Hunky: . A domesticated cat can learn to accept living with a bird (or even a mouse) because they have learned to accept another odd relationship, that with humans.

Dorie:  Humans offer cats security, and therefore survival of their species. It all comes down to Nature's basic law - survival of the fittest.

Hunky: .Practically everything in Nature is prey to something else, except humans. Humans have no natural predators. To make up for that, they prey on each other. They created "hate" - a behavior that doesn't exist in Nature - it is peculiar to humans.

Dorie:  And they refined it to an art form. They form "hate groups," and prey on other humans that are not like them. But hate defies Nature's laws - it does not perpetuate survival of the species; it tends to have an opposite effect.

Hunky:   Today humans are reflecting on the particular actions of the hate predators that occurred on this calendar date six years ago, and vowing that they will survive and the predators will not. Some have referred to the predators as animals.

Dorie:  And, as we know, animals are better than that.
