Isn't that reason enough? Kill or be killed?
So, one Tiger kills a human, of course those other hunt him down. Not for revenge, but to minimize the threat and that's why they don't stop.

Or would you want to live in a primitive village, with the fear, that every day some Tiger could attack and kill you?

Very interesting responses! Thank you!
But that doesn't explain why the baboon doesn't hunt down all tigers and eliminate the threat to their species. Man is the ONLY species that will, in this scenario, hunt down all of the tigers they can find, simply because ONE killed one of their own.

Baboons also minimize the threat. But not by hunting down all of the species that threatens them. They do it by changing their own behavior. WHY?
Man IS an animal, but there's something different about him that causes him to slay ALL of a species that he can get to as opposed to just the one that killed the village baby.

Humans, as animals, are relatively fragile.
We aren't very strong for our size and we can't take much damage.
Maybe we react in such a barbaric fashion to insure our survival.

Originally posted by ShadowAngel85Humans are Humans and not animals, sorry but it's stupid to think that in my oppinion.
1. A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure.
2. An animal organism other than a human, especially a mammal.
