The Establishment Fears This

I'm so annoyed at how little people care about how dangerous it is to let predator and prey animals interact. This image isn't cute it's stupid.
Edit: I'm not gonna continue arguing with people who think animal neglect/abuse is fine as long as it's cute. Good bye
- Probably a lot more to it than just predator and prey in domesticated animals lol
  
  Cats still hunt. Rats can fuck up anything it gets its teeth in. Why risk it.
- Not the point. I know I'm not going to sink my teeth into my pets. We have a responsibility to prevent our pets that we've chosen to care for from being harmed or killed.
- yeah I keep rats and dogs and would never let them intermingle, way too risky. Even an innocent snap that wouldn't be anything weird rat-to-rat or dog-to-dog could end up nasty in an interspecies context.
  but uhh, the image is cute anyway, even if fucked up
  
  Dogs are more dangerous than a kitten. I also keep my rats away from dogs.

  So that means putting your animals at risk is okay? I know some cats aren't prey driven, but that doesn't matter because it's still irresponsible. What if someone saw this cute video and thought they'd let their cat and rodent play only for the worst to happen?
i wish i was that rat
- hope this helps
