This is mammal propaganda!
of course it's attacked by avian propagandist without proof to the contrary
Penguins don't force their children to fly.
Checkmate, atheists!
Penguins are birds that are trying to evolve into mammals. Commendable.
My atheist ways have proven to be wrong. I am now a firm believer in penguin Jesus
When resources are scarce, birds will literally push the weakest chick out of the nest to increase the survival chance of the rest. They'll keep going too, and kill them all if they have to
Loads of mammals will do that.
Bears, for example.
Hell. Some seals just leave their kids on the ice.
Possums are so smooth brained their kids fall off and mum just keeps the bus rolling. Tasmanian devils, too.
And hippos just forget their kiddos are even there and trample them.
And that’s not even mentioning the crazy shit humans get up to
Cats famously do this to runts
I have kittens on the way. I am... pretty stressed out
It makes me sick.
