I feel like humans are just a confusing menace in the animal kingdom.

They might destroy your home forever, or attack you for no reason. They might give you food. The food might be drugged! They might speak nonsense to you in your language, once, and then never again. They might trap you. To farm your fur and trap you in a living hell? Or to heal you of something you were suffering from? Or to take you to some new place for unfathomable reasons of their own? No one knows. They're just fucking weird, man. Stay away from them.

They might corrupt you and your entire bloodline into being their eternal twisted servants!

They might do this and then abandon your bloodline to become pests and beggars in their towering cities, having forgotten your kind ever served them
