What a shameful way to describe cats. Hunting, killing and devouring
prey is definitely not on 'the dark side'. This is what they do. The
only dark side to this is that most cats hunt at night.

Remember that next time you are enjoying a hamburger. A cow was killed,
cut up, the pieces widely distributed and devoured by humans all over.
it's just that we have systemized the process so much that we have a hrd
time remembering that burger was once a cow. And, no one I know thinks
of a 'dark side' when eating a hamburger!

Glad to be a carnivore at heart!
