If you watch the animal shows on tv you can see for yourself that animals will attack and torture other animals for pleasure and fun. I watched killer whales play with baby seals until the seals were just pulped flesh, lots of the big cats will kill humans or other animals for the fun of it, animal parents will eat their young on a regular basis, etc. No they don't use guns, just claws, fangs, razor-sharp teeth, poison, brute strenght and whatever else they have. But before someone gets mad, here's the thing: I don't like hunting nor do I hunt either but I'm not going in the oceans, forests, etc. without protection of some sort. And that included the world of so-called civilization where you can be killed there too. But I don't see evil in a person that hunts either. There are many resons to hunt and even if I don't like it, I can't choose for them nor threaten them, nor belittle them for what they want? need? require? to do.
I know of a horse that had to be put down because it trampled and killed a child. This horse was not mistreated nor injured nor trained or raised badly. It was just flat out crazy mean. It had always been a difficult animal. Does this mean the horse was evil? Dunno.
My point being: There is good and bad in all creatures and there is not such a thing as being intrinsically innocent because you are a certain species. Unfortunately.
