I have heard, seen and read in numerous places about how much better animals are than humans because we humans do stupid crap and treat each other like crap while animals don't.
Well to be quite frank they actually do.
Tons of Animals eat or abandon their young. Numerous insects kill their mates. Plenty of animals will kill you with a hair trigger (get to close, make a loud noise, you are just there).
Numerous predators will eat animals and people alive or kill in the most gruesome fashion possible. There are numerous attacks on humans that do actually happen without the human being at fault. Animals will kill just for being in their territory.
Even animals we consider cute and domesticated. House cats are insane, we give them food and water each day and they still chase smaller animals. My sister's cat has killed a few mice and not eaten any of them, heck she told me she came home one day and the cat was laying on the ground next to a half dead bird like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Animals have power struggles within their groups and perform actions for social advantage. Animals also rape and forcibly impregnate mates sometimes (I've seen it in documentaries).
Here's an example of one Chimp hat was an outright lunatic:

Bullying:
Stealing:
Power Struggle:
Violence, Murder and Incest:
While there are communities of animals who do take care of each other we are the only species I know of that will help those born with birth defects so debilitating that they may spend their entire life unable to move or speak or hear or see. Animals with those defects would usually be forced to fend for themselves.
Animals are sexist in that each gender has defined roles, Animals can be dumb such as Pandas not mating and going extinct. Animals are territorial, agressive, insensitive and dangerous.
We aren't perfect and neither are they.
(I did like no research for this aside from the chimpanzee but I can definitley name examples if it came down to it.)

Bullying:
Even from a young age, Frodo was large and aggressive. He learned to throw rocks as a juvenile, sometimes throwing them at and hitting and bruising his human observers.
was also able to intimidate other chimpanzees into sharing their kills with him if he was unsuccessful.
while Freud and other community members were suffering from sarcoptic mange, Frodo defeated Freud and attained the alpha male position.
Frodo's aggression has not been limited to colobus monkeys and other chimpanzees. In May 2002, he killed a 14 month old human baby that the niece of a member of the research team had carried into his territory.[29] As a result, the Tanzanian National Parks Department considered euthanizing Frodo.[29] In 1988, he attacked cartoonist Gary Larson, leaving him bruised and scratched.[29] In 1989, he attacked Dr. Goodall, beating her head to the point of nearly breaking her neck.[29]
Frodo has been successful at fathering infants.[30] Infants he has fathered have included:
Fred (1996–1997), by his own mother Fifi[17]

By the time I figured out what the cat was doing it was a little too late for me to do anything about it. I mean, the cats are there to get the varmints...but I felt bad for the baby bunny.
