Are we the only species that do? I know we're the only species that have managed to begin killing ourselves, because of our level of higher awareness. I believe this is because we are here for different reasons.....

Actually, in many wolf packs, lower status wolves are ocasionly killed by those higher up. I know what you mean though. The human race is confusing and some days I wish I were not part of it....
And, animals have feelings too! (I greatly disagree with the responce above mine!)

Are you saying animals are better than us? Animals don't have minds, can't reason, can't control themselves, can't make things better, can't pursue happiness, can't earn, or grow, or achieve. They are nothing like us.
Even if they can feel pain and suffering, it is meaningless compared to our right to use them to survive. Animals are beneath us in all ways, and it is only that we like looking at them, and using them for food, clothing, etc., that they are permitted to live in our world at all.
To attempt to see some peace in a world of animals is to not understand animals at all. They will fight, kill, and die, to no end but evolution, forever, until consciousness will rise again to take over and bring the civilized peace that comes through fair and honest trade between equals.
A domesticated animal is only peaceful and perhaps loving because we force it into that role using our human minds. Without us they'd be fighting tooth and nail to survive just like every other animal, with brief periods of reproductive activities.

There is definite evidence of other primates killing out of rage and even revenge....I would also argue that there have been cases of domestic dogs killing out of rage or hate

I'm afraid studies of chimps & gorillas are indicating differently. But in Kansas that can't happen.

Because we are the only creatures capable of feeling those feelings.
