Its a bidirectional issue b/w cats and mice so creating a fearless mouse wont do any good unless and until they create cats which don't eat mice(or may be herbivore cats)isaleemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921446302232158284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749409183993018023.post-84896887916982172092007-12-26T09:31:00.000+05:002007-12-26T09:31:00.000+05:00*correction on my commentboth by instincts coded i...*correction on my comment<BR/>both by instincts coded into the genes AND learned through the environment<BR/>-------------------------------------<BR/>a very valid point made by khany (Y).<BR/>There is a blessing behind every natural thing Allah has created for us.
