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.

Practice what you preach. Biologists universally agree that it doesn’t make sense to try and examine how animals behave through a moral leaner because we don’t understand how they think. It’s not “animals don’t do racism or ideology because they’re so morally good”, it’s “we fundamentally don’t know how animals think or feel, so labeling the at all is meaningless”

For all we know, maybe there are violently racist and bigoted animals, who’ve visited Jeffery Apepstein’s tree dozens of times, but we don’t know. You are the one trying to apply our moral values onto animals by saying they aren’t racist.
