HUMANS ARE PREDATORS? ORELLI!? This rant isn’t even about pushing a meat-free lifestyle, it’s about people being bloody idiots for thinking humans are predators. 

Humans aren’t predators. We don’t have claws or fangs, we weren’t built to hunt without tools.

Can you take down an antelope without any weapons? yeah, didn’t think so.

Would you be able to fight with an actual predatory animal that has claws and fangs like a lion or a wolf? Don’t kid yourself, a strong enough domesticated dog could rip you apart, and you’d complain about a house cat scratching you hard enough.

You try to scratch your cat til it bleeds with your nails, see how much damage your nails do. Yeah you can leave scars with hard enough nail scratches, but I’d like to see you try and kill another animal with those nails. I’d like to see you try and win a fight with a dog by bitting it with your comparatively pathetic jaws & teeth. 

HUMANS ARE NOT PREDATORS. THEY ARE NOT CARNIVORES. you would get sick eating raw meat because you’re an omnivore, not a predatory carnivore. if you ate nothing but meat, you would probably die, if not from the bacteria that your weaker stomach acids couldn’t kill, then from malnutrition. 

We descended from bloody apes. Apes are not carnivores. They’re omnivores. We don’t have the jaws or teeth to kill animals. 
The earliest humans were mostly herbivores because it was not until they figured out how to make tools and fire that meat really became a food source, and even then it was in moderation because a whole fucking mammoth would feed the whole village for a while, but they mostly survived off plants and grains and the like.
Early people were called HUNTER GATHERERS for a reason. THEY GATHERED PLANTS AND GRAINS AS WELL AS HUNTING. 

To quote my anthropology teacher: “in the animal kingdom, humans are ugly, useless, weak creatures. we don’t have fur to keep us naturally warm, nor do we have horns or antlers to protect us as prey, and we don’t have claws or fangs to hunt as predators. if it wasn’t for our brains and our ability to create tools and do complex thinking, we would not survive in nature.”

Want to prove me wrong? Go out in the wilds of Africa totally naked, without any weapons or tools & without ever using your brain & abilities to make the tools you lack, and see how long you last and whether you succeed in being a predator.
