>>1026052>people have empathyCorrection: people have selective, self-serving, virtue signaling, inconsistent, CONVENIENT empathy. We're still cold blooded, chimp-out killers. We just feel the need to lie to ourselves, and pretend we aren't the apex killers other species dream of becoming.
California liberals get freaked out over coyotes eating their pomeranians. "We have to cut down on their population. They're a menace! Why I saw one today on the way to yoga practice." They're scavengers, they eat house cats and dead things. They're flourishing and adapting, nothing we've done has reduced their numbers, so fuck 'em I guess? Even though they can freely breed with wolves.
But a mutant wolf gets shot, probably after menacing a hiker or campers, a member of a dying line of canids that can't hack it..."Oh fucking no! Screw the ugly animals, a pretty animal that I like has been shot!"
And then these people go out and eat hamburgers, because fuck cows. Holy shit.
