The chipper theme tune of the show plays as the camera returns to Kurlek, the Venlil host of the show, continuing from the previous discussion as he looks into the camera once more.

Kurlek: Hello and good stars to all of you once again. If you're just joining us, we're talking about the events that have unfolded at the X facility, where the pups from the cattle rescues are being supposedly rehabilitated into the greater herds of our society once again. However, this has been brought into question after the predator director of the entire program was stabbed by one of the Venlil pups.

Kurlek: Now I've said my piece, my thoughts on how this calls into question the quality of care being provided not only to the poor rescues but to any prospective adoptive herds. I believe this shows a lack of guarantee given to the safety of the kind, caring, empathetic Venlil people looking to heal a broken heart.

The graphic changes, this time showing the words "Kurlek's Corner", and a toll number to be called.

Kurlek: But enough about me and my opinions. This is where we ask you, dear viewers, what do you think? Call the number below and we might just put you on air. Remember to keep in line with all broadcasting laws and stay on today's topic. Whether you agree with me or not, are you able to step into 'Kurlek's Corner'?

Kurlek raises his arms and tail wide as he speaks the last sentence, seemingly inviting confrontation.

Kurlek: And we have our first caller, what's your contribution?

Caller 1's voice appears offscreen, was appears to be a Male Krakotl.

Caller #1: Hey. Been watching since this predator mess started, huge fan. Just wanted to suggest something you might have missed. What if this is just their entire plan backfiring? They're trying to teach the rescues to be like their own predatory selves.

Kurlek seems to enter 'thoughtful' body language at that suggestion.

Kurlek: It's an interesting theory, one I've seen a few people suggest. A predator stabbed by their own predatory creation. An attempt to divide us from the inside.

Caller #1: Yeah, like how the predator-diseased linked chains cult always ends up getting killed by predators!

Kurlek: Exactly. There is a sort of poetic justice around the idea, a predator injured by their own predatory creation, and it is rather strange that a poor cattle who had been captured by the Arxur would have the capability to attack a predator. Still, I would suggest waiting for more data, it could just very simply be incompetence on the human's side. I thank you for your contribution and move on to our next call. Caller two you are now live on Kurlek's corner!

There is a momentary delay as the connection is made before a feminine Venlil voice sounds out.

Caller #2: Sorry but the entire thing is a load of speh! Are you so stupid as to suggest that the humans have some kind of secret plan behind helping the rescues? Maybe you should try being less of a bigot and think!

Kurlek: Now now, let's keep calm and rational here, no need for name-calling. Maybe the predators have a plan or maybe they don't. Regardless of their intentions they are still predators, is having a predator raise a pup the correct environment?
