Have to say, haven't even read the chapter yet but the name alone is amazing

Hahaha thanks. I've been trying to be slightly clever with the chapter names, and this was the closest I could get to the feeling of the chapter.

I can honestly say that this is the first time I have ever actually really hated how they act
The first time is understandable, the second time was kinda rude but still understandable.
but now.....
Ponyvile ( minus Fluttershy, Big Mac, Applejack and Pinkie Pie) You Bitches
Oh gawd, that steak part was genius

What about Pinkie?

Dang, could have sworn I already put her in. Must have skipped her while debating on whether to add Big Mac or not.
Oh well ... COMMENCE EDITING PREVIOUS COMMENT
editing completed
Rarity seems a bit OOC in an aggressive way.
“Fluttershy, when you finally realize what that human can do if given the time and space, I hope you have the good sense to remember that I have tried to protect you."
"what that human can do if given the time and space"
She seems to believe that she knows what humans can do. Did that villain send her some visions regarding human atrocities? It would justify her unusually strong reactionary pose against Nathan.
Great chapter, and also the whole general set up, I love how you handle the ponies reaction to the whole "there's a potential pony-eater walking among us" thing. Most other fictions just seem to gloss over the fact that accepting Zecora (whom Ponyville was canonically racist against for a long, long time for no reason other than the fact that she wore a cloak) is not even remotely in the same ballpark as accepting an alien that can eat meat and is about as big as Princess Celestia

Thanks for all the comments guys, I apreciate the feedback both positive and critical. I want to respond to your comment specifically Tencent, as this is the kind of intelligent thinking I like to see.
On the face of thIngs, compared to how Rarity is on the (written with 6 year old girls as the core demographic) show, absolutely this would seem extreme/ooc. However, I'm writing from a "what would these characters be like in a real world situation, written from the pov of teen/adult as re core demo." As realistic, not restricted to 22 minute time block characters, with rounded motives and desires, they are all going to be different chracters.
Someone needed to be the "hater" in the group, and Rarity is absolutely perfect for it- Flutterhy is too kind, and at this point curious, Pinkie can't take him seriously, Twilight, as a researcher, is professionally intrigued by him (free spoiler/foreshadowing for you) etc. Rarity wakes up, sees this awful brute threaten a room full of ponies for fun, a known meat-eater, and her best friend wants to spend as much time with him as possible? F*** no that's not happening. Her element is generosity, not kindness, laughter, or honesty. She cares more about her friends then herself, right now her friend, in her eyes, is making a huge mistake, and she's always shown to be extreemly vocal.
If anyone was going to be the bitch, it was Rarity.
(Bit of insight into what goes into my writing of scenes.)

I can't exactly say that Rarity isn't prone to jumping to conclusions. But it usually takes some measure of significant evidence to sway her to those conclusions, and even then she wouldn't hold out for very long (hell, it took her two scenes to regret her sort-of neglectful attitude against Sweetie Belle and forget all about their fight, and two seconds to jump to Steven Magnets aid for Nightmare Moon's crime against fabulosity despite his drenching her hair and impeding the groups' movement). Judging by canon standards; I'd say it'd be far likelier for either Applejack who, given her ridiculous amount of self-assurance in her own judgments (it Twilight days to convince Applejack she wasn't in the right during Applebuck season, and she was also by far the most obstinate and vocal in the pro-pony faction during the Buffalo-Apple Family conflict in Appleloosa), or Rainbow Dash who jumps to random (always negative and usually violent) conclusions almost consistently when dealing with any stranger whose dealings is unknown to her.
So given this frameset, though I can appreciate why you need a social antagonist against Nathan I thought it would be reliably justified in a way that would implicate the necessary hatred from her exclusive of every other pony (Just finding out that him wearing leather clothing and, thus, a personal affront and grand insult to her life's work and pony morality in general would do it). I always viewed Rarity was one of the more levelheaded people excluding her forays into the world of fashion, so it still seems a bit hard to swallow that she'd so easily shift into a position of impregnable xenophobia when it's usually anypony else in the mane 6 that would take this position (Fluttershys fear of things in general, Twilights obsessive devotion her own special brand of rationality, Applejacks self-assurance, Rainbow Dashs stringent suspicion of anypony she doesn't know, and Pinkie Pies chronic insecurity).
Not to say that it ruins the story, but even given the premises of realistic consequences given a society on the lower-side of the food chain, and a significant shift in demographics. It still seems to me that Rarity would require empirical evidence to suggest that he's actually a legitimate threat in order to muster against Nathan in the way that she did. Without it, I feel that I'm almost required to make up not-yet-explained instory justifications for why she's being such a b****. Not to say that, given a genre shift, she wouldn't act in this fashion. But it would take a far harder shift than that that which was apparent in the actions of the rest of the cast. I.E, Given that all of the cast were shifted in the same attitudinal sense, I wouldn't have expected Nathan to wake up from Dash's assault last chapter. I don't think she would've stopped nor would she have any reason to, given Fluttershys almost suicidal compassion for all other creatures (not to say that it's reflects badly on her character, just extremely inconvenient in a realistic predator-prey environment) and Dashs implicit knowledge of that and violently overprotective stance over her friends even canonically .
I might be over analyzing, so you're more than free to dismiss whichever parts're unnecessary or even flat out wrong. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the response.
Speaking of Pinkie," Rarity spoke, a flash of realization crossing her face. "Dear, you are not in any way, shape, or form to throw a party for this… this human.
Element of generosity right here folks.
...Ponies are dicks.
honestly.... I find the whole 'meat-eaters are evil' excuse improbable. Why? For one they didn't drive out Gilda like she was the plague, and she was a gryphon, chimera composed of an eagle (predator and carnivore) and a lion (also a predator and carnivore).
And what about the pets? Cats and dogs are technically predators to, just tamed.
