No, but I do see how literally every other species has some pretty harshly enforced, if you know what I mean, ways that 'weak' members of said species doesn't pass on their genes.

Makes me think of hyenas. I need to learn more about them. Been obsessed with animals all my life and just learned they're not canines, and their closest relatives are meerkats and weasels.
