Perhaps Peter Rabbit can survive if he can get the bears arguing about who gets the first bite. There’s not really enough of him for all of them to share.
“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.” [Watership Down]
This applies to politics, too. In the 1960s, Canadian Prime Minister Lester Pearson used to compare American/Canadian relationships to elephant and rabbit stew:
A tad OT; I read a small filler bit in yesterdays paper that the FCC dumped the TV Fairness Doctrine in 1987. I am not surprised that it was a GOP administration that dumped it. I am somewhat surprised that they did not remove the rule that implemented the policy from the Federal Register until 2011.
Sad to say that I now understand why TV networks stopped airing Public Service Documentaries and why local TV stations stopped airing notices about their license being renewed and that they welcomed public comment.
What I do not understand is why the FCC under Democratic Administrations never reversed that that GOP decision. Why didn’t they?

Seven bears and one rabbit? Maybe they need even more diversity.

There’s a very Hegelian idea that “Odd numbered thoughts are best”. Like this:
1: :) You have a new and creative idea
2: :( But on second thought, there are some problems.
3: :) But, we can fix those problems by ….
4: :( Alas that can’t work
5: :) But wait, what if…

Some people’s idea of “democracy” is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch, but this situation seems a bit extreme…

Isn’t that the kind of diversity where an artificial attempt to improve the corporate image is the only only priority.

Unfortunately, this is still true in human board rooms too.

Fortunately for the rabbit, he’s much faster than the bears. Well, physically, anyway; this particular rabbit, perhaps not mentally faster.

Yet another reason why diversity will fail. Culturally it goes against human nature since the Tower of Babel.
