How I wish they were "inhuman!"

I wish I could agree that their actions are inhuman but, alas, no animal purposely puts its offspring in danger; no animal brings its children up to die murdering its enemy; no animal parent fails to protect its children and rejoices and celebrates their suicides. If these actions insult animals by comparison, how can we deny they are all too human?
