However, I'd prefer they kill us and then eat us immediately, as opposed to gnawing on our decomposing bodies while we lie dead on the rug from a heart attack or something.

God created us with our ability to think and solve problems for the simple reason that we are the supreme organism on the planet. The chances of me being caught somewhere without anything, knife, gun, etc, is very slim, so I for one am not worried about it. Sure you can argue all day long that a lion, tiger or bear (Oh-my!) could kill us, good for you and good for them, but who cares, really? Whoopy-fucking-do! In the end all that matters is that we (humans) have a superior intellect and can solve the problem of not having the physical strength to defeat one of those very powerful animals.I know that this reply is harsh, but I tire very quickly of arguements like this one.
