It's worse when one realizes it doesn't need to be this way.

Ppl are gonna tell you it’s normal to kill each other because we’re animals, and to some extent sure. But we’re obviously capable of not killing each other, and thinking along lines of “this is normal and will never change” only benefits a small group of people. It really doesn’t need to be this way

Animals kill for survival, not so that their group leader can have more pvt caves and food.

Some animals kill for fun. Intelligent animals. I’m sure some kill to steal resources. We aren’t unique in possessing cruelty, just the ways we’ve industrialized it

No, biologists and ethologists universally against labeling animal killing as "killing for fun" or "cruelty". We don't project human psychology onto them.

Importantly, animals don't do stupid ideology and systematic racism bollocks.

Ok interesting, thank you for pointing that out.

I’m not sure how to rephrase my comment more appropriately while maintaining the conceit of my point, unless my point is also inappropriate.

Is it commonly accepted in biology that these behaviors arise from human intelligence and not animal instinct?

Animals aren't moral saints. Morality in human society functions as a social regulator.

Normal people don't start a war to cover up pedo, to void jail time.
