I expect you are thinking about homo sapiens...

Ever watched a cat with a mouse or a lizard though? I KNOW they ain't hungry 'cause I fed them myself.

I'm told (by my boyfriend sitting right behind me!) that orcas do this too.

Hey pam, homo sapiens should be the right answer to this question.

I think cats, orcas, lions and other species doesn't wander around killing animals just for fun of it, rather improving their hunting skills. it's a law of survival for them, becoming more accurate and lethal.
