Answer: a) it draws attention to a problem in society
Explanation:
Satire is a type of literature that tries to highlight the vices, abuses and follies of individuals, corporations, the government, or society at large. It often does so by holding these up to ridicule and shaming them. Satire often uses literary devices such as exaggeration, irony and understatement in order to convey this. In this story, the author draws attention to a problem in society: the fact that humans think they are at the "top of the food chain" and, therefore, feel entitled to disregard other living things.
