I really don't understand the ending of long teeth

The whole film is very depressing, I don't know why everyone thinks it's a bit funny. Whether it was the host who made fun of the other party's pain at first, or the police joking casually when the police were so serious, it made me feel seriously uncomfortable. In particular, I don't understand why the male protagonist is not restored to a human form at the end, or is directly killed? I thought the last scene I was rescued was that the male protagonist wanted someone to kill him, at least if I was in this situation and couldn't recover, I would definitely rather die. Even if the male protagonist hopes or leads to live in the zoo in the end, as a former girlfriend and brother, why do they bring live fish directly? Can't bring some human food? Do you really treat the male protagonist as an animal? All in all, I personally find the film deeply uncomfortable and illogical.

Tusk quotes

  • Ally Leon: [growing increasingly distraught] Sometimes I forget, that my life is... an intricate, delicate web of lies. And I feel so normal, so banal. It feels so amazing to be boring. And faithful. And sinless. I even forget what we're doing to him. 'Til I remember what he does to me. With all those empty women. And it... crushes me. And I hate him. I hate him. But I hate myself so much more for letting any man do this to me. I'm happy my dad's not alive to see this. To see his only little girl put her life on hold for some cheating fucking asshole. And I just wanna fucking die.

    Ally Leon: But every time he destroys me, you... you bring me back. You make me feel beautiful again. Cherished. You give me my humanity. Even though we're stripping it down every time we're doing this, I... honestly... I don't know how to live without you.

  • Howard Howe: Your life as you knew it is over, Mr. Bryton. So if you wish to continue living, you will be a walrus, or you'll be nothing at all.
