Ethology is the study of animal behaviour in relationship to human behavioural patterns.
Animals have a wealth of knowledge to teach us, or, to be more accurate, remind us of that which we have forgotten during the ages of our social evolution. Ethology does not deny the possibility of Devine creation but, accepts that there is a pattern of natural order throughout all inhabitant species upon this planet. Mans' very first weapon was invented out of innocence, designed to eliminate physical contact and danger from the beast upon which he preyed. The family loving bomber pilot would be highly unlikely to ever murder innocent children or civilians in face to face confrontation. Our society is based upon fear, fear of being a coward, where death is preferable to stigma.
