Here
is what we should have
learned
as we matured to an
age
of understanding—a carni-
vore
will eat you when they
become
big enough. You are
a
fulfilling meaty meal to them
especially
when they are hungry
at
feeding time. The herbivore
satiates
itself peacefully grazing
on
leaves and grass. Omnivores,
on
the other hand, are disposed
to
go either way. A garden salad
now
and again is a delight, but
occasionally
a burger or rib eye
appeal
to the more voracious
flesh-eating
appetite. The lesson
here
is clear, and hopefully you
have
come to know, all three of
these
are capable of dealing death
and
destruction. The rhino while
content
with vegetation feeding,
will
charge and gore you with its
horn
at the slightest provocation.
A
tiger, even the well-fed one,
will
maul and drag your carcass
away
to feed upon another day.
As
for humans, what can I say?
Should
you receive an invitation to
the
Donner Party, I would strongly
suggest
you not attend. Likely,
there
will be more than dancing
and
drinking going on. And for
heaven’s
sake, be especially wary
should
you be told bringing a
cover-dish
is not required.
