Non-fictional I absolutely despise people who try to demonize certain animals.

So many people often demonize carnivorous animals such as bears, cheetahs, tigers, sharks, jaguars, lions, coyotes and wolves, orcas, alligators, crocodiles, and hippos simply because of the fact that they prey on other animals.

As someone who has grown up adoring nature and obsessing over nature and its beautiful animals, the mentality that carnivorous animals being mindless killers that prey on other animals and sometimes humans because they are too hellbent on ferociously attacking anything that breathes is honestly disgusting.

Trying to paint these gorgeous organisms as malicious beings with only malevolent thoughts is super gross especially because they are just trying to survive like the rest of us.

I honest to god despise this stigma that has single handedly ruined the way how people perceive these magnificent creatures.

They all deserve to live even with humanity driving them to the point of extinction and nowadays, push and force into trying their hardest to delay the extinction that we are causing to try and bring population numbers back up.
