I was a tourist in Athens once. Adjacent to the Presidential Mansion is the National Garden, quite lovely. At the time it had a miserable little zoo. In one of the cages was a pair of bedraggled hens. Their backs were entirely bare of any feathers. The reason they were bedraggled and bare was because they were locked in with a rooster. That rooster would mount and rut with them every four seconds or so, all day long, every day. It was one of the most cruel and grotesque tableus I've ever seen.
- spookie 1y agoThat's normal rooster behaviour even when free range. Farmers separate them most of the time.
- edm0nd 1y agonature is cruel. if you think about it, most animals die fucked up deaths and end up starving, injured, or being torn apart by a predator.
- rendall 1y agoThat was not nature. That was a human who made the decision to keep those birds penned up together.
- dyauspitr 1y agoMost creatures pretty much procreate by rape.

- IAmBroom 1y agoDo you raise any livestock?
- rendall 1y agoI don't. I help around a friend's horse farm sometimes.
- dyauspitr 1y agoI’m making my point that virtually all procreation is rape so calling it rape seems silly.
- rendall 1y agoHmm. You know this reveals more about you than it does about "nature", right? If you're serious, I suggest sincerely that you see a therapist, and not allow yourself to be alone with women (or otherwise whomever you are attracted to) until you get the ok. Your outlook is likely to lead to trouble for you and others.
- dyauspitr 1y agoWell sure but that’s normal behavior.
