down by the delta

when wolf boy accused his pack of lies ~ the alpha male tore at his eyes 

beta shook her head and wouldn’t take sides ~ omega stayed in disguise 

the moral goes further and simply implies ~ know how cries compromise 

said badger to his honey ~ she ripped his balls off for grooming her boys


#The alpha male is top dog
The beta is mostly neutral 
The omega being submissive#

#Honey Badgers are notorious 
for attacking and tearing off an 
opponent’s testes! Ouch!#

You’re probably save on Malta Victor, just beware of the humans!

When you look at the bigger picture mankind is no better than the animal kingdom. That slur behaving like a wild animal we see often in the news, I think mankind is far worse than that. The superior species, I don't think so. Tom

Animals fight for food or to protect their young. Humans don't seem to need a reason to behave like savages.

It’s a real shame Tom, I mean the world should certainly be our oyster, but the pearl really is all that matters in reality, I don’t know what sort of species we are sometimes! Cheers David

Worse part is, they’re nothing new, and have always been around right back through recorded history!

I can say without compromise S.O. Humanity was always foremost on my mind when writing this one, some of the nastiest stories that pop up on the nightly news are so depraved, one could be forgiven for believing wild animals carried them out, definitely us humans are the ultimate joke at times, cheers David

Geeze, a female honey badger is almost as dangerous as a female black widow or praying mantis. They treat the males of their species as sex objects, toys and then kills them. What bitches, unlike female canines.

It’s certainly the law of the jungle with the honey badger Lin, without compromise! Instinctively they go for the nuts! I would certainly recommend a (cod piece) if tackling one (for me anyway) lol! Cheers David
