Humans are by in large, very cruel.

Nature is very cruel. We are part of nature.

I don't think for the most part we're intentionally cruel to be cruel, the way a cat can be with a mouse. But we don't always try to be as uncruel as we can with animals, any more than we worry about being uncruel to bicycles or tomato plants.

BTW, vegetables feel pain, too. And the way we grow and harvest them is often cruel. So being a vegetarian is no solution.
