Why are most animals appealing to look at? We don't reproduce with them, so there's no biological incentive there.
>>
probably so humans do not murder them (and then humans still murder them)
>>
>>5132927
if there are no animals at all in an area it may indicate gigamurder rapemachine 8000 is nearby. so plentiful animals = good place to be
just my theory
>>
>>5132956
Wouldn't gigamurder rapemachine 8000 after the job is done
just instantly move anywhere else where there are still plenty?
>>
>>5132927
they cute
>>
>>5132927
Because non human animals are basically children (they look like them, they act like them and they think like them) and we are programmed to love children.
>>
>>5132927
Try and apply that to invertebrates or sea life broadly.
>>
>>5132927
Because they are a food source and because God filled this world with beautiful creatures for man to muse over.

Most animals are bugs and fish and arent particulary appealing to look at
>>
think we evolved specifically to find most things cute because if we didn't, we'd be going around bashing our own babies to death like other mammals very commonly do
>>
>>5133289
We kill our own babies all the time

And thats a good thing, chud

Maybe you don't know if they are friend or foe so you're more interested in looking at them than for example a tree since every animal is a potential risk you maybe need to fight or run away from. So it makes biologically sense to look at them

No can do, boss.

I honestly dont care

Hopefully we can legalize late term abortions so your parents can finally fix their mistake
>>
>>5132927
Because they're made in the Image of God so they reflect His Perfection

Humans have affected their evolution like cats and dogs just not to the same degree. But since humans emerged they wiped out many species including all the megafauna except for elephants. Various animals survived the human world wide expansion by evolving cuteness which allows it to bypass humans artificial selection pressure. We allow raccoons and squirrels and birds because we like them. Bugs didn't need to evolve cuteness because they bypass human selection pressure by being too small to catch or eradicate. Deep sea animals aren't cute because humans never expanded there.

>Because non human animals are basically children
Animals aren't children and this anthropomorphism is what people use to justify normalized animal mistreatment
>>
>>5133597
why are you mad?
>>
>>5132956
Plausible. Birds scattering is a signal for danger so ubiquitous it's cliche.

>>5132957
You're the plenty, anon. Look to the left of you, look to the right of you, 1 out of 3 animals are eaten by Jaws McMarrowlick, if there are no other animals around you're next.
