Does rooting for the preadtor in nature shows make me evil?
I've always rooted for the predator, ever since I was a little kid.

4. Yes, it does.
You should be deeply ashamed of yourself, and should never allow yourself around small children or kittens.

5. Yeah, especially the cats.
I always feel bad when the lions' and cheetahs' prey gets away and the little cubs go hungry. I should feel sorrier for the wildebeests and antelopes, too, and I do when they actually get caught; but I generally find myself rooting for the cats.

6. NO. It has nothing to do with that
Though it is possible that it is somehow symptomatic of your inherently evil nature. :rofl:

7. Does rooting for the Scavenger make me an environmentalist?
Scavengers get a bad rap.......

8. It doesn't make you evil, it merely reveals that you are.
:hippie:

9. Not at all
As much as we'd like to think of ourselves as highly evolved, we're still not that far removed from our predatory past. Fortunately, we can find non-violent ways to express it. Want to see a predator? Just watch my wife when she sees a yard sale sign! ;)
