well which is it...first you sayYes even killer whales will toss a seal in "play" before eating or maybe not eating, but your observations are so completely surface that it makes me wonder?
There are reasons for all behavior, cause and effect.
That "play" as described is far more than "play", it is practice.
Things must learn to live, thats part of whats born into us, part of the natural "law", the bottom line.
The need for "printed rules" in itself reflects the anomaly of disconnect.
"Even "wild animals" recognize and respect natural rights (if you will).
Predators will kill to eat (= natural right), but if not hungry, the same critter will be perfectly peaceful in letting normally prey animals drink at the water hole (also natural right)."
then you say
"Yes even killer whales will toss a seal in "play" before eating or maybe not eating, but your observations are so completely surface that it makes me wonder?"
whose observations are "surface"...i don't have to keep back and qualifying what i said...
then you say
" There are reasons for all behavior, cause and effect.

after saying
"
We simply just have it born into us to "respect" certain natural rights.
Most critters will adopt an orphaned new born, humans tend to do the same, because there is something in us all that knows the bottom line and keeps driving us and all critters to try to stay consistent with that line.
All species have individuals who for whatever reasons seem to lose track of the bottom line rules of existence, such is also a natural, yet for the most part an anomaly phenomena.
so are these instincts "born into us" or are they developed by observing the world around us?
i can't argue with an inconsistent opponent...pick one argument and stick with it, please
