      I agree with other comments very much. The mothering instinct is very strong in us. Hormones may kick it off but only deep humanity can expand it into empathy across species and deep dedication to the well being of other life forms.

      I saw an run over, exploded duck with its guts spilled out when I was 10. The entire body was completely flattened but the head and neck were still in the air... The worst part was that it was still alive and it was screaming horribly when a car was driving over it without touching it... For the time I saw it none of the drivers had the courage to kill it by driving over it :/
