“Does your dog bite?”
“No, it’s worse. He lectures you.”

[randomdan]

"Is it dead?"
"Yeah..He's Dead"

2 lines, with such distant parallels

[SuperiorEdits]

“Are they vicious for wanting to live?”
Is honestly a hard line and impactful one

Same with “the only real difference between them and I, is that I don’t gotta hunt for my food.”

[PIKATHUNDER]

The fact jack pays his respects after the conversation really sells his remorse

[metanightmare]

The first sheep's pragmatic response was honestly fair because it focused on how the wolf's death was good for them, but the rest made the mistake of taking the principles of nature personally. They were just being spiteful.

[jexelbur]

Despite the justification, Jack never says what the wolves do is “good”. And if he was the one who killed the wolf, he wouldn’t say it’s a good thing he killed it or even it’s bad that the wolf died. Jack is just doing his job to protect the sheep, and the wolves are doing their job to survive.

It’s just a consequence of living.

[DoubtlessCar]

Farmer: "Hey I have a question I need to ask you about the dog I bought from you"
Breeder: "What does it truly mean to be bought...can one ever really say they own a wild animal, you merely provide an easier form of survival for it..."
Farmer: "Dude you can have this philosophy all you want, but stop teaching it to the dogs! It's freaking out my sheep!"

[blazingeagle]

Not only does this video show the harsh reality of life, but it also shows how to put somebody in their place.

[jaqhy-chan]

It’s heavier knowing that in the comic prior, Jack basically condemned them to that fate by denying them food. He mightve been doing his job, but one can imagine he still feels responsible.

[williamnone]

Jack pays his respects even to his enemies. In this gesture he shows wisdom and compassion. These things are in short supply these days.

To think someday their master will come for one of them for the exact same reason as wolf did

[Артём-цсъ]

Dog’s voice actor so brutal and chill at the same time. So beautiful for ears

[reyveronasworld]

I can’t help but imagine hearing the other wolves in the distance, howling mournfully for their dead packmate.

[pitioti]

The dubbing is SPOT ON !! That was just perfect and really emotionnal ! Y'all did a great job !
This shepherd dog got his head on his shoulder and don't forget the harsh reality of his ennemies ! That was pure cinema !

[perrid]

Saying it’s “good he suffered” is too far, but at a certain level you can’t expect sheep to be sad a wolf can’t kill them.

[ReySchultz]

He's giving a soldier's speech.

Hate is dominant on the battlefield, but when the dust settles, in the end the enemy is just like you, doing his job or what needs to be done.

[Almendr]

Someone said it on the original comic, I think, but I also wanna point out how Big Jack doesn't ask the sheep to straight up feel bad for the wolf or sympathize with it. He understands there's a complicated dynamic there, where they both want to live at the obligated expense of the other, but he doesn't want to hear them gloat about the death of a creature that, as far as they know, doesn't kill out of sadism or pleasure (within the comic).

I also have to wonder if it makes him think a little, how if he was less fortunate, the flock he's protecting would wish him a painful, lonely death, too.

I like how people try and defend the morality of the wolves but then instantly call you evil and without reason for eating another homeless man (I was hungry).
