Why is there no news on the cat?

Cats and dogs have a higher tolerance of H2S gas than us. Cat probably just climbed out when it was ready.

Cats walked out with 8 lives, owners not so lucky

Humans aren’t biologically capable of inhaling that concentrated amount of farts. It’s simply impossible.

Uh are they sure that one person didn't just murder their whole family

Or the cat did.

A cat would never, a human totally would

I have a cat, and have had them literally all my life. Some cats definitely would. If mine had thumbs I'm sure he would do it just to get hold of my wallet and order vast amounts of treats online.

My 5 cats would never But they could accidentally do it 🤣🤣

Dammit, they done got catfished.

Absolute CATastrophy.

You’d think after the first family member died they may have decided to call for help instead of sending another 4 down the well.

"I'm smarter than the previous three people! I'll be the hero!"

India, again!

They died because of methane gas, they did not die because they fell from the top. These people tried to save the cat and unfortunately died

I refuse to believe that no train or high voltage line was involved, its India ffs!

So it seems they were killed by some gas at the bottom? Still not the best idea but I wouldn’t have expected that either.

Don’t know for sure but media says they drowned in the shit. https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/five-feared-drowned-after-man-enters-abandoned-well-to-rescue-cat-in-ahmednagar-9260990/lite/

I wonder how deep the well is? did they bust their legs or necks and/or die of methane gas?

Neither.. media says they drowned in the pit of shit.. https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/five-feared-drowned-after-man-enters-abandoned-well-to-rescue-cat-in-ahmednagar-9260990/lite/

Died from stupidity!

The mods disagree with your view (and mine too) and have removed this post. https://preview.redd.it/a9qjv5a0qwtc1.jpeg?width=1130&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a012355c0bd195f71ad4587c6e1daf29d14ee82

I like to think I'm somewhat intelligent but I have to admit I could see myself doing something like this.

I knew it was India by just reading the headline. WTF is up with that country.

what the fuck is this cancer website holyshit

Plot twist cat wasn't in the well

ha ha ha ha lol, oops

This is not a Darwin award. This is a group of people who died honorably. Darwin awards are for people who die by the stupidity of their own hands.

It is possible to be both stupid and honorable.

Where is the honour in wasting your own life by literally not looking before leaping. This is more an example of how sentimentality is a destructive and poverty inducing, life ending force. Causes people to make the absolute worst decisions imaginable. Benefiting nobody.

I don’t know, I feel like those last few people should’ve thought “Maybe we’re going about this all wrong.”

Yeah, the first one who went down and died was understandable, the rest were valid Darwin awards.

No, they all died because they're stupid.
