BS pixels are as real as anything, but they are of course not the same thing as what they represent.

< a family around for how long ? since at least the dinosaurs and maybe earlier ?.. >

All animals like crocodiles which breathe air, have two eyes, four limbs and a spine with a brain thing hiding inside a skull have a family history of exactly the same length of time and in fact shared a great great great... etc. great grandfather. Some other animals share that family but have dropped the limbs [such as whales and snakes]. There might be some which have dropped the eyes [bats not being strong on eyes] and they too share the same ancestry. Hopefully you are able to understand the point and not go barking up the wrong tree. Dogs are of course more recent "cousins" than crocodiles.

A crocodile as dinner or purse is quite virtuous because they are delicious, useful and are very low on VVV ratings. Humans are also delicious [according to Maoris] and their skins are useful as are other body components such as for organ transplants. It is not virtuous to waste the body parts of executed criminals and those should be sold at auction to the highest bidder.

When you enter the realm of Virtue, seeking eudaimonia, you will find it takes some conceptual adaptation from your normal dog eat dog, [in China human also eat dog] barking up the wrong tree, way of life.
