Hey I have a theory, I have no idea if it will turn out to be a revolutionary breakthrough but what the hey...

OK so some people say that humans are the only predators who kill for fun. I was thinking that we don't kill for fun, we kill for possesion. Like if we were to kill a Rino (yes we'd be in jail) but we would take possesion of it's horn, and maybe sell it or keep it. But we would of killed the Rino for possesion of something.
A lion will kill to survive yes? It needs to kill to eat but the meat on the animal it has killed is possesion of what the lion wanted. Take any predator except humans, they will kill to keep possesion of teritory and for possesion of meat. My theory is that humans don't kill for the fun of it and neither do predators. They all kill for possesion.

Please give your ideas, but please do not flame me.

I've seen this before. We're also the only species that enjoys looking at porn. Have you ever seen a panda cum to porn?

People hunt for fun. Like shooting squirrels just for the hell of it.

--Jake--, we aren't the only animals who kill for fun, that's a misconception. In fact, lions have been known to go on killing frenzies and then leave the carasses for other animals to eat.

RabidHamster, we're also not the only species that enjoys looking at porn. Your very example of panda porn is actually what's contributing to the survival of pandas in captivity. Link. Bad luck with your example, mate.

First off it's spelled rhio, and it's not capitalized. But that's besides the point.

As Vijc mentioned, humans aren't the only animals that kill for fun. I think you're falling prey to a number of assumptions and generalizations here buddy.

1) Humans are usually way too irrational to put under the heading of "all or nothing", except in the sense that we're all animals on two feet. While there have been instances of people killing animals or other people to "possess" them in a sense (either stuffing corpses, or, like Dahmer or Ed Gein and others actually keeping bodies), there are just as many examples of wanton killing sprees and murder where no possession or items, be they physical otherwise, were taken.
2) Even when a lion kills, he doesn't keep the meat around. He eats his fill and moves on, and eventually what he takes even passes through him to be...left behind, to to speak. I would only agree that the possession of a stable food source would be a reaon for killing, but when you say "possession of meat" this mental image of a lion guarding a New York strip makes makes your reasoning hard to buy.
3) What about killing to avenge, to protect, to terrorize...acts without any clear or necessary need for possession after its all said and done.

An interesting idea none the less.

So that's where I came up with pandas! I had some memory of someone saying the phrase "panda porn," but I guess my brain flipped it around.

zomg, Another discussion on the differences between humans and animals. More or less, it just boils down to your religious preference (or lack there of). I prefer to think the difference is that humans operate on a scale of what they consider 'Good' and 'Evil' - a concious, I guess.

But that's why all animals have sex. Would you enjoy having sex if it felt like your tiddly wink were rubbing on sandpaper soaked in chili sauce?

Who the hell shoots panda porn? That's got to be the most disgusting job ever. In fact, I think Mike Rowe should become a panda porn photographer on the next episode of Dirty Jobs.

Heh, he already jacked off a pig in one episode. I'd say that's enough animal porn for the season.

Actually, hippos are considered to be the most dangerous land animal, because they kill even though they're vegetarians. So they kill for fun.

Hippos are just territorial, they don't actually roam around seeking animals to kill.

Would you be attracted to a panda in a bikini dancing next to you?
'Cause I'm pretty sure they aren't fond of humnans doing it...
