Note that you had to stop at toddler. 

Every Toddler is basically a sociopath... however as we grow from such an age, we develop morals and much more abstract thought processes.

To compare animal motivations with human ones is in general to greatly oversimplyfy things.

Human motivation is MUCH more complicated and is much more involved.


Oh I pretty much agree, but we're still animals both biologically and in our most basic imperatives. We just have fancy window dressing on top. All humans are is animals where intelligence has been kicked up a notch or two.


Which makes human's very different and special.

Just how Animals are more valuable then plants do to their far superior cognitive functions.


Given the choice between being forced to kill a dog and a cat, your choice is just going to be base on which animal you like more. 

Given the choice between killing a dog and a human like creature with human like intellegence.  You're going Dog every time.
