Is what why? Where did I say there was no violence in the animal kingdom?

I find that a lot of people who use this arguement don't really take to time to learn much about the animal kingdom. "There's no war in nature." Bullshit. Ants hives fight with rival ant hives all the time.
I find that people who read something into my posts that isn't there often sound like fools.

Where did I say there's no war in nature?

The animal kingdom is just as "unreasonable" as our own.
No, it isn't. Where in nature do animals kill and maim other animals simply because of the color of their skin? Where in nature do animals kill simply because they can, rather than out of necessity?

In nature, violence has a reason, a purpose. It's a means of surviving. In our world, it's a means of persecution, a tool of hate and desire and envy.
