I think we tend to greatly underestimate how much the average wild animal’s life completely sucks. Predators. Disease. Food shortages. Injuries that never fully heal. Teeth…you know what happens to teeth if you never brush them? A lot of animals are just scraping by. You know how most animals have pretty big litters, and quite often too? Yet their population stays roughly the same? Consider the implications of that fact on the survival rate for an average animal.
