They have tried raising them before remember? Frieren gave the example of the child demon that still killed it’s adoptive parents and more even though it had been forgiven and such. That same story implied that humans have tried giving demons chances in the past, and that every single chance didn’t work out. Not to mention there hasn’t been a single demon that’s talked about a “vegan/vegetarian” demon. With how long lived they are, that would have gotten around by now, especially for someone as long lived as an elf. At some point she would have heard of it too.
And every demon executed so far has been hostile, either attacking or already mid-hunt.
Humans have empathy, yet how many will still eat pigs or beef?
Now add on a complete lack of empathy to the mix and you basically have the demon race.
I’m now imagining the animal equivalent of Frieren: a sleepy chicken walking the earth, absolutely erasing every human being it comes across.
That’s still humanizing the demons too much.
There’s at least human vegans / vegetarians.
There’s no equivalent to that for the demons. That’s the point 😅
And that’s despite chickens etc not being capable of human speech or looking human. The number would be much higher if they did.
Maybe we only don’t know of them because they execute them?
