Just so. People are held responsible for their own actions. They are not dumb brutes manipulated by their environment. Which is the more humanistic view?

You assume bloodlust rather than other motives. I'm no zoologist but watching one of the nature shows w/my daughter (there's some violence on TV for you), there was an episode where adult lions routinely kill baby cheetahs without eating them, and for no apparent reason. So I suspect you are inaccurate on this one.
