All animals in all cultures live and die by society's rules as they apply to different layers of the stone that is the high stakes gamble masquerading as the stuff of life and not the outskirts of active punishment but right in your face with the their testing you for how much are you willing to take. How much moral reasoning is reasoning before it is propoganda. All animals live in the toxic shadows of the Top Predator. And they know it. How much value do you put into the Grinder Swaporama that represents your life in accordance with the United Nations' International Award for Big Dick of the Year. That we are animals, too, even on the food chain, speaks volumes to both consciousness and grief.
