I disagree, we all have a sixth sense.

And it is also as Israfil mentioned "spiritually sensitive"

really, and yet man has to kill for other reasons that is not for survival  If man is the best of creation then man would not be killing each other or creating bombs to bomb another, or making biochemicals to terrorise one another

haven't you seen animals kill each other angel? do you think a tiger will go and lick a deer? do you think an elephant will go and lick a lion? do you think a lion will go and lick a wolf?  i have seen animals how they terribly fight with each other....and then they kill each other and then they openly eat the meat.....at least man does not openly eat the meat of another person who he has killed...

I have seen animals kill for food too.  It is nature's way.  How else are they to survive at all?  It serves a purpose in nature, Salman.  It keeps the herd populations under control for one thing.  And while it is somewhat sad to see, the animals have to do this to live....for food. 

We, humans, do it because WE DON'T LIKE SOMEONE ELSE.  With animals that's not the case.  It's nothing "personal" with them....it's survival, and it's the way God made them and planned for their survival.

God's Peace.

no patty, this is not always true....have you seen a wolf dwell in a tiger's locality? if the tiger has just finished his meal....do you think that tiger will allow the wolf to stay in that tiger's locality? the answer is no. the tiger will drive the wolf out of his locality, because he does not like that

Salman said,

Usually animals drive other species or other sex animal away to protect their young, or to protect the herd.  I would imagine the tiger had kittens....babies to protect.
