Re: Can animals commit suicide?
Agree with psyah here. The video by no means suggest suicide by these animals.
Suicide means intentionally, knowingly taking own life.
Animals are incapable of doing so.
The reason is obvious. Just read the words in bold.
Animals have not been shown to have the awareness of life and death.
Hence they cannot be considered committing homicide either.
All they know is how to inflict severe damage to the enemy without knowing the consequences.
An animal with seemingly depressed atittude and not eating (or even jumping from height) does not know and cannot know the consequences.
Hence does not commit suicide per se.
