Animals ( or four-legged sentient beings, as I prefer to call them) do not commit crimes, wage war, or find pleasure in killing.

I saw a recent video that broke my heart. Two kittens in Gaza were huddled against a wall, clutching each other as bombs rattled the background. These kittens deserve to live far more than any IsraHelli “soldier”!

Unfortunately, chimpanzees, who are 99.9% like us, do wage war, literally tearing the babies of the “enemy” limb from limb. We have a long way to go to outgrow our wickedness but it isn’t savagery, it’s humanoid.

Bonobos are also genetically similar primates (to us and chimps) who live peacefully and cooperate with others. Humans are capable of choosing peaceful, cooperative behavior.

Yes, exactly and thank you for reminding me. I love Bonobos. I read that their go to for soothing another is sex, that they have sex all the time!!! So 2 things—1) The church and it’s hatred of sex is responsible for all the West’s wars and B) the Hippies were right—make love, not war. Hope that comes back!!! 😁😆😇

Still doesn't compare to the depravity of many humans. Not by a long shot.
