This is a great point that I also called out elsewhere. The orca lifestyle, despite their intelligence and their physical prowess, really speaks to a certain level of social and emotional intelligence that humans don't simply possess.

I think it's interesting that orcas and other intelligent animals possess an ability to be contented. Humans are decidedly discontented and crave.

If you've ever seen one hunt a seal you'll also see exactly how human-like they are when they play with their food by throwing it up in the air and catching it.

A brutal practice for sure, but several animals will play with their food.

Have you considered that human violence exceeds playing with food by many, many orders of magnitude?
