A recent study published in Nature looked at thousands of different mammal species and worked out the percentage of cases in which animal fatalities were caused by their own kind.
people who say the world is "going to hell" are the ones that don't understand science and evolution.. humans are animals with 3 different layers of brain influencing their behavior, parts of their brain that don't often communicate to each other well. Our animal instincts often take over during times of weakness. We have a savage history and people act like it's something new. Wholesale slaughter of millions of people dates back as long as humans have walked the earth. Rape, killing of competing cultures offspring, etc... it was widespread.. raping and pillaging, using the weak, you name it... we are more peaceful today per capita than ever before in the history of our species.
Human behavior is actually quite predictable to anyone who studies science or psychology with any sort of depth. All our emotions and behaviors are the result of neural connections in the brain, neochemicals such as cortisol, dopamine, etc. that control our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, the limbic system, amygdala, etc. A lot of spiritual self help books talk about love being our natural state when it's not, fear is our natural state because it's a survival mechanism that is wired in us whether we want it or not.
Whoa thunk?! Meerkat Manor is like Ceasars Palace. Plotting in dark corners, hooded and cloaked figures, scuttling about, delivering vials of Mandrake or Nightshade to scheming courtisans. Timon, wearing a toga, waits for Pumba to turn his back, so to slip a dagger in. It's PORK CHOPS tonight fellas!! Lol, well, Meerkat may kill each each other, but their motives probably differ from humans. Still, the mental pic of toga wearing Meerkats, and cries of "Et tu Brutae" coming from Meerkat Manor is rather amusing.

We were watching the Meerkats and a red tail zooms in a doesn't even stop. Just a grab and go
anyone who watched Meerkat Manor knows full well how murderous these things are.
LOL
Yeah, funny that the show sucked in all these young viewers with "cute meerkats" and then as things are in the wild the show started to go all "game of thrones" with snakebites and other predations.
My friends daughter was a big fan and was bawling when her favorites started dying left and right.
