I think you're making it out to be far more burdensome than it actually is. A case like this would probably be over in like an hour. The really bad guys are still gonna get theirs too.
Edit: also, I'm adversely affected. Plenty of other people are too. I may not be harmed physically or mentally but I'm pissed that someone hurt a defenseless animal. I don't like being pissed. I'd consider that an adverse affect.
AND, QUIET IMPORTANTLY!
An animal was hurt/adversely affected. Maybe you disagree but I feel as a society we owe it to our dependent and independent critter friends to keep them safe from bullsht like what happened in the video. I'd also go as far as to say we owe them the decency and respect to not raise them by the billions, give them ****ty lives, and kill them for something as pointless as meat but that's another discussion.

By more or less pardoning this act you are in a way condoning it. And outside of MB this particular case has probably been forgotten by most people who've seen the video.
