Well... all of them seem pretty human to me - certainly no other animal (well... maybe a chimp) would be so creative in how they screw around with another creatures life. It reminds me of that bit from "WaterShip Down" where Strawberry tries to convince Woundwort: "Animals don't behave like men," he said. "If they have to fight, they fight; and if they have to kill they kill. But they don't sit down and set their wits to work to devise ways of spoiling other creature's lives and hurting them. They have dignity and animality." It's always stunned me that we use "humane" to describe that particular kind of behavior...
