Animals having grown accustomed to lives of easy food, water and (sometimes) shelter are having a difficult time adjusting to the life that they were born to lead.http://www.wildlifeextra.com/80/news/animal-release.739.html
The articles notes;
"The animals were also more susceptible to starvation and disease than their wild animal counterparts and less able to form successful social groups."
And;
"Their lack of hunting skills and their lack of fear towards humans, for example, are major disadvantages."
Most people have seen the movie Trading Places.
In the movie, Dan Akroid's character ultimately surrenders to his new condition and learns to adapt from there.
He has to learn lessons that his social groups failed to teach.
Mortimer and Randolf have became so fat and comfortable that they forgot how to hunt.
In the movie Coming To America, we see them in a pitiful state - begging for crumbs.
Their "knowledge" of the workings of the world seems to have failed them in a new social structure.
Since the financial bubble burst - why are many having problems coping with a life without pampering?
Why the suicides and killings?
Maybe, they too - forgot how to hunt.
I was talking about the bankers on the hill yesterday with one of my partners. He said the problem is that they don't understand any other way of life. All the money they have spent since the bailout they understand that people are upset but they don't know why people are upset. I agree they have grown to fat inside their own bubble to know any other way of life. But you can also say this about several politicians who look at numbers but have no understanding of what people are actually going thru.

I dare say that some of them never learned how to hunt in the first place.
