					<description>Hello, 

Just started to read your comments and found them interesting but lacking a basis in reality. We are the only animals that kill for reasons other than food, but that's simply because we are more intelligent. Sounds idiotic, however if animals had the knowledge we did they also would inherit both the benefits and curses of it. They don't do what they do because of morality, they do as they do because they don't know any better. Also animals DO kill for reasons other than food. In actuality for many of the same reasons we do. They kill for the right to mate, for intrusions of territory, for dominance in a group, and in certain situations to control breeding within a family (Merkats do this).  If they had the "knowledge", they would probably start killing for "fun" or one of the many forms of hatred man loves so much to demonstrate.</description>
