In human circles, there is no 'war instinct', no thing that makes us launch an unprovoked attack.
Animals mostly have a reason to kill..either for food..or for protection. But no, not us humans! Plus, animals don't kill innocent animals in large quataties i.e. Hiroshima. I remember a t-shirt I had..a picutre of a whale carrying a sign saying "Save the Humans"..lolBest,
