You realise that the rest of the animal kingdom doesn't live in a fairy land of peace and harmony, right? Animals brutally kill other animals all the time. It's not as if making lions the new world order would turn Earth into some kind of utopian society.
I am not saying that we are the only one that causes violence. The violence we commit are far worse than animals. Sure, lions kill other animals for food or in defence; but what right do we have to kill others? We kill other people due to conflict. Self-defence? That relates to the one who attacks, so it is not the defender's fault if he hurts the attacker. Even though animals kill each other, we also kill them; so what's the use when we kill more animals if animals are part of nature? Look at Earth. What have we done to change it? Many things. Pollution, global warming, resource shortages, and there are other countless things that we have done.
