People Divulge The Dark Facts That Make Some Animals Not So Cute Anymore
As a little kid I obsessed over animals. I poured over volumes and volumes of encyclopedias and zoological journals, I spent countless hours at the Museum of Natural History with my little notebook jotting down every sign, every factoid, every bit of animal-knowledge I could find.
None of that prepared me for what I just read.
This was way back when you could just let your kid free-range through a Manhattan museum for a few hours while you grabbed a slice and ran some errands—so you better believe I clocked some serious hours there learning about whales, elephants, etc...
And nowhere in any of that was it mentioned horses regularly chow down on adorable fluffy little peep-peep baby chickens. I had to find that out thanks to THIS god-awful thread.
Reddit user lgo21 asked:
"What are some dark facts about specific animals that make them not seem as cute anymore?"
So yeah. Brace yourself.
Trigger warning: EVERYTHING.
R*pe, murder, cannibalism, snacking... it's all here and it's all bad.
