I too was thinking to throw that dog a a bone and address this in terms
of survival, but other creatures gatherings are not greed, their
aggressions are not hatred. They do not suffer these self-imposed
burdens. We project these onto them, and other people - whose actions we
judge based on our own failings and fears - to redefine and reinforce
our sense of self. The very same survival mechanism, lying to itself
about this - aka delusion.

Yes. To some degree, acquisitiveness and aversion are necessary for
the survival and propagation of sentient beings on this plane of
existence.
We (currently existing sentient beings on earth) are the fittest
descendents of the winners in the evolutionary game of eat, survive,
reproduce.
