What the Dog Told Me

I have two dogs at home, one is a typical fuzzy and friendly canis familiaris, the other has been described as a "feral, mysterious bitch".

Now the feral bitch is not often liked. She obsesses over pack order, house rules and domination. As the Alpha bitch, she regularly engages in rape upon the more dopey male dog of the household. She would actually prefer it if he just died, and exhibits this often by trying to drink all of his water to the point of bursting. She regularly shows off her powers over the weaker dog-- by yanking his tail, blocking his way and being generally fearless.

Now I asked this Alpha bitch, if she knew all along that pack order increased the wolves genetic resilience. She just looked at me and said, "duh-- sympathy for the weak leads to the elimination of your species."

Yikes!! I did not want to know this. Good grief. Us human animals who often strive to be humane, are actually genetically wired to eliminate the weak. Thus our tendency to bully those that are different or vote the Tea Party line.
I can hear the conservative caucus howling in their dens.....
