Can you provide some counterexamples?
- throwanem 10y agoI've heard tell of ravens attacking humans who had previously attacked other ravens, sometimes quite a while before; at the moment I'm unable to go hunting a cite, but that might be a place to start.
- Symmetry 10y agoI think it's clear from context that the author meant intra-group aggression. A dispute between a human and a group of ravens isn't really a matter of politics in the way a dispute within a group of humans (or chimps for that matter) is.
- gus_massa 10y agoAfter 5 minutes of googling: * "Buffalo's brutal revenge: Animal gores lion and tosses it into the air after pride attacks its herd and slaughters one of its companions" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3518658/Buffalo-s-brutal-revenge-Animal-gores-lion-tosses-air-pride-attacks-herd-slaughters-one-companions.html#ixzz4buQqjhZZ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3518658/Buffalo-s-br... * "Rhinos save Buffalo from Hyena Attack" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-cbxLyRN0o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-cbxLyRN0o I guess that wolves and crows will also be good examples, but I don't have a link just now. Also, I live in Argentina and here it's common to have "dogs walkers" that pick a small number of unrelated dogs 5-10 from different owners. I guess that if someone is stupid enough to attack one of the dogs, the other dogs will react.
