It isn't a good reason, but it is all they have.
Problem is you always have the morons, who when you state that reality, they say, "Oh so anything goes" or "might makes right:".
No morons. Life also evolved with empathy and compassion. I'd bet if you raised a kitten and squirrel together from birth, they'd be more likely to see each other as kin rather than food sources or rivals.
That same family who owns the cats, saved a squirrel and now have it in a large cage in their house as a pet. Unlike the other squirrels who will run away from you in the wild, it sees humans as it's friends and family because it was raised at birth.
I think the worst my cat would do, being indoor and spoiled, would not attack that squirrel if it were my pet, out of fun like a toy, but because I raised him alone, would be jealous, and I did once try to bring another stray in and he flipped out.
