In this video i want to show you guys that animals fight but for some specific reason . They dont just fight for no reasons.
With reference especially to the higher vertebrates, we shall maintain and defend the two following theses: I. Fundamentally, among animals, fighting is not sought nor valued for its own sake; it is resorted to rather as an unwel- come necessity, a means of defending the agent’s1 interests. II. Even when an animal does fight, he aims, not to destroy the enemy,’ but only to get rid of his presence and his interference.
I. The animal fights in order to gain or to retain posses- sion of that which is of value to him, such as food, mate or nest. With animals, as with men, the cause of a quarrel is very commonly a coveted territory. My dog drives away other dogs from my house and yard. In general, each agent drives away other animals from his own nesting place, his chosen place for sleeping at night, his place for basking in the sun, or other territory which he can appro- priate and use. Two animals fight only when their inter- ests conflict. This is the fundamental fact in regard to infra-human fighting.
Animals do not enjoy fighting for its own sake. Unless his anger is aroused, the agent’s behavior indicates that he has no appetence2 for the fighting situation; he does not seek it; when in it he does not endeavor to prolong it; and he reveals by his expressions that he does not enjoy it. On the contrary, fighting belongs under the class of nega- tive reactions or aversions;2 it is a means of getting rid of an annoying stimulus. As McDougall says, the stimulus of the instinct of pugnacity is the thwarting of some other instinct. If the animal’s instincts are not thwarted, if annoying stimuli do not thrust themselves upon him, he will never fight. He fights only when he is attacked, or threatened, or his interests are interfered with.
