"I'm getting to that. It's also relevant that humans are mammals - like, um, rabbits, probably tigerpeople - so it's hard to feed a baby unless you are personally that exact baby's mother. Because you'd have to find someone else who was giving milk right then." Sigh. "So, humans don't live in tribes. We live next to people we don't know. Total strangers. I know you are also a total stranger, but the thing about living like that is we need a lot of rules to make sure we can all live together. Rules against child abuse are some of those - but there are rules about how to enforce the rules."
