Is it cold in here?:
Yet it is sadly rational for her to have difficulty trusting.
Tova:
The bottom panel perfectly captures Bubbles' feeling of isolation. Really well done.

Well, the existence of other, less powerful members of our own species has certainly never halted the expansion of the more powerful, and we've treated fellow humans who get in our way much as we would no doubt treat hypothetical microbes on Mars. I'm quite certain that in the not-so-distant past, for example, anyone expressing concern for Native Americans or Australians, or suggesting they were entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their homelands, would have been regarded with the same derision applied today to people considering the ethics of encountering extra-terrestrial life-forms. If, one day, we encounter a species more powerful than our own, let us hope we receive mercy rather than justice.

--- End quote ---
Well... Many people kill (or pay others to kill), and eat non-human animals. Cannibalism is, by contrast, quite rare. While it is certainly true that people are immensely creative in finding ways to be arseholes to one another, they treat members of other species even worse.
And yes, the last panel is perfect.
osaka:
This is incredibly tasteless from my side and I apologise in advance from what I'm about to say but.
Isn't it like THE one situation to drop the Navy Seals copypasta?
hedgie:
The main problem with Seals is that they're terrified of Canadians.
