Beyond food and people

[Igel]

1. Odd. Sort of sounds vaguely submissive.

‘That’s right. We can’t accept the idea that we are part of the food chain. We eat other species all the time, we do dreadful things to other species and we see that as quite natural, but when we’re attacked by other species and they treat us as food, well, that’s unbelievable. We can’t accept that at all.’

Dunno, I can. It's completely normal for other predators to think of us as food.

That does not mean that we have to accept it and not fight back to discourage it.
