    There is also the thing with lions. When a pride is taken over the new male(s) kill all the very young so leave the way free for them to provide offspring.


    Re Warfare, the widespread instance of cannibalism by Japanese soldiers in China and other occupied territories within a generation of normal treatment of prisoners during WWI shows just how quickly we can move back. It still amazes me that the seed bank in Leningrad survived the siege.
