..the most dangerous animal in a zoo is Man.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the inherent danger that humans possess, even in the controlled and protected environment of a zoo. It suggests that humans have the potential to cause harm and destruction, more so than any other animal within the zoo. The essence of this quote lies in the belief that man's intelligence, greed, and destructive tendencies can be far more harmful than the strength or capabilities of any other creature. It serves as a reminder of humanity's inherent capacity to cause chaos and serves as a reflection on the nature of humans themselves.

The mean dog fights the good dog all the time. When asked which dog wins, he reflected for a moment and replied, The one I feed the most.
