@goatsarah if you think you know the minds of predatory animals, perhaps you're overreaching?

Do people call cats sadistic for playing with their kills?
Play is a valuable tool for learning and teaching young in the wild.

Humans are the only known species that kills purely for the heck of it. Orcas have never killed a human in the wild, and the animals they kill, they eat. Yes sometimes they have 'fun' with it - that doesn't make it "sadism", a human... pastime.
