CGB: On killing: I, when I was alive, had a cat, A lovely cat. One day it trapped a wee mousie. It battered the shit out of the mousie. Lovingly. And battered and battered. And when the mousie was still, the cat purred loudly and kept turning the mouse over and over, enjoying the whole process. geo

Some apes kill for sport, and cats do too, so it is not entirely true that only humans kill for sport.

Christine,

They are hunting for the memory of feeding themselves. It's simple genetics. Anyway animals do hunt for sport. I thought you had a cat?
