Thanks Mushroom Boy! Maybe I didn't have to post that other thread after all ...
I know that some animals won't breed unless they are "happy", but isn't it also true that some also breed when the they are somewhat "threatened" so that there will be others to carry on since they don't "expect" to survive themselves?
BTW -- I hope I don't discourage any further discussion on the other subject -- just like M.B., I'm finding it very interesting!
