Yeah,most animals have that lower level animal instinct,like the instinctual energies that govern our own sexual and lower stomach charkras which lie low and are right next to each other; hunger and sex.
Which can get a touch lets say combined and at the very worse in humans run to killing for no reason, other than practice or glee like we see in cats on a thrill kill.
Most of us humans pretend we cant understand it and are above it with sheer intelligence and compassion buts thats all bullshit cause intelligence and that makes for an even worse scenario at times. Its what seperates us mammals from animals we have higher energy centers that with compassion and intelligence often outbalance these lower ones completely.
