Calling an animal a ‘pest’ can sometimes cause more harm to people than the animal itself.

    Animals who invade your space and fuck up your shit are pests… That’s really all there is to it.

    I once heard from a gorilla that humans will call a pest anything that eats anything humans eats, or eats anything that eats what is eaten by what humans eat.
