Very Sad 😢

An illustration of why I support keeping a sentence of life in prison as a possibility.

that it would end differently.

But quite a few animals kill their offspring ususlly for survival but sometimes seemingly for no reason even among primates.

Animals kill their young. Maim their young. Eat their young.

Animals engage in territory-based murder. They kill for sport and practice. They rape and coerce sex for reproduction. They also bribe and wheedle and curry favor in the hierarchy and impose hierarchies by force. They engage in territorial cleansing.

As soon as you hear somebody make any argument that "if animals do it, it's natural and therefore must be moral and acceptable" as soon as you reached the "and" you were magically transported to la-la land and the appropriate response is to snort in derision and back away from the crazy.

will kill offspring or competitor's offspring for territorial matters but also will kill young to induce new mating cycle in the female... bears and cats will do this.

I used to raise aquarium fish, and several breeds had to have their babies immediately isolated or they’d be eaten.

The stray mama cat that used to get pregnant annually behind in our neighborhood was infamous for eating her babies.

It happens more often than it bears thinking about.

we are not so different when we think we are better and neither are they when we thing they are better.

He should rot in prison for the rest of his life.

He will rot in jail.

After a very horrible time there.

I am fine with the death penalty for him.

But I'm sure the prisoners will. How long will he last?
