Animal behaviour

This morning, I heard yet another story about a change of personnel at a studio leading to popular projects being neglected, sabotaged or outright cancelled. I witnessed the same thing in publishing, where a new editor would retire a great column because it "didn't fit their vision". (And just possibly because they couldn't take credit for its success.) 

It occurs to me that this mirrors instances of infanticide in the animal kingdom where the perpetrator only wants their genetic offspring around. Not sure how to illustrate this dark reflection or even if I should. Scar from "The Lion King"? Let's skip the image.
