No animal has started wars with other animals over oil, money, or foreign alliances. Humans are much worse, and we are an over-rated species.
What? You completely missed my point. When animals are hungry, they eat. When they're thirsty, they drink, etc. They don't take into account the suffering of other animals. If there's a weak link in their pack, they're the ones ending up getting killed. That ensures the survival of their species. The strong mate and pass on their genes, the weak die off. Not one person would argue that humanity is capable of some truly awful things, yet we are capable of some truly compassionate and awe-inspiring things as well.
By your logic, you'd rather save a dog than your average human given a choice?
