Feral behavior in the domesticated idiot.
Is it not odd to find territorial activity in animals whose instincts are so far gone that they believe Adam and Eve had toilet paper?
Is it not odd to find life-long mating among animals whose instincts are so far gone that they think a bullet is civilized while using their teeth for self-defense is foul play?
Is it not odd to find protection of the young in the habits of animals whose instincts are so far gone that they send said young to schools that remove any remaining instinctual behavior from them and leave a gaping hole in their souls that the commercial predators are ready and willing to fill?
Is it not odd to find matriarchal dominance on the wane in animals whose instincts are so far gone that the males believe that carrying a piece of paper home is the same as providing food?
Is it not odd to find ecological niche protection in animals whose instincts are so far gone that they kill members of their own species based on what is written on a piece of paper?
Is it not odd to find watering hole defensive behavior in animals whose instincts are so far gone that they go to the bathroom in their water supply?
