AFAIK cats cats play with their prey not for fun but in order to tire it out.

I think that cruelty and sadism are human inventions and we inflict them on animals on an industrial scale. I believe this comes from hierarchy and domination present in our society, not from instinct.

Don't read up on dolphins or seals then. Cruelty and sadism exist in other animals. Humans are just better at it.

I mean lions don't have an instinct to control and dominate a herd... Wait.

And cats very often don't eat their prey, they like humans lol for the "fun"...
