Erm,, most animals actually eat their own offspring.

You must not know nature. Cannablism is commonly seen in nature amongst several species, including octopi (kids eat their mother), spiders (Females eat the males) and EVEN LIONS (mothers have been observed eating their dead cubs, + male infanticide is normal but they don't eat the cub they just kill it)

For most mammals I don't believe its healthy so its a last resort, but neither is chocolate...

Both lions and crocodiles have a story of eating their young

I think there are still some tribes in Africa that practice cannibalism.

they're disturbed and are straying from the wishes of mother nature, just like those african tribes. exceptions.

Mother nature is a metaphor. She is not real.

It is often displayed in lions; a male lion encroaching on the territory of a rival pride will often kill any existing cubs fathered by other males; this brings the lionesses into heat more quickly, enabling the invading lion to sire his own young. This is a good example of cannibalistic behavior in a genetic context.

i'm pantheistic. how dare you disrespect my religion like this

Putting "mother nature" on a pedestal is not smart

The more you learn about nature, the more you know its messy as f***. Lion Infanticide is not an exception, its the typical behaviour from the male Lions towards cubs which aren't theirs. Similar in Polar bears, except the male Polar Bears will kill their own cubs whereas Lions mainly kill other males' cubs.

what if I don't believe in religion...

mothers/fathers kill their own children too (or even another parents kids, like kidnapped kids) so i dont see how is that any different? they're disturbed. that's not mother nature's fault. it's not normal for mammals to eat their own species. just like it's not natural for humans to kill other humans, it's against the laws of Gods and men.

Darwinism was also used to defend robber barrons of america back in the 1900s.

So just because it ties into a saying by some scientist doesnt make it right.


I feel like they are the same. They are both lives being killed. Its wrong to strip them away from their lives. Humans have become very greedy and selfish and naive. It sucks how we think something like killing animals for food is something acceptable when we could just easily use plants fruits vegtables and other sources to fufil our diets. Hopefully in the future we are more woke.

what does theology have to do with science

and no, cannibalism is a natural event.

amongst mammals? no. insects? yes
