It's not off-topic.
Please don't tell me we have some inbred desire to procreate and protect our young, when in reality many of them are being killed in the name of 'non-viability' before they even have a chance to see the world.
What animal does that?
Animals that kill their young after they are born are exempt from my point.
I don't think that any other animals have the ability to kill their fetuses. Humans are different in some ways due to our advanced technology and in my opinion, the fact that we have hands.It's not off-topic.

At least they have a chance to run.
Well, it could have a number of them. If by "half a wing" you don't mean a wing that's been chopped in half, that is.I didn't want my first thread to be like this, but I've seen some others like it so I thought I would start one.
I've changed a lot of peoples minds on this, so I found it necessary.
1 - What would be the purpose of a half wing?
We've heard enough of coprolites and fruit bats, so I'd like to address this instead:2 - What evidence do you have for the TRex being a meat eater? Don't say because of it's teeth.
Not at all. For one thing, being a basketball player is a choice humans are relatively free to make or not make. An animal's diet is not like that. Your whole body - the cutting, grinding etc. mechanics of your teeth, the way your digestive tract is built, the content of your digestive juices, your metabolism, the microbes that live in your intestines, everything is adapted to a particular kind of diet (ours happens to be fairly broad, but that's not always the case).This is like finding the bones of a tall man and assuming he was a basketball player!
In what ways do we not act like animals?3 - If humans are animals, why don't we act like it?
Because it used to be. If it had disappeared, we'd not call it vestigial, we'd call it absent...4 - If the appendix is 'vestigial', why is it part of the digestive system?
Then you must have lived under a rock in the last few years, because chromosome 2 has been all over the internet.5 - If we share a common ancestor with apes, how do they have two more chromosomes than we do. YES WE DO! Look it up yourselves. I've never gotten ANY explanation for this.
And what do the vast majority of dead bodies do? Rot and get eaten.6 - ALL dead organisms leave behind dead bodies.
They don't... we have a lot more than that, I'm sure. If I put my mind to it, I could probably dig you up more than a hundred just from the small areas of vertebrate palaeontology I'm most familiar with.So why do evolutionist claim that we only have like 100 transitional forms?
Um, they do?7 - Why don't Monkey's have babies today?
Because humans often see things they want to see, not things that are really there.8 - Why have so many humans claimed to have seen dinosaurs in the congo and Lockness?
Sorry to disappoint you.I can't wait to see some of the struggling responses to this.
Quite a lot of them, from what I know, but it seems I've been beaten to the pleasure of telling you thatIt's not off-topic.

We investigated filial cannibalism in an insect, the assassin bug Rhinocoris tristis. In this species, males guard eggs of a number of females, cannibalizing some of their offspring within the brood. We monitored guarding males in both the field and the laboratory. Males typically ate eggs around the periphery of the brood, which were those most likely to have been parasitized by wasps. However, cannibalism persisted in the laboratory in the absence of parasites, and the number of cannibalized eggs was related to the length of care and overall brood size, suggesting that males use eggs as an alternative source of food.
Actually, many (all?) mammals can reabsorb foetuses if conditions are too poor to give them much chance. IIRC, the phenomenon was a favourite of the early group selectionists - unselfish population control mechanism "for the good of the species", or whatever, though it has a perfectly selfish explanation. You don't want to waste resources you could put into future offspring if the ones you are carrying are likely to starve to death or starve YOU to death.I don't think that any other animals have the ability to kill their fetuses. Humans are different in some ways due to our advanced technology and in my opinion, the fact that we have hands.

Evolution requires faith.

More likely a good old drive by PRATT poster. I've seen dozens of them over the years.Really?
Poe? I don't know!
I'll repeat the question: what animal performs abortions on its own kind?
If the OP is suggesting we're animals because we, just like the animals do, have some inbred desire to procreate and protect our young, then I submit that we are not animals.
OTOH, if the OP is not suggesting that, then just forget I said anything here.
Animals that kill their young after they are born are exempt from my point.
