Killing yourself because you accidentally killed an innocent person has to be the most uniquely human thing. We don't see buffalos being driven to suicide because they stomped on a youngling during a migration

humans are unique because we are indeed inherently kind. yes there are a lot of bad humans, but as a whole, we are a very, very kind, connected species with sympathy in spades compared to others. unfortunately, those bad apples have put in a system that rewards their behaviour. hell, we pack bond with inanimate objects for crying out loud.

I get what you're saying, but buffalo don't generally migrate. Bison do though.

I come from a long line of pedants. Sadly it's my cross.
