Quote:Animals also kill for "no reason at all". Chimps became famous for this.


Just because the reason may not be discernible to us is not the same as saying they don't have one. In the clip, it seems to be a question of territoriality.

Now...if one of those chimps looked into the camera and said "'god' told me to kill" that would be something else.
