00:00A bee scientist says animals kill just for fun.
00:03Like your cat.
00:05Acharya Prashant doesn't quite agree.
00:12Here's why.
00:13Wolves kill for fun. That's why the farmers hate them.
00:17They will sometimes invade a sheep farm,
00:20kill 15-20 sheep and eat one of them.
00:24There's a thrill there.
00:25If you have a cat, you will,
00:27unless it's wearing a bell.
00:29A cat likes to go out and kill some little bird out there.
00:33Because it's a thrill.
00:35Sometimes they don't even eat them.
00:36They even carry them back live
00:38and play with them a bit more
00:39because it's a thrill for them to let it get away, catch it again.
00:46You have been a crusader against anthropomorphization
00:50and I'm afraid that's exactly what you're doing right now.
00:53If the cat prefers to hunt for his food
00:56rather than accept food out of your hands,
00:59that is an evolutionary imperative, not a psychological thrill.
01:03If you keep feeding the cat out of your hands,
01:07the cat would lose its capacity to obtain its food for itself.
01:12And eventually, the species would be out somewhere in the cold and extinct.
01:17Yes, wolves can go out there and kill 15 goats when they need only one.
01:23But they'll not return to narrate that to their kids as legacy
01:27and say, you know, because I killed 15, therefore, son, you know,
01:30now you belong to a higher class.
01:32That kind of a thing is not going to happen.
01:34When the psychological self is not so much at play there.
01:37When the psychological self is not so much at play there.
01:44When the mental health heart is out there,
01:47then it is going to be someone to watch the sausage will hang out and enter into the group.DIA
