I was in Uganda visiting places where chimpanzees lived. Our guide showed us a fruit that naturally fermented into alcohol. When it reaches the best fermentation stage, the chimpanzees eat it and become as intoxicated as any humans at a tavern. The guide told us when they get drunk, they act much like humans and even get into "barroom" fights.

Because we were stupid enough to create the poison and we're so damn proud of it that we feel the need to use it, regardless of the consequences. It's like saying "Hey! I made drugs and I'll use them just to show you how cool I am!"

This is like saying that humans are the only species who kill their own. This is not true.

Because we were given free will doesn't mean we use it properly. That's why animals were given the gift of heightened instincts
