most non-two-legged animals live in harmony with natural balance, generally only eating when hungry & having sex for reproduction. Buddhism, for example, states that non-two-legged animals do not engage in karma since they are mostly programmed by genetics

that said, animals do not possess empathy & reflective reasoning. when they are hungry, they will kill indiscriminately. when they have emotions, like lust or anger, they will lash out immediately, without any reflection of the consequences

two-legged animals are the same.

for example, the two-legged animal invades other lands (like Australia). their human facility creates a human ideal (such as we will not harm the natives) but whenever a native stands in the way of their emotional desires (such as wanting land to make money) they will indiscriminately kill or steal from the native people

this is animal behaviour & want distinguishes humans from animals

humans follow the golden rule taught by every religion. in respect to killing, stealing, adultery, slander, etc, they love others the same as they love themselves

"animals are not like us because they do not possess empathy & reflective reasoning"

what in incredibly idiotic and ignorant/arrogant statement
many 5 year old children could easily see through, and beyond, your ignorance
your statement is a reflection of the deluded state of your mind.
osho may have being deluded, but he was a thousandfold more wise than what you have become.
you portray that you are enlightened and a buddhist, but really, to a significant degree, you are a creator and perpetuator of suffering for yourself and others.

i could provide many examples and stories to help you see
but it seems that you are not ready yet
there are none so blind as those that will not see
