The Marquis de Sade was all about arguing that in nature, the strong dominate the weak, so therefore his particular, uh, beliefs were clearly the way God intended the world to work.

Chimps are known wage war against each others until one group is wiped out.
Male lions who take over a pride kills every cub that the rival sired (so does dolphins).
Sharks kill their siblings while they're still in the womb.
A lot of animals die when they fight each other over a female animal.
Territorial animals (like wolves) will kill rivals that enters their territory.

Also, hamsters eat their own babies. In fact, cannibalism is extremely common among many species.

iirc this specific behavior has been observed one time. they absolutely go to war with other groups, but other then that single known example typically the losing group has their males and young more or less wiped with any survivors and females absorbed into the victorious group.

e: which admittedly is probably worse

Yes, except in all of those cases animals usually do these things to survive. Meanwhile, humans get a bug up their rear end about some people in a population of 7 billion being gay or want to dress in a way different than theirs. They have the ability to notice their habitats being destroyed by their own methods of comfort, kill each other in more cruel and longer, less direct ways and lie about doing exactly this all the while; whining that they are moral and just for deliberately want to mutilate their own kind because they don't follow a tenant of dogma.

Animals at least have the decency to only hurt their own or hunt for prey. Humans just want to burn everything down with them because Mah Bibble isn't respected enough.

Humans have observed their own behavior and changed it for the better. Human sacrifice, for example, hasn't been a thing for centuries to millennia depending on which continent you're talking about.

I get what you're going for here, but you're wrong. There have been many recorded cases of animals killing for fun. Chimpanzees stab bush babies just for the hell of it and dolphins regularly hunt even when they're not hungry.

Generally speaking, the mammals developed enough to have emotions are also capable of cruelty. In addition to the above mentioned, Dolphins have been observed murdering other marine mammals purely for sport, and there are true stories about elephants deliberately hunting down and killing humans in retaliation for the deaths of family members.

I was under direct orders not to die
🐵❌💀

Ever since the Cambrian Explosion life on this planet has been about killing and dying. Cats kill for fun, some types of orcas kill for fun, but usually it's at least practicing. The orcas who snatch baby elephant seals off the shore line in Chile sometimes eat them, and sometimes let them go. They just wanted the practice. Humans kill everything they can for fun just because they can.

I've often thought that species with more advanced brain development often get so bored that they'll kill something as a form of stimulus. It's not conscious, it's just something we do. You see a little bug crawling across a table, most people will squish it. Not for any reason other than it was there and gave them something to do. Apes in captivity will kill mice and other things and play with their bodies because it's something to do. Serial killers are mentally ill and their reasons for killing may stem from the boredom and stimulation thing, but goes way beyond that and comparing it to a snake defending itself from getting stepped on or a scorpion finding prey is loving stupid.

So when that comic claims that being a serial killer is the same as being gay because killing is found in nature as well as homosexuality, he clearly doesn't understand why death happens in certain circumstances so there's no way he'll understand why it's different. He's probably also the kind of person who gets really offended when we say humans are a species of ape because no, we were made in God's image and we're different! How dare you say I'm a monkey! Because they also won't know that apes aren't monkeys.
