Man is the only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims that he intends to eat until he eats them.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker singles out a disturbing human combination: friendliness toward a creature alongside the intention to eat it. The contrast makes sociability look less reassuring than it first appears. What sounds like a distinction between humans and other animals becomes a sardonic observation about concealed intentions.
