Default Kids should work.

Donna,

Animals cannot speak. Animals communicate through body language and
vocalizations. This is why mana cats swat their kittens on the nose.

Mama
cat is raising her babies to survive in their world.

I can speak, and so can you. I didn't need to raise my children with
hitting. I taught my children to survive and prosper as humans. Mama cat
is teaching her children to survive as cats.

See the difference, Donna?

I'm not pro-spanking. However, the claim was that NO animals use physical
punishment-and it only takes one counterexample to disprove such a claim.

I'd also argue that most child development theorists who advocate spanking
do so only with quite young children, who aren't exactly capable of higher
level reasoned discourse, and usually only in situations where an immediate
adversive response is necessary. Which is exactly the mama cat's response.

How would he a better person if I was beating him (the animal

principles of human society.

I don't know of animals that beat their young.
Only degenerate humans could be that base.

Mama cats swat kittens on the nose for misbehavior, along with a hiss.
