The statement that they "like" to kill the weak. Instinct is not something they have a whole lot choice about, being hamsters and not people, as you pointed out posts above.

Your scenario is ridiculous and does not compare with what was going on.

First of all, the bears are in their natural habitat. They can get away from each other. A group of hamsters in less than a 10 gallon tank cannot. They are stuck in an area much smaller than what they would occupy "in the wild".

Second of all, I could be killed trying to separate a bear fight (which is happening in the wild), and so it is nothing like a hamster fight. You can't personally tell me that you were sitting there, terrified to separate the hamsters because they could kill you, were you? Were you sitting there, terrified with your cell phone camera, knowing that any minute they might burst through the glass and drag you into the fight?

Finally, the bear fight is not happening because of humans. The hamster fight is. Were the store not overstocked and treating their animals inappropriately, the hamsters wouldn't be fighting.
