Cats, dogs, bears, owls, weasels. Most of them could seriously injure/kill an average human with minor difficulty and yet we find them adorable?

Does not compute.

    Humans are relatively defenseless but specialize in child rearing.

    This gives us an advantage in taking pets. If you’re gonna form a bond with an animal it’s better if that animal is a predator because they can fight more effectively.

    It makes more sense to give scritchy-witchies to a grizzly-wizzly than to a bunny-wun.
