I guess I don't find the motive to be all that important. Maybe it's motivated by malice (I think that apes and dolphins might be able to feel something equivalent of malice, it's hard to say.) Who cares what the motive is, or whether or not it's natural. It's one of the clearest cases of an immoral behavior out there.
