kill.”

“I was very excited to see a kill and it was one of the most memorable sightings I have ever seen!”

“Don’t forget that we are in their natural environment, and it is important to give the animals space when they are hunting.”

I fully understand that this is a natural part of the animal kingdom and should not be interfered with, but I'm concerned how funny these people found it. Laughing at another living being's pain is messed up.

When the Buffalo just stayed there, exhausted, and weak he gave up. It’s like he knew it was his time.

You've got to be another kind of jaded to laugh at an animal getting eaten alive rear end first. Some humans are just disgusting.

That wasn't his belly that was a BOIL / abscess that overgrown - he was likely already in huge amounts of pain before they showed up and cornered him because of the pain from the boil, they released the fluid but likely infected themselves in the process. Be happy you have a life that's at peace and not in consent fear of living like these majestic creatures.

It is so very difficult to watch an animal be eaten alive. Its one thing when the animal is killed and then they start eating it, but to just see it stand there with no way to escape and they are attacking its rear end has to be so painful. I know its nature but it still really saddens me. Poor thing.

Can't imagine the pain that buffalo went through damn

[flxpper]

Mad respect for the cow it kept up for a long time Rest In Peace soldier

Imagine fighting all your life in the wild, getting surrounded by predators who rip your insides out through your groin...only to have a bunch of hairless apes gawk, mock and laugh as they take footage

Nature is often cruel, but hearing people laugh at such a scene is even worse.

[vikotto]

I’ve been told I’ve got a cold heart to certain things but hearing this person laughing really hit a nerve.

Advantages of being a huge animal: you are tough to kill.
Disadvantages of being a huge animal: you are also tough to kill.
If the predators can't kill you, they just eat you alive.
(And yes, it is feeling pain)

Lady laughs in the background like shes watching some sitcom

I am grateful for the footage. I wish the observers would have been more solemn instead of laughing at this scene. It's one thing to be curious and acknowledge that life is messy and brutal, but it's another to relish in the agony another life is going through.

[Reaper]

The fact it stayed standing for that long is amazing

[insolentchild]

The buffulo has the same pain receptors as us. Imagine that was you. Got to be grateful for your life everyday

2 points to address
• Laughing: We sometimes laugh to deflect dealing with gruesome events.
• "It doesn't feel anything": If you get into shock, you might not feel any pain. I had an axe to the bone, and felt no pain for 1 hours. After 2 hours – the pain was hell.

_Man, these wild dogs are a pain in the ass_

It's pretty gross that the person filming this was laughing so hard while watching a poor creature suffer so. I recognize that it is the natural order of things, and I'm not suggesting they should have interfered in any way at all, but laughing while watching such tortuous pain demonstrates almost sociopathic levels of a lack of empathy. It's just super gross.

This woman laughing at an animal in agony? It tells you everything about her character and feelings.

I don’t believe for one second that they “Don’t feel anything”. They literally can’t express pain how humans do. It’s physically impossible. But they feel pain 100%
