Cannibalism

Cannibalism

Did you know most pets are cannibals? They are. I learned that while working at the pet shop. For some reason animals do not think eating others of their own species to be a crime.

When I hear someone say about how bad humans are I always remind of a cute pets at the shop. We, humans, are not so bad as we think, really :) At least we try to become better.

Yes, we use bombs, guns and all that. But we know it is bad anyway. And have a choice :) Animals won't even think of it ever: they will leave or kill their children when they get ill, and eat their own parents when they grow old and weak. They're simple and cruel creatures (from human point of view). So I think humans have a good future.

You've started a philosophical thread here! :-)
I've also read that humanity has become less savage over the years... things were worse in the Middle Age but maybe it's just the scale of of destructions it that is so scary today.
In any case I like your chicken!

You have a good thought over there, but in my opinion humans are more worse than animal. Like Roberto just said, we use guns, bombs, gas chambers....and we are able to eat our fellows if we are placed in a situation of live or die.
But that`s just my opinion! :P

I think what differentiates humans from animals is just that.
The power to think.

i watched many times fishes in my aquarium eating other ones that suddenly died. sometimes the one that was sick just disappeared overnight. it really isn't a pleasant sight but that's how it is.
