When Pets Revert To Being Predators

In the Lewiston Tribune, Kathy Hedberg columnizes: “People can fool themselves when they have one dog or a single cat into thinking the creature is really mostly human and shares the same thoughts, feelings and fealty to the Boston Red Sox as its owners - or, as advocates for non-humans prefer — its co-habitators. In reality, there was a time when dogs and cats ate human beings. This was a long time ago, however, and for the most part we have moved on and now are very thick. But the evolutionary gap is actually not as wide as we sometimes let ourselves believe. All you have to do to be reminded that humans and animals were never intended by God to share the couch and eat out of the same popcorn bowl is to buy a few more pets.” More here.
