Answer 1

It looks like u r going to be more confused with all the anwers. You need to trust what you understand and what you know stick to the BASICS.

Answer 2

You have worked out how to post a question, now for the difficult bit getting people to understand just what it is you are asking. Use the spell checker thats what its there for ( I use it all the time, and so do lots of people on Yahoo answers, if they have any sense)
Mostly animals kill to eat, but not all ;some members of the cat family kill for pleasure and despite peoples opinons not many Humans do that, they mostly kill in anger or for gain or power. It was a good question spoilt by poor presentation. Thank you.

Here's the thing. This is a PERFECT example of what you are talking about. The other commentators are harsh, but right. They are ripping you to shreds over your inability to put together a coherent paragraph. If this happens enough, you will either get uptight and leave, or you will learn to communicate effectively. Thus the nature of Yahoo Answers becomes changed to a more lucid community (MicroEvolution). It will not, however, become a Volkswagen Beetle (MacroEvolution).

The other commentators act in their own interest, because it behooves them to have an intelligent community in case they ever have a serious need for a lucid answer. They fail to take into account, though, that you could possibly be a particularly precocious kindergartener, and that driving you away could be more harmful to their cause than helpful. This is one of the things that sets humanity apart from the lower animals; the ability to conjecture. When the Orcas ate the young blue whale (I saw the same program), they were only thinking of the immediate need. I see abortion in the same light, but that is another post entirely. They did not take into account the consequences of eating a young blue whale, primarily that they lost a potential future source of two or more new whales, whereas the mother was closer to the end of her capability to breed and would have thus been a better choice, though more difficult to take down.

So to answer the question, it is indeed in nature to kill. However, one of the significant differences between humans and lower animals is the ability to act contrary to nature when it is in the best interest of one or more members of the species.

Answer 4

The simple fact of the matter is that pretty much 'all' species kill to survive. Even the herbivores kill (or severly injure) the plants that they eat.
And plants themselves are locked in a deadly struggle for territory and food. It's just that most people don't notice it because, in the plant world, things move at a very slow pace.

Answer 5

Humans and animals, at a basic level, kill for food and self preservation.

Since humans have higher reasoning, they also have other motivations for killing. Some believe they are intimidation or showing prowess of power, others are because they are mentally ill.

Answer 6

This type of mammal required intelligent...see animal like whale has only instinct..so their senses are likely fallible..

It is the same thing as human without intelligent we all will kill each other.. see primitive people as an example.

Answer 7

This is very sad. The hunters...did they kill for food? or did they kill for sport?

In prehistoric times, if you wanted to eat, you had to hunt. As mankind started to learn the techniques of farming, life became more settled and the need to hunt everything slowly died.

To kill anything other than for food is horribly wrong, in my humble opinion.

Answer 8

I say it is a fact of nature. It is normal for animals to do that. Mankind has a choice and the
ability to reason. So, no that is not a good reason for mankind to kill nor does it explain why we do.

Answer 9

First of all I think that some people need to realize that English is not everyone's first language. Please excuse the rude posts.

I think it is natural to kill to survive. Humans have evolved to a point where we can survive without resorting to cannibalism. All animals kill, humans included.
