I’ve never seen Rwby, what’s she supposed to be saying here?
I mean, we hunted normal wolves to near extinction for being maneaters.
There’s a reason it’s big bad wolves that are villians in our children’s stories and not big bad bears or big bad lions.
I think the urge to kill animals bigger than yourself is proof of an inferiority complex.
“Thing bigger than me? Me kill thing! Now me not feel small and weak!”
Pretty sad, really.
Wait till they discover who eliminated the homo sapiens’ cousins.
Well, ya. It is a shame how basically all of the megafauna have been killed off. But, you can’t really blame ancient humans. If *you* had to worry about something upwards of 500lbs (227kg) coming up on you when all you had between you was a sharpened rock on a stick, you would be pretty leery of it too. Combine with seeing it eat someone you know and you get people hunting them with a vengeance. Even if it something wasn’t hunting humans, the threat of it would be a legitimate worry. Plus, a local predator may have also been tracked down to free up prey for hunters. For those that weren’t predators, to this day big game is still a desirable hunt for people.
Fast forward a few thousand years and all of them either died or learned to stay away from humans. Now, being a maneater is uncommon and is probably because something is stopping that individual from getting their “normal” food. There is also to consider that even if they are not wiped out, they may not even have the capacity to get really big anymore. Because of available food and how really big specimens are quickly targeted for various reasons.
