Aren’t kittens and puppies technically predators? What would be the difference between a baby lion and a baby kitten?

Go fuck yourself you pedophile scum.

It's how people perceive them. People are far less likely to quake when they see a cat than a lion

Okay, but then there’s teddy bears.

Everyone perceives them as cute and cuddly. But I wouldn’t want to cuddle with a bear in real life. Bears are much more dangerous than sharks just on account you’re more likely to encounter one.

I guess what I’m wondering is: why are things clearly predatory not perceived that way?

Why wouldn't you want to cuddle a real bear? Have you not seen them? They look incredibly soft! Just ignore the high possibility of losing your life ofc

Because people are dumbasses.

I would instinctively try to pet a big cat and lose my hand or life for it so I agree.
