yes, there are incidences of cancer in the wild but not anything like in humans who carry around all sorts of little petty resentments. You have no idea how dangerous it is to our health to overact to stress just as you are overeacting to my perception. No one told me these things although I have heard this from other sources. It is well known that stress can cause disease. Just look at the word for heaven sakes! Dis ease not at ease or at peace!

No, EXACTLY like in humans, and primarily caused by the same thing - SOMATIC MUTATIONS.

No one taught you these things? Good to know that it is not a widespread delusion at least.

Stress CAN and DOES increase incidents of disease - but the disease itself is usually a microbial pathogen - or a somatic mutation causing unregulated cellular division (i.e. cancer).

Despite you delusions about what God does or does not do or want - wild animals DO get cancer - and it is not because their soul is not right with God - or because they live under a great deal of stress - but because over the span of their life they had somatic mutations in some cell lines that made those cells cancerous.

So how does pollution cause cancer in your model?

Does environmental pollutants increase stress? Or do they increase somatic mutations?
