Crazy to think this theory would probably receive more outrage in our society than the one presented by this study.
This strikes me as a bit of a strange example. Don't farmers routinely drown litters of kittens or puppies in burlap sacks in the river if they can't find a good home for them? Or is this just a stereotype (I don't know any actual farmers)?
