These are some interesting observations that can tell you who is more humanize: a human or an animal. Animals can really teach us how to be people.
A lion never uses his strength to humiliate another
Bears don’t discriminate when their young are female
The only difference between panthers and leopards is color
When a dolphin finds a hurt dolphin, he helps it stay afloat
Elephants never abandon the elderly
When two clans of gorillas meet, they always avoid conflict

So while they may be things some people should learn from the animals, we can't say they are better than us, at least not all.
More recent studies even show that chimpanzees are divided into tribes that go on genocidal warfare against eachother.
For no reason, chimpansees start beating the fuck out of one chimp.
Learn from that
- Male bears: sometimes kill the young bears, so female bears can have his children earlier (young bears stay about two years with their mother)
- Male elephants: often walk alone and are sometimes very aggressive to all other elephants
So the world is not that good and nice ...
life is contradictory and paradoxical by its very nature. you cannot point to any one animal or any one human being and find an avatar of angelhood. such individuals exist only in the minds of religious zealots.
the original points in the post are all still very valid and the few attempts at refutations are absolutely incorrect. (i.e.- no, leopards / panthers and jaguars are not even close to being the same species)
you might say that animals could learn a lot from humans (very true), but the point of the post is to show that the reverse is also very true. and nothing about that fact has changed...
anyway best comment is Mr Ree's, i lol'd
what exactly are you trying to say?
is that some roundabout way of asking me to address your post? okay, here's a couple examples:
> lions let the females hunt in lots of cases
no, the job of lionesses is to hunt in all of the cases unless there is a dire emergency. the job of the males is to be the protector of the pride, and most of them die very young through this process.
> bonobo uses a scapegoat in their society to blame it and hit it when they are irritated.
first of all, bonobos and chimps are man's closest relative, with almost 99% DNA in common. i mean, have you ever hear the word "bully"?
second, bonobo and chimp societies are hierarchical in nature, meaning that the tendency is for there to -always- be a low-status member in the group; frequently picked on.
any other assumptions about animals that you want me to correct, little fruit fly?
Politeness and care for one another is underrated. What happen to it?
