That's only fair. But I don't have much control over that facet of our potential, new-found, surrogatedly father-son relationship. Wanna go in the yard and play catch?

That would be all well and good when humans didn't have control over the whole planet and we're nomad/scavengers themselves.
Now we need to think about how our actions can impact society as a whole since if the system isn't balanced out, it will end in chaos and destruction. Matter of time before we disrupt the cycle and it can no longer sustain itself. In which case the planet and life will survive, but humans probably not.
Millions, even billions of people who think their contribution doesn't contribute. Makes a large difference. It's like thow ing trash out your window while driving, "it's not like it makes a difference" we'll when you and 10 million people think that way, it makes a large difference.
We don't know how far the ripples of our actions travel throughout time, and nature and animals are something we need to live along side of, instead of against. Especially if we want to continue as a species down the line.

As long as it's been a learning experience.
I've unnecessarily killed a lot of animals in my time. But the reflections that followed, brought empathy.
I suppose we grow from any and all kinds of little happenings, forgive me for ever sounding too harsh. I'm a hypocrite.

Even house cats will snatch a hummingbird off the feeder and chew on it for a bit before dropping it off in your driveway. Seen it before. Nature has it's own set of rules.

House cats are ruthless. They kill for the hell of it.

Not a hippy, just rational and realize my actions have consequences.
Rather be a hippy then a keyboard warrior.

thats because they realize the house is yours, they leave the hummingbird on your driveway as a show of respect for letting them roam around your yard unchecked.
So again, you people are wasting perfectly good animals, it was your duty to get that hummingbird and cook it up

Is it also like when your 4 year old scribbles an awful crayon drawing of daddy, which looks nothing like him, but you feel obligated and compelled to tape it to the fridge anyways?

ITT we rationalize our behavior based on the house cat model.
Does anyone else see this thread title and immediately think of Metallica?

House cat model is just an interesting anecdote. Food for thought, or speculative fodder, if you will. And the thread title makes me think about people.

Yeah because house cats have the ability to comprehend that their actions impact more then just them. Not even worth speculating since it takes 2 seconds of thought to realize why its a shitty anecdote.
Edit: my bad, I've been in a bad mood for other reasons and ive been being a dick all day because of it, realized after I hit send it's misdirected anger.
