I think you're ready to find any excuse you can to justify your habit. But at the end of the day you're just killing sentient beings for no other reason than pleasure and convenience. |
I'm afraid you're contradicting yourself by comparing lions to humans and for the 4th time, animals act based on instincts and simple habits, needs, we choose our own path. I don't base my behavior on lions, I brought the example to show you the animal cruelty.
But seriously if you adore animals so much, just go live in the wild. Give up all the benefits of technology, relocate to the forest, erase thousands of years of civilization and spend your whole day gathering fruits, till you get eaten by a predator, or just die from starvation, or disease and the best thing is when you get old and weak animals will gather around in their friendly way to give you last respect and eat you while you're still alive.

Some animals are creative. How about the story of dolphins: they were trained that by retrieving objects and bringing them to the humans they got a fish reward.

sorry that just cracked me up
And you don't see the irony in this? You're trying to prove how animals are smart, by showing how we taught them to do things we want for our entertainment..

No, animals haven't built nuclear weapons

Just to add this, yes there are a few countries that have enough nuclear weapons to destroy the planet, and there was at least
one time in history when we were pretty close to it, but nuclear weapons also mean that next time a huge meteor comes crushing into earth we can protect ourselves and prevent another mass extinction event, like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
