This guy filmed himself swallowing a terrified baby bird whole, because LOLs.

As if chicks don’t go through enough already, a disturbing video has emerged showing a man stuffing a frightened tiny bird into his mouth – live – and swallowing.

After devouring the unsuspecting creature, feathers and all, he takes a swig of beer and looks pretty pleased with himself.

Rather than being horrified, the group of people gathered around him laugh at the animal’s ordeal.

The footage, which appears to have been shot in Brazil, was uploaded to LiveLeak yesterday.

Peta director Mimi Bekhechi said: ‘If this man did indeed swallow a chick whole… then we look to authorities to investigate.

‘We urge everyone who is upset by the possibility that this chick suffered to consider also the tens of millions of male chicks who are deemed worthless by the egg industry and gassed or ground up alive shortly after they hatch.

‘All of us can prevent cruelty to animals, such as this vulnerable little chick, by simply leaving animal products off our plates.’

Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time someone thought torturing a helpless animal by swallowing it live would be a funny idea.

When the infamous drinking game Neknomination was at its peak at the beginning of 2014, people dared each other to swallow live goldfish – until the RSPCA stepped in.

‘Eating a live animal and posting a film of it on the internet is not some light-hearted joke – it is unacceptable,’ RSPCA wildlife scientist Nicola White said at the time.
