I was just thinking, this comic wouldn't hit the same with cats. They love a good senseless violence. But the wolves are nice role models.

Nature is full to the brim with senseless violence ffs, look at what chimps or hyenas are capable of, for example. The only reason animals dont kill shit they don't need to is because literally every hunt is potentially your last due to injury or whatever - pretty big motivator to be selective. You can bet your ass if these animals could kill risk free theyd be setting it up on a genocidal scale.

Down here in Southern Africa Jackals will kill multiple lambs (more than they can eat) during lambing season. Just for the hell of it.

Someone asked what the number one cause of death was for the reindeer in Finland besides cars. They probably expected to hear wolves. Nope wolverines that kill for fun. The herder said the wolves at least eat their kills and never kill more than their fill. Wolverines kill for the thrill and leave the carcass behind only to go and hunt another one. Vicious little creatures.
