I heard Trump offered 10,000 National Guard to manage the j/6crowds, but Nancy Pelosi, Mayor Bowser, and the Capital Police rejected his offer. Memos to this effect were destroyed by Liz Cheney during the January 6th "hearings." Pardon the intrusion into your echo chamber.

Result of stigma. The runt is sickly and maladaptive. Mom is not having it. Australian anthropologist Megan Oaten says we operate under the pressures of status and stigma. Civilized group behavior would modulate that harshness, something few species are able to sustain.

I hear it's not uncommon for the "new husband" lion to want to kill cubs from a previous marriage. They don't want to invest in a stranger's DNA. If cubs are in the den, could explain this.
