They may have made a mess, but its just garbage.(The food was thrown away.) Unless they are being rude then there is as much need to torture them as say, a raccoon or a peafowl.
yes, mother yukkuri is saying it knows this is human's home and they will leave soon. so please take it easy and stuff however, we don't torture raccoons cuz they have rabies. now where'd i put my mallet...
I don't know about you, but every time a raccoon flips through my fucking garbage can I feel a need to stab that little fucker with the nearest sharp object. Have you seen the kind of mess it leaves behind?
yes, then who will clean up the mess they left, they say, you clean everything and throw in the trash, here they come and eat what they want and leave the rest piled on the floor, you do not know why but I would go crazy...
Anon: "Whoa! I thought I heard something noisy going on!"
Reimu: "Yuyu! He spotted us! Little ones! Hurry and finish with munch-munch!"
Anon: "Oi, stray yukkuri! What're you doing, spreading that mess all over...?"
Reimu: "Please wait, Mister Human! Reimu and her kids aren't bad stray yukkuri! We know this is Mister Human's house!" "After we're done munch-munching, we'll get out right away, so please take it easy!"
Anon: "wut?"
Reimu: "Little ones! Hurry and fill your bellies with munch-munch, easy!"
Anon: (Wait what? Are they trying to be polite about this. These must be some kind of freak mutations.) Not translation just what I imagine is going through the guys head.
In this situation I'm not entirely sure what would be the right way to handle this. They are actually acknowledging this house belongs to a human and not them and that's kind of rare in a yukkuri.
>>They are actually acknowledging this house belongs to a human and not them and that's kind of rare in a yukkuri. And they broke in to someone else's house, made a mess and stole anon's food anyway.
The proper way to handle this situation is with the help of Mister Baseball Bat.
Hush Tea I'll let you dissect them later. Fist I want to run a series of test to determine just how far there understanding reaches. Then take some samples and maybe bread it some for further research. Then you can have them.
>>bread it some for further research. Bread it, then bake for 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes, then apply generous beatings with Mister Baseball Bat.
Regardless of being polite, they still decided to break into his house, likely raid it and make a mess everywhere and end up eating his trash (dumbass move, seeing as there would be a whole kitchen available). Better to make a pet out of one that's meant to be a pet. Smashing is the correct course of action needed here.
Now, it seems they only went through his trash, and most likely only broke a window or so to get in. No need for ridiculously overkill punishments.
Smashing the mother on the spot and crippling its hideous spawn should be enough.
Their crime? For the children, their crime is being born. That warrants the abuse. For the mother, add giving birth to its offspring to the list. That, with "being born", adds up to "death."
I don't think that politeness can make up for 1) the mess anon will have to clean, since they hadn't even mentioned cleaning it themselves, just "we eat and leave! since this is your easy place" 2) the possible brocken window, fence, etc.
It's sad but some degree of discipline is needed, maybe not killing, but maybe smacking them around and tell them that "you ask politely first and let the mister human handle it since you're a paste brain that will make a mess!"
Also tell them that the politeness is welcome and that they should stick to it.
It's a offender but not a kill or ultra violent torture worthy, just a bit of disicplinary soft bullying to make the point.
I'm lolling at the suggestion that politeness totally makes better whatever crime has been committed. I hate to make a human comparison, but in this case it works. If I find somebody burgling and ransacking my house and I catch them doing so, if they say something like "Oh hey, sorry about this, I know this is your house but I'm just helping myself to your stuff that I like and making a mess, I'll be done soon. Sorry for the inconvenience!" I'd still punch them square in the face and call the cops.
They'll make a decent torture item to kill (not that you even need a reason in the first place, mind).
Actually, making them pets can be used as a very nice torture; take them in, treat them nicely for about a week saying that you'll take them as pets because of their politeness... when they're at their happiest that they're going to become pets, crush badges in front of them, then give them the beating and shave off accessories. Smash the happiness into pieces. Then just chuck 'em onto the street like the trash they are. That, or stir up family tension by saying you'll only take in one... gah, ideas. Yet more for the writing plate when I've already been doing lots lately...
I usually would agree with you Tea in this situation but, considering the potential because of that "misguided politeness" they showed, it would make it such a waste just to kill them or torture them until they break.
Of course, punishment must be dealt, as you said, regardless of politeness this can't go unpunished because "OMG! they aren't telling me to drop dead easy or leave easy like shitheads!"
Still, i don't think death or torture would be that good, it would waste the potential, and since we are talking about Yukkuris, not humans, it makes it more important. It's true that we wouldn't be as merciful with a human doing the same, maybe not killing, but calling the cops on them etc. But considering we are talking of yukkuris, which is rare to find this level of politeness, regardless of the invading, it's better to be a bit more lenient in their "usual treatment", instead of killing them or torture them, let's give them an non lethal and non mental scarring punishment and try to teach them what they did wrong.
At least it would also help to know if their politeness is honest or a new method of "getting away with it" like the non honest "FORGIVE ME!" during a beating. If they are naturally polite, they may realize what was the wrongs they commited if you teach them, if not, well, time for use the usual methods on them.
Thinking about it, it's quite possible that the politeness here is merely a facade to try and throw people off: combined with all the other usual trash behaviour (home invasion, ransacking house and eating/taking whatever they want), it seems likely.
And judging from the responses, it works. Regardless of the politeness, home invading trash is home invading trash and deserves the same treatment. If you want a polite yukkuri, it's probably best to go get a pet breed instead of a home invader gutter trash that's probably lying and trying to play you. Although in hindsight, probably a waste just to smash and torture them straight. Forced torture breed would be a good option, which would establish if they're truly polite and eventually end up producing supposedly polite yukkuris through conditioning.
The yukkuris most likely heard from somewhere that being polite will get you what you want, so they just used that here. Yukkuris don't know why being polite in cases like this don't work and they don't know why they're being punished because they just do what they do instinctively. Trying to treat them like rational beings when they're at the gutter-trash level is kinda just asking for a lot of frustrating moments. Smash it and toss it, and enjoy spending $400 on a new piece of window.
Well see it my way, Non Pet Yukkuris that are good in the wild = Win, Lier and Hypocrite Yukkuris at the reach of my hand for "the Fun" = Win.
I wouldn't want them as pet regardless if they are truly polite. For that i would buy Gold one, regardless of it's price, you usually get what you pay for, instead of raising a silver or bronce one to make it gold and chances are they are actually "fake Gold attitude" because of growing arrogant or mistaken the reasons behind the gold badge.
If This Yukkuris are truly polite, just desperate and mistaken, i don't mind giving them some time of discipline and teaching. If they are liers, well, it's good too, since that means, time for some proper punishment for this liying shit heads.
For me it would be Win-Win regardless, it may not pay my brocken window or fence, but at least the satisfaction will be there regardless.
Some forced torture breeding would be a good way to establish it. As we pointed out, it's far more likely that it's simply a play to try and get sympathy from people, but giving them some discipline through the forced rape and non-lethal beating will show their true character. Indeed, there's problems with the silver and bronze pets; the problems would be worse with yukkuris that aren't pets at all.
Well, see, here's my problem with all of that: this is a sort of home invasion, to be sure, but there's no sign of broken glass in the picture, no smashed-up valuables, etc. Just a little mess, and from the looks of things, they were only raiding the kitchen waste bin, not going after the good food.
It's equally reasonable, from the evidence observable, that they came in through an open door or window, rather than causing property damage.
As little mercy as I feel for shithead yukkuri, this one doesn't merit much more than a flick on the forehead, plus forcing them to clean up what little mess they've made and warning them not to come back or they won't be let go so easy (heh) next time.
Totally understandable viewpoint. Though raccoons do roughly the same thing and I feel like I need to shoot something every time I clean up that mess.
Come to think of it, raccoons are a lot like yukkuris.
They come and dig up your garden. They rip up yoru garbage and throw shit everywhere. Sometimes they even terrorize smaller dogs and cats, and they chase away birds at the feeder so they can get at the food. Most things they touch they wreck.
For something like a raccoon, your average .22LR-caliber rifle would be more appropriate. Plus, it's quieter, and the ammunition is astonishingly cheap.
There is an equivalant, if you commit a crime because you have no food and your family is hungry, or steal medicine because you can't afford it, you will get a lesser punishment.
Being polite, in most cases, will also help for other crimes but this usually means for tickets or minor violations.
