              I don’t know why people are so defensive about the fact that cats enjoy killing things for pleasure. They love seeing things in pain. They love watching them die slowly.

          Have you seen their genitalia? They kind of have to. Besides that I’ve seen very cute and happy looking duck couples.

            Afaik it evolved like that for better raping. At least that’s what our biology teacher told us, after we had to watch a video about duck mating.

            There are also no real couples. Most of the time several males try to get it on with the same duck and it’s not rare that their object of desire drowns because they can’t wait their turn. Nature is fucked up.

              Ducks have diverse mating habits, like humans. They don’t have to rape, but they will when there’s overcrowding, males outcompete females, and/or they live in an urban environment where females lack the strength and space to escape.

              Otherwise, most species of ducks form seasonal pair bonds with new mates each year. Some come back to the same mate each year, which isn’t quite the same as monogamy since they don’t stick together when not fucking and rearing young. A few ducks will mate for life, and a lot of larger waterfowl, like geese and swans, are monogamous.
