Voracious Animals

Voracious Animals

Animals in nature are categorized  by their feeding  habits... 
For the ferocious meat eaters, they are by nature carnivorous...
Their hapless preys, they are torn to pieces, gnawed and chewed....
There there are the plants feeders, the herbivores, munching and grazing in peace....

Caught between these two is the human species, meat and plants eating....
Mercilessly effective, humans devour meat and plants endlessly....
The human species, we are omnivorous in our feeding patterns....

But going viral, there is yet a 4th grouping in the human animal.. 
Umnovorous, a new breed of high powered and high flying human individuals...
Feeding brazenly on all kinds of money, perpetually thieving from the people...

Question remains, how do such gregarious animals  feed...
Do they chew, gnaw or do they swallow complete...
All those ill gotten Malaysian Ringgit, heavens forbid?

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart January 9, 2018 at 8:08 AM Sure did :) Keng Chuan Seng January 8, 2018 at 10:05 PM Hohoho..... TQ for the critical appreciation... You might have guessed the intention... A slur in relation to widespread perception... Of high level mismanagement and corruption ...
