100,000 years of human history would disagree on your pathology diagnosis. Humans have been killing for sport, for food, and for war, since before we were humans.

We are literally the best hunters in the known universe. Its not a pathology.

By what metric are we the best hunters? I'm no animal expert, but eagles, sharks, lions, etc. seem pretty good it!

Humans could hunt any of them to extinction. The reverse could not occur.

They are good. We are just better. And I'm sure there are many other civilizations in this galaxy that are much better than we are.

all the metrics. saying otherwise is just foolishness.

hunting laws are actually designed to limit our ability to hunt because we are TOO good at it. There are limits on ammo size, on weapon types, on times of year you're allowed to hunt, etc.
