Yes, we are animals. We are animals, and animals can get extremely violent if they discover their mates being stolen away.
There was one board I once read. It said, “How to be cautious of dogs?” It particularly warned against disturbing dogs on two or three occasions. One, when they are having their food; second, when they are fighting amongst themselves, when they are angry; and third, when they are mating. Don’t disturb them at that point. Even the most emaciated kind of dog will leap at your throat like a lion if it is in the process of lovemaking.
That's how our relationships are as well, you know. We are animals.
