Rules. Which would be a point... But nature has her own rules. There is the male lion of his Pride, an Alpha wolf to command his pack.

Terrible punishments for disobeying rules... If nonverbal, placed down from them, as you'd find in any supermarket managing tree.

Point. But there are barely any beasts that can claim to be serial killers. Indeed it is usually but the ones with the most human intelligence that are found to be capable of acts no greater than a demon.

What keeps a bird from slaughtering its neighbors on a whim? Or a dog from tearing the throat of a babes out while it sleeps?

Are we not just clever apes, waddling about on our hind legs in the end?

But even within the realm of animals, it has a purpose. To continue their bloodline. To stamp out competition. It is a cruel practice but to beasts it carries nothing but cold logic.

And we find man, a beast that will film the murders he commits, crowing with pride for every drop of blood he sheds, for little more than pleasure. A spike of boredom.

Which is more beastly? Are they equal in their differences? Or perhaps one is more reprehensible?

So in comparison, man needs not follow the laws. You're correct, actually.

There are punishments of course, for deciding to forge your own, considerably bloodier path.

I find them to be quite equal myself. One is just more talkative.
