man what a kill joy :o)
As I remember hearing it it was not because they "eat their young" but
because they are a breed that will turn on the weekest one of their group
faster then another animal :o) It was true in the past of the corps. Perhaps
not now but I do remember it fondly sometimes and also remember it making me
want to do better so that i was not eaten. Rose colored glasses? Not on my
eyes. I see it all good and bad. And for those who knew/knew me then the
latter was more offten.
