Survival of the Diligent - a short story

Survival of the Diligent (Fiction 101 Series)

The Wolves hunted Them with the arrow. The Bears with the rifle. The Cows herded Them into fences and corrals. The Bears initially protested the Chickens for being too civilized until they witnessed the cramped, industrial housing provided for Them. Fascinated, the Bears adopted this technique and shared it with the Wolves.

Then the Robots built the Processing Centers once their empirical study of the Animals was complete. They approved of their efficient extinction methods of Them – albeit brutal. Ironically, the responsibility lay with Them when – many years prior – they had invented the Robots and traded Human civilization for the Artificial.
