... Reddit didnt have enough heraldry and vexillology jokes. Now it has 1 and it feels overburdened with them. Well done.

Which shows why these officials are fools!!!

It's not the national animal for sweet reasons.

They wanted an animal that was known to be so dangerous it would f*** up a lion - the national animal of England.

In ye-olde times they didn't think the Unicorn horn was for fun. Basically it was to murder everyone and thing it came across.

Once again modern storytelling misses the point and ignores the brutality of Ancien tales

"The lion and the unicorn
Fought about the crown.
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town."

Children's songs are brutal.
