Reject groomers.

Embrace otter.

Sea otters have been regularly observed to rape baby seals over weeks, and continue raping them after they've died.

River otters are cute though.

I would like to unsubscribe from rape facts. Thanks

Hopefully someone doesn't tell you about penguins

But they are so cute though, look at them walking around, falling over the little goofballs.

Like people wouldn't force them to mate with seals if it would produce something cute for the Internet.

Stolen from a comedy sketch I saw in Orlando.

I'm always down for replacing problematic celebrities, especially when you can replace them with precious critters.

Yes, yes...most species have individuals that do horrible things to other animals/species, but I'm more willing to ignore the outliers of species that do not have the capacity for complex ethical philosophy. In this case, pointing out aberrant abominable behavior is more pedantry than discourse, in my opinion.
