Here's why:
* Lack of Human-like Motives: Wild animals don't have the same complex mental capacity as humans. They don't have the concept of "sport" as a leisure activity.
* Survival Instincts: Animals primarily kill for survival: food, territory, or to protect their young.
* Excess Killing: Some animals, like wolves, may kill more prey than they need, but this is not done for enjoyment. It's often attributed to instinctual behavior, ensuring enough food for the pack, or practicing hunting skills.
* Playful Behavior: Some animals, especially young ones, might engage in play-fighting that can involve simulated killing. This is a form of practice for developing skills, but it's not done with malicious intent.
So, do animals kill for sport in the same way humans do? No. They don't have the concept of "sport" as an activity separate from survival needs.
However, some animals might exhibit behaviors that resemble "sport" to a degree, but these are driven by instincts, not by a conscious desire for enjoyment.
