The only animal its ok to kill are humans

I'm not sure I follow you.

Are you angry over humanity's cruelty and violence against itself?

That's what I'm getting from your post.

There are only two species that commit murder, humans and common chimps. Bonobo chimps are not included because, strangely, they are one of the most pascifist of animals. They make love, not war, to settle their differences.

I understand your revulsion for psychopathic humans. Psychopaths make up only 1-4% (estimates vary) but their effects on society are extremely disproportionate to their numbers.

The oddest thing I've encountered while studying psychopathy is that it seems some people might be "wired psychopaths" but never act on this innate characteristic. Their antisocial behavior apparently needs a trigger of some sort. There are, of course, some, and it may be most, psychopaths who are destined from birth to be troublemakers.

Im a straight pacifist towards animals unless its an animal that can and intends to kill me first (im very unlikely to ever meet such an animal) or if its for food consumption. Im fine with hunting as long as you eat the animal.

cows are ferocious in the wild and so are chickens. Anyone who has ever Zelda will tell you how bad a flock of chickens can frick you up.

Weird thread is weird...

Contradicted your thread title and whole premise in the first 2 sentences. Awesome job!

Are you volunteering to be the first?

Google: "animals that kill for fun." There are many instances of animals killing other animals, for no other reason than that they can.
The cat family has got to be the most sadistic killers in the animal world. The weasel family is close behind. All of the toothed-whale species kill for sport.

Certainly there are animals that kill other animals. The difference is that humans and common chimps kill within their own species for reasons other than survival or to advance their own lineage, which is instinctual. Murder, of course, is extremely common within the human spacies.

Are you saying chimps have the capacity to be evil?

Evil is a moralistic, even religious term that seems out of place in describing the natural world where there is only good or bad. Good if an action promotes an animal’s or plant’s welfare and bad if it does harm.

Of course, we as a species want to define nature with anthropomorphic terms and a lot of us use religion as a brush to paint a world we can readily identify with. From that perspective then, we have to include some traits of our closest animal relatives (98% of our genes are identical) when nonscientifically defining our comparison to common chimps.

So yes, in the layman’s vernacular common chimps have the capacity to be evil. They’re that close to us.

This is a beautifully incoherent post. I love it. Are drugs or alcohol involved?
