We are the only creatures on Earth who kill other animals (and ourselves) for pleasure, we start wars with eachother, we destroy our environment, and while other animals have a natural equilibrium with their environment, we (much like a virus) instead multiply and move from place to place until all resources are consumed then we move to another area.

Someone remind me again why Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc. think we’re SO much better than animals

It’s not really exclusive to religions either. There are some pretty normal people out there who think they’re naturally better than animals, and they could be atheistic or something of the sort where their religious text doesn’t say anything on the matter.
Up here, there was a debate about putting down violent dogs, and the first thing I thought was “wait, we don’t have the death penalty because it’s inhumane and instead we rehabilitate criminals, but dogs are instantly tossed in front of a gun?"

Name one animal that has killed for pleasure instead of food or defense.

That’s why I don’t believe in the bible, if God didn’t want us to eat animals why did he make them so damn delicious?

As much as I agree with you on this one Wild Dogs taunt and torment there prey before killing it. Sometimes they don’t even eat the carcass.

Their own hill isn’t big enough to hold their colony and the ants will die due to overcrowding and/or the ants need food to live and that food could be in the other hill.

Humans have waged war for far lesser reasons.
