Eh, burn out is normal even with people we love.
Think of it this way: Love/caring/affection can't get fatigued like that if it's not there.

It's possible. Botswana has about 130,000 of the blighters, and has already shipped 8000 to a neighbouring country as a means of keeping numbers down.
As an aside, the Wildlife Minister also threatened to send 10,000 to Hyde Park.
It really does appear to be elephants all the way down.

Take the 'settling' option as a means to put bread on the table, but keep feelers out for a better job?

Eh, I'm not right wing but I'd get peeved seeing 'Easter eggs' get replaced by 'Gesture eggs' too ahaha.

Yea, then show don't tell. A few wee stories to round it out and keep folks hooked.
I would say that as an unreliable narrator, folks will distrust overt messages or facts. So yea, lie all you like, it won't matter too much. But keep the theme truthful.
Zum Beispiel - If the theme is 'love unites us' then the narrator could say '10,000 couples kill each other every year.' All good, and instantly distrusted.
But in the context of the theme, he'd be speaking to, for instance, a family of woodland critters. These, though from different species and levels of the food chain, united to preserve the life of a lost puppy - who had touched all their hearts.
So yea, overt versus implied. Mine that implied meaning, friend, and draw forth gold.

Depends entirely on what impact you're going for.
Think of your audience. What do you reckon they'd want to see more of? Facts? Cute stories?

You have disrespected the trees in this area, but this is what we have come to expect from your stunted kind. Further abuse cannot be tolerated. Let this be a warning to you.
