Different than Animals

 

What makes us different from other animals here on earth is that we don't just hunt for survival, we hunt for pleasure, control, and power.

In 1607, the first successful colony, Jamestown, Virginia was established.  In 1803, we decided to explore the western side of this country, and in so doing we confronted and damn near destroyed the Native Americans who had settled this land before us.

Those early Americans were very good at killing those who stood in the way of progress and today, 2025, we are still living in a country that likes to KILL.   In 2020, we started letting immigrants cross into our country illegally and without be properly vetted.

While some of these illegals were able to positively contribute to our society, many were not because they were criminals before they crossed the border.  Once inside the USA, they continued their criminal activities that included the killing of each other as well as Americans.

My point is that it is not just Americans who enjoy killing for pleasure but a cross section or all our global residents.  Mankind, the human race, enjoys the killing of others to advance their purposes whatever that might be.  That happens often enough to justify that we don't just kill for survival, we kill for sport.  Sport also includes power and control.
