You're aware of what animal we are, yes? Our natural habitat is the savanna. We're grassland, running monkeys. We've spread across the entire globe and put our own kind into situations we'd never ask an animal to excel.
It's practically in our own nature to try to defy nature itself, in a stroke of irony.
You're correct, for the record. People get into things they have no clue about and then animals suffer for it. But this stood out to me because we even expect ourselves to make it outside of good conditions.
- steve_adams_86 3y agoHa, this is such a great point. We're innately good at doing what most other species can't do. It makes sense we'd forget that they can't, you know, live in conditions that should kill them. For us? We'll bring a blanket or make a fire. For them? Misery and possible death. It's not unreasonable to think people might just forget how much we actually do to adapt that other animals simply can't.
