No one does. 🙁

No (I looked for a smiley that just had a blank staring face but couldn't find one, so I am forced to make my own).

Do you expect a killer whale to act like a rabbit?

I am not sure if its the Meths I am drinking, but can you throw any light on where you are going with this?

These are straightforward questions.

I understand now.

I would not expect killer Whales to act like Rabbits.

Can I ask a question now?

You just did.

My apologies for the delay in asking the question 😉

Am I wrong in thinking our behaviour as humans should have evolved as exponentially as our technical ability?

Yes, you're wrong in thinking that. But more to the point, the problem lies in what I think you mean by "evolved".

"Should" implies a subjective moral judgement. On my personal moral yardstick though, I certainly agree with you.

My point goes even further than that, though. Even before our technical ability was developed we were already a different species and, therefore, had already a different genetical conditionment for our behaviour. Add on top of this cultural elements and the case for comparisons with behaviours of other species can be seen to be very weak indeed.

Now, you see how the question "Did you ever stop to think about the implications of us being a different SPECIES from rabbits?" arises naturally.

One should not entertain lines of thought that link animal behaviour to expected human behaviour. This was my point. I know you were arguing for differentiation of behaviour, yet you were arguing on the grounds of the same mistake.

never driven by hatred or for the sake of amusement or sport. -gb

I have no argument with your response to my question.

And your comment to the previous poster above is the point I am trying to make but struggling to find the right words.

Sonny, I can tell you that at least 99% of the forummers here wouldn't know a neuron if they ever saw one.

And that, my friend, is a FACT.
