Isn't it true that mother's of many different species of animals will kill / eat their offspring if resources aren't enough to support all of her offspring?
I know that our dog did this to two or three pups when she had them, although I am unsure if they were born healthy or still birth.
Anyways, to chime in on the article- I feel like the woman was most afraid of change than anything else. Putting the kids up for adoption would have been the best option and ethically correct one IMO.
