Sea lions are killed here for eating salmon. We all know that it's not the sea lions' fault that the salmon runs are either threatened or endangered. It's the humans' fault through overharvesting, the use of fish hatcheries, hydropower dams (like Bonneville) and the decimation of habitat. Sorry, another Washington State story.

Forget lions, tigers, and bears – if Internet listicles are to be believed, all of Oz is full of crocodiles, sharks, jellyfish, snakes, spiders – even magpies – that are dead set on killing, maiming, or injuring any humans they encounter. One of these killers even has the word “death” in its name, for crying out loud.

The sizes of canines ranges all the way from smaller than cats to basically as big as a lion, a big part of that range being human-made. However, given felines are generally more efective at hunting than canines are, wouldn't it have made sense for humans to selectively breed german shepard sized cats?

It seems like creating packs is the best survival method for animals and humans. which are also animals) On Netflix's "Predators" they show a Puma family that doesn't form a pack but it seems like life in a group would be a lot easier.

Although I love dogs they're too dependent on humans, it's true that stray/feral dogs can form packs and survive in the wild a regular dog like a golden retriever would get eaten by a lion instantly. They are much more independent and still behave similarly to wild cats they are still pets and rely on humans to survive.
