We were discussing predators and prey in my class yesterday, and one of my kids asked “is there a word for an animal that just kills things but doesn’t eat them?” I told him many animals will also kill to protect themselves, their young, or their territory. And he said “no, but I mean, like an animal that just likes to kill things?” And I said “oh. Yes, ‘Human’”.
one of these days i’m going to get fired.
