As per @aeneasCaldarium 's request, I w9uld like t9 keep the #Ancest9rTalk t9pic g9ing 6y addressing Z99l9ger C99lscar and their attitude t9wards lusii. As a #surviv9r 9f the 6ef9ran culling system myself, it's difficult t9 see the Z99l9ger's supp9sed rescuing and c9nservati9n 9f 9rphaned lusii as anything 9ther than a manifestati9n 9f a latent desire t9 cull tr9lls 9f their 9wn. Perhaps we sh9uld think critically a69ut why a vi9let6l99d w9uld find themself s9 c9ncerned with the "well6eing" 9f 9thers. After all, just 6ecause a lusus has 6een tragically separated fr9m their ward, whether thr9ugh death 9r estrangement, d9es n9t mean it is suddenly incapa6le 9f fending f9r itself 9r ad9pting an9ther tr9ll if it s9 ch99ses. Lusii are functi9ning mem6ers 9f s9ciety just like any9ne else. I questi9n if C99lscar has ever *asked* the lusii if they'd like t9 6e rescued? #Culling #6ef9ranCulling #N9tACall9utP9st #JustADiscussi9nP9st
