Even studies of many animal species have demonstrated how many share resources and food, take care of each other and the sick, show compassion, etc.

You are right that there is sometimes compassion and care in the animal world. But these are not the same as sacrificial sacrifice .. like dedicating your life to caring for the needy, or giving your life to protect the undeserving.

Sure, and now we should consider the consequences of Nietzsche and his Philosophical offspring!

Bertrand Russell:

There is darkness without, and when I die there will be darkness within. There is no splendor, no vastness anywhere; only triviality for a moment, and then nothing.”

(Bertrand Russell, Autobiography, vol. 2 (London: George Allen and Unwin, 1968) p. 159.)

Philosophical Nihilism is a B!tch!

Au contraire, mon ami. There are many animal spcies which will sacrifice themselves and fight to the death to protect other members of their tribe.
