If you listen to the BLM’ers and dhimmiecrats cops should be high on that list. And what about jihadis and Chicongo?

Blah!!

Mammals are wimps

"The foreign policy of ants can be summed up as follows: restless aggression, territorial conquest, and genocidal annihilation of neighboring colonies, wherever possible. If ants had nuclear weapons, they would probably end the world in a week."
Harvard biologist Edward O. Wilson.

You should watch Night of the Demon (1980). Bigfoot kills everybody in the most disturbing ways. You really shouldn’t watch it, though. There is full-frontal male nudity for a second—until Bigfoot on camera transgenders the guy with his bare, bigfoot hands.

I’m surprised the Washington Compost published it.

“They were more interested in plumbing the evolutionary history of lethal violence,” Well, did they? No, as the history cannot be reviewed or posed as an experiment. Nonsense.

I wonder if they spend much time determining what percentage of them were justifiable?

Thanks for showing the graphic ranking.

It seems to me that most of those listed (other than the bats, of which I know nothing) kill: 1) in fights to be the alpha male in a group; 2) to maintain a “harem” of females; 3) eliminate offspring from another male who mated with a harem female, which is prevalent behavior in prides of big cats. .....Guessing the first two above apply to the apes.

This doesn’t pass the “smell test”. The author’s modern rate of .01% cannot possibly include the 100 million and more documented in “Death by Government”. Communism and Socialism are the biggest killers.

Forget to add that he’s certainly not included the tens of millions of babies murdered through abortion. There’s nothing different between abortion and some creature eating young babies of its own species.

Are there any other cats than lions that form prides?

Just asking because I am not aware of any myself.

I do believe that the elimination of the offspring of another male is common among other cats however (and humans).

I may have been wrong in using the word “prides” as, like you said, that’s usually applied to lions.

Cheetas, leopards, pumas, etc., like the lions are usually ruled by the females who raise the cubs and do the hunting to gather food. ...I’ve seen programs on Animal Channel that show the cheeta females hunting as a group and all staying together and raising the cubs.

I really don’t know if the cats other than lions have a dominant male that takes the meat they kill and fights off other males. ....Big Leo just lies around, sleeps, eats and breeds most of the time, I guess.

Other male cats, including our PET cats, don’t seem to be into keeping a “harem”. They seem to prefer to just roam and impregnate every female they run across.
