Sounds conclusive to me...

More like a typical reporter screwing up what the scientific consensus really is.

Or when a bear grabs a baby out of a stroller (see my response in the hunting thread), the other bears are saying, "dude, you really shouldn't do that".

You "caring" is a human emotion, and ultimately I would say it just means that fishing/hunting are not for you.

Humans are not the only animal that are capable of caring about the welfare of other animals. Dogs, dolphins, cats, whales, and even bears all have a long and well documented history of caring for not only humans but lesser forms of animal life as well. Please keep in mind not all of these animals, just like not all humans, behave this way.

Interesting point wacki, but do you not consider these to all be forms of personification rather than genuine animalistic traits.

Do you think the scenario where a predator cares for the prey when another predator (of the same species as the other predator) kills it is possible?
