I like this topic more than some of the never-ending political and social topics of the Off Topics forum, so here is a bump.

This topic always works best after a round of bitter political stuff.

Too many political topics at the top of the forum. This topic needed some love.

Whenever I see pictures like those I always wonder what unlikely evolutionary misfire has caused us as a species to collectively swoon over the young of most other species on earth.

It probably harkens back to our want to crawl back into the womb---any woman...human or otherwise!

Then let me enlighten you !
If we didn't get that "awwwh" feeling we would be more likely to kill baby animals. And if we killed them as baby's we would get less meat than if we kill them as adults. So I don't think it's a misfire at all. Being nice to strangers is a misfire but liking baby animals is just good business !

Oh and.....

I'm not really convinced.
This assumes we somehow had the opportunity to kill the same animal as an adult that we let live as a kid? That really isn't true in general. In nature, you usually take whatever meat you can when you can.
