Has there ever, in the history of science journalism, been a piece about animal behaviour that did not resort to the word 'snack'? https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/08/cities-animal-intelligence-fishing-cats/567538/ …
I would estimate that roughly 50% of such articles modify that horrid word with the far worse 'yummy'. The author of the present piece, to his credit, managed to get by without *that*.
Animal-behaviour journalism is a genre sustained almost entirely by tired conventions and gratuitous diminutives.
Enough. Animals are of immeasurable philosophical, ecological, and political importance. Science-journalism readers are not children, and are not gawkers at some Victorian zoo-park.
