“The animal kingdom is occasionally brutal, " he said. "But we don’t think it’s nice that so many of our visitors, large and small, got an involuntary insight into this today."
I'm thinking that it can't be really harmful, either, for people to see some of the brutality of the animal kingdom. Teaching people an unrealistic view of animals living in peaceful harmony in the forest leads to animal rights activism, vegetarianism, and other pathologies.
There is no excuse to be cruel to animals, but there is also no excuse for letting people believe fantasies about animals, either.
Yep...if they don't know that by now, all of the muzzies up there in Scandinavia will teach them well!
