*sigh* here we go again...

There are _plenty_ of other animals which kill for reasons other than 
food. Siamese fighting fish kill rivals for the chance to mate - but 
they don't eat them. Several special of ants wage actual *wars*, 
sometimes on other species, sometimes on neighbours of their own kind.

Humans are of course the only animals to have developed tool usage. Oh, 
wait...

Ah, but humans *are* the only species who have sex for reasons other 
than reproduction. Oh, no, wait...
