Also, note that this is a joke. but it is likely that the way the world is presented to children uses animals as innocent creatures that would be kind if left alone. This is just not true, a hungry bear will eat a human. Sorry yogi, it's true. Also, when people are portrayed, in typically adult films, there's usually a lot more bad guys killed than good guys. And they're bad. So you don't feel sad when they die since they were evil.


But a bear will kill you to eat you or to protect its family. We kill animals for sport. We kill each other for even less.
So yeah, in that sense, animals are "innocent."
