“One day I was a young boy…when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. Even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued… As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and the pink roes spilled out much to the delight of the baby otters. Mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that is when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.”
Lord Vetinari- Pratchett’s “Unseen Academicals”
“you have to start out learning to believe the little lies (before you can believe the big ones) justice. mercy. duty. that sort of thing….. take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. and yet.. you act like there is some ideal order in the world, as if there is some rightness in the universe which it may be judged”

the man’s got a handle on my entire worldview. Not a single of his books has gone by without at least one moment of me looking up and grabbing the nearest passerby and saying: “See? See?! THIS is what I’ve been telling you for years!”
To many deep-thinking philosophers springing-up around here over a couple of simple pictures of a bird eating it’s meal, something that happens millions of times a day.
One must eat the other
Who runs free before him
Put him right into his mouth
While fantasizing
The beauty of his movements
A sensation not unlike
Slapping yourself in the face
if a person did this it would be a crime. but if an animal does it, it’s ok

We already do this, we are just more civilized and cook it first.
that’s because crime and justice is a man made concept.
I like how the dumb fucking fucks with voting boners upvote this bland half wit stupidity.
HE MEANS DROWN A BUNNY, FUCKFACE!
good lawd
I’m starting to wonder if these idiots farts really do smell good or something since they seem so compelled to sniff their own.
I had no idea they could eat mammals.
You ever see a mother prairie dog defending its young from a hungry rattlesnake? If nature was indifferent, why would they bother?
Nature is not indifferent. It does what it has to do.
Nature is indifferent. Individual actors within nature are not.
Aren’t you personalizing this “Nature” a little? Just asking.
Yes, nature is a girl with perky tits and goes by the name of Suzie! There. Personal enough?
That’s a shame, cuz that’s a really cute bun-bun.
Consume and reproduce.We do it too.

You people need to get out more.
Pat, I’d like to buy a vowel…
Unless this was a toast to all those deep-thinking philosophers, in which case…CHEERS! *raises glass and drinks deeply*
There’s also text – quite a significant ommission given that it’s philosophical.
Please. Hasn’t anyone ever been to Taco Bell?
In the bird’s defense, rabbit is tasty. Bit lean, though. Still, rabbit with spuds is a tasty meal.
