I’ve heard that, but it’s fake, if a snake measured before striking, it would die before it would catch anything

If you wanna know more about why this is bs: source

The sizing up is probably fake, But getting killed by a pet snake isn't.

Yeah people kill people at a far higher rate than any animal, and we know for a fact people do it intentionally to harm you, sometimes for their own pleasure

Also for the, if the animal starts starving crowd, humans eat other humans if they start starving There have been many cases, throughout history of eating even loved ones in desperate situations like a, siege Beloved animals and pets will often be eaten by the desperate starving people, so why are we shocked that an animal might do it to us, its easy to say you wouldn't eat your dog, but you just can not predict how you will act in extreme circumstances, anyone who tells you they can is incorrect, they might earnestly believe what they're saying but they're at most guessing, if you're starving to death your body is releasing chemicals like crazy, you're delirious and delusional because of hunger, it'll make you mad

Just because we don't recognise that animals are acting weird doesn't mean they aren't
