I don't like this piece. It's anthropomorphising but to little useful effect. We know animals are not humans, and imputing American C21st values to animals, which are really doing things which animals do, doesn't enlighten us one bit. There is a good point to it, but the tone, that "they're jerks" is way too simplistic for a good undersanding of the factors and survival metrics involved here. Why do x do y, and why is that different from us, here are some factors and likelihoods would be a much more useful approach.
