there are benefits for the animal
people directly feeding dogs and cats is a relatively modern phenomenon
they would either eat scraps or whatever they could hunt and kill.
go walk a sight hound around on a leash and watch what he does when a squirrel darts by. he's going to want to chase whatever runs away from him.
that's programming, baby. that thing was born to hunt stuff with it's eyes.
chasing and killing stuff when he's fed regularly might seem like excessive violence, but it's entirely natural
just like a cat blasting on a mouse.

Maybe there's another way to look at it..
What if Human Beings were created to replace nature. Nature has one purpose- it controls life. If one organism gets too dominant, nature checks it by introducing a natural disaster, a famine, or a new predator etc. Human beings are the only ones nature can't control- it's the other way around.
But nature is cold. It has no feeling, it gives and takes away life with no conscience.
What if Human beings evolved to be the earth's conscience? To take control of our environment and treat everything with human traits like Empathy, Unconditional Love, Justice, Sacrifice etc.
Nothing's perfect but I guess we're still evolving. We've only been around a couple hundred thousand years, while other specialized species like ants and bees have been evolving for millions of years- and they perform what they were created for perfectly.Last edited by DARKSEID; 01-23-2012, 08:51 AM.

I see what your saying, EM. But nature has a funny way of putting us in our place. Short example, Japan.
You start looking at some of the titanic things that are happening in the cosmic realm, you really start understanding how small we are.

Nothing's for sure- sometimes evolution fails (like with the dodos) but everything has a fighting chance.
That's another trait all life shares because we were all born out of impossible odds yet we're still here.
It could have been a trillion other sperm that reached the egg first, but it turned out to be me. It could have been a thousand other nights that my dad was with my mom, but it turned out to be the right night. I only had one chance to live, and it happened.

I don't think that was evolution failing as much as us ... killing them all

No, ur bluster is revoltingly idiotic, self indulgent and clearly biased. Here's another difference, what other species destroys its competitors to the brink of extinction?
Who said anything about changing the environment? Otters? Lol. Big deal, damn hermit crabs do that.
To be more specific, humans are the only species that cultivate the earth to grow other communities of their same species.
Sure lions or otters strive for their prides or families, but they dont look out for lions or otters as a whole.
Your argument seems to be that you've heard some nasty things about humans, you find the argument compelling and you've decided that it must be so.
religion in humans and familial groupings among chimpanzees couldn't be less alike, dude. that's a huge stretch.
you might be able to impress some of these guys with redundant language but to me that's nothing but a load of bull****
and money in excess has very little to do with neccessities (food, shelter, water,)
so on the one hand, you'd have a point if we're talking about somebody being violent for a meal
but it falls apart when he's violent for anything beyond basic means
that's not natural.
human beings kill for conventional means
it is not natural.
This idea that humans are especially bad is simply wrong. Humans are especially good at altering their environment, and that's the only reason we have more of an impact. It means that we are not kept in check by the usual evolutionary balances. If we run out of resources we make more of them or we move somewhere else and adapt to that environment instead. Humans are especially adaptable - in fact I would say that adaptability is our species' defining feature, like speed is for cheetahs or agility is for brachiating monkeys.
