@JLeslie “As far as cats and dogs, I was taught they are natural enemies (I have no idea if that is really true) so seeing them happy together is like the Israelis and Palestinians finding a bond. There can be peace in the world.”
It’s kind of funny that you should say this, because I have a (vegan, of course) friend who will occasionally post these kinds of “predator and prey are cute friends!” videos, and rather than make me happy, they invariably make me sad.
A lion is only a lion because it has had to become good at killing gazelles. And a gazelle is only a gazelle because it has had to become good at running in fear from lions. Seeing the two of them be cuddly together is like a brief glimpse at two freaks of nature, before they are bestowed Darwin Awards.
It’s not a sign that there can be peace in the human world. Their world is nothing like the human world.
