National Geographic Specials Eternal Enemies: Lions and Hyenas (1992)
Wow, this is some documentary. It's a reminder that animals on the savanna are not fighting to survive but that it's an all-out war where there is no clear bad guy or good guy but just creatures who solve everything with the most brutal violence imaginable. At one point a male lion attacks a hyena, breaks her spine, and just leaves her. She can't walk anymore, but she won't give up and rolls on the ground like a barrel.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
