Have you ever wondered?

Question

If animals are smarter when it comes to certain things? For example they follow Gods plan of mating female & male {not homosexual}, animals protect their young {not murderous parents}, animals don't try and mate with younger animals {not like some pedophiles} and animals don't kill just because {like murderers}. I am not bashing anyone just questioning if anyone else feels similar to the way I do. As the humane race goes we are supposed to be more intelligent and as for these certain subjects animals seem to be showing a higher intellect what are your thoughts?

Answer 1

You know you have asked some off the wall questions lately are you OK... I don't even know what to write as a response(not because I don't have the knowledge, I do but your question is just too idiotic) and am seriously considering blocking you as a contact because as of right now you sound like a loose canon.

Answer 2

Correction: Animals do not have the mentality to believe in God. First, they don't understand words - they understand tones, so there's no way we can talk to them and tell them about God. No single person is born knowing about God; we learn it as we grow older. Whether you want to believe it or not, many animals practice homosexual behavior and have homosexual partners. Baboons and dolphins are two fine examples of animals that have homosexual partners and separate only to mate and reproduce, but return to their homosexual partner when mating season is finished.

Dolphins have also been known to rape other dolphins when they want to have sex, because dolphins have sex for pleasure, just like humans. Male dolphins have been known to subdue smaller female dolphins, rape the female dolphin, and swim away.

Another contrary, when it comes down to saving all of your young or watching them starve, animals have been known to kill their weakest young to supply food for the rest of her offspring. It's a choice between saving most of them, or having them all die because food is scarce. This would count as, how you put it, "murderous".

Animals mate with whomever is available and sexually advertising. At as young as a year and a half, animals become sexually mature and begin going into heat, which is the animal term for wanting to reproduce and have sex - like the human "horny". Animals don't look for mates their own age or maturity, they look for whomever is available and has the best features, whether that means mating young or old.

Bull sharks and the most aggressive shark in the ocean, the white tipped shark, will kill animals in their territory simply because the animal is in their territory. The shark may not even look at this animal again, instead, they mindlessly kill it because they're "trespassing". Never catch a shark in a bad mood, because you never know when it might be you.

Human beings are animals just the same and we have the same basic instincts, however, we also have the ability to reason, think for ourselves, and for the most part, tell right from wrong. Animals do most of the things humans do, in a similar form.

Before you go on to make a point, research your claim.

Answer 3

You obviously have not learn much about animals, so i need to clear up a few points:

Animals do have homosexual encounters. Just watch a herd of cows.

Animals will kill their own young and often do. Hamsters will kill and eat their young if they are disturbed. Lions will kill all the young when they take over a pride.

Animals do mate with young. Several monkey species do.

Animals will kill (murder) chimps even fight wars tribe on tribe

Intelligence does not by necessity bring morality.

Answer 4

Gay animals http://www.zoofur.com/deer_3.jpg

the runt in a birds nest usually dies when there is not an abundance of food. The mother does not look out for it. Then there are many mammals that eat their young as pointed out already.

Gorillas will steal baby girls and condition them.

You really just lost me on the 'animals don't murder'. I really doubt anyone will get through to you.

Just because you feel that way, does not make it right. I will agree that the animals are showing more thought than someone though.

Answer 5

I've seen homosexual animals and know of many that will reject their young, which is more "cruel" to abandon live young to starve than killing.

Having said that, I do think they have elements which makes them vastly superior (in some areas) than humans. They will only take what they need. Any Enviornmental damage is usually from human interferance (over grazing, introduced species etc)

.

Answer 6

No, I haven't, especially considering that most of your observations are patently false.

Animals, dogs, for instance, often exhibit homosexual behavior. Guppies and other fish will eagerly devour their young. Male rabbits will kill babies in a litter. Animals (e.g., rabbits) will try to mate with any age similar animal, regardless of familial relationship. Dogs will kill cats, especially mewling newborn kittens, "just because". I have had personal knowledge of all of these scenarios.

You, seriously, need to expand your knowledge of the natural world.

Answer 7

I'd expect such a question from a person living in the city of Las Vegas. If you were living in the country, you'd know already that animals can be murderers, homosexuals, and pedophiles.

Answer 8

Hmmm...

Well, there are known instances of homosexuality in nature, and monogamy is the exception, not the rule, in nature. Very few animals mate for life - most mate with as many as they can, which sort of puts the whole "adultery" thing in question.

Many animals - especially the males of the species - will kill the young.

Some of the apes have been known to kill "just because". And killing to expand territory is common.

I think you need to do a little more research, there...

Answer 9

For centuries, humans rarely observed animals closely in the wild, and each of these points you bring up were pretty commonly accepted (albeit, with a bit of influence from certain dogmatic beliefs). But as we began more and more in depth studies of wildlife, we noticed more distinctive, and not too oddly, similar, behaviors...

Most (if not all) animals show traits counter to your examples:

- There are plenty of examples of homosexuality in wildlife (1st link). "Homosexual behavior to some degree has been observed in just about every animal species ever studied".

- Many species will abandon or kill their young if it means they will get a chance to survive to reproduce again (in nature, it's all about the genes). (2nd link)

- Most females of all species (humans included) have telltale signs when they are ready to procreate (estrous in most mammals, menstrual cycle in higher primates). Males of the species will often (though not always) show no interest in females not showing these signs (usually young/immature individuals). (see 3rd link)

- Most observed primates, cats, dogs, bears and foxes and many insects all have been seen to kill and not eat their prey, thus, essentially, murdering or "killing for sport". (4th link)

Answer 10

Actually, animals seem to do all the things you say they do not. It is our consciousness for humanity that prevents us from doing abhorrent things to each other... without it, your next meal is living next door. People who misplace their humanity create harm. Some people call that consciousness, a belief in God's word. From there, the fine details of the word get a bit fuzzy and more culturally, regionally and environmentally specific.
