It's very common for a lion to kill all the cubs of it's previous competition in order to ensure the survival of their genes.

Using "nature" to justify something is dumb, especially in society.

Observing and learning from the natural world is in no way dumb, it is extreme hubris to think we humans are so smart that we don't have to listen to nature. Or that society gets to be somehow outside of nature. It is that kind of logic that got us global warming, obesity & diabetes epidemic, big pharma, and loss of traditional knowledge and wisdom. If I see a momma holding her cub by the nape of the neck my first thought isn't going to be that I know better how to care for her young.

Learning from nature does not equal using nature to justify behavior.

That's not how I said it.

Yes, you're totally right.

Great, you've proven you lack a basic understanding of the world around you.

If I look in your room and you aren't sleeping directly on a rock floor, your sleeping situation isn't natural and you're a hypocrite.

What did I not understand? That it is bad and you want to kill animals, if you threat them like this? Bullshit! This is quite a normal behaviour and doesn't harm puppies. And if I wanna sleep on a rock, I can do it, you shouldn't judge me for it. In fact some cultures do sleep on the hard floor. It isn't a bad thing.

If you want to show me indicators for beeing a bad human beeing search for other things.
