Humans don’t have to kill things with their teeth. Sharks do.

Yeah one thing you notice about the ocean is the teeth are designed so if you catch something it can’t get away. Look at anglerfish and baleen. White sharks have hundreds of teeth. Most omnivorous land mammals have teeth just like ours.

This is just a bad comparison, but it is funny.

The joke is making fun of people who call us carnivores, though. Our teeth are very different from land carnivores, as well.

Again, humans don’t kill with their teeth like land carnivores do.

Funny thing is, have You ever seen any human having this kind of teeth naturally? No? Good coz nobody has, maybe (just maybe) as replacements but that would be the really cheap ones.

Just because an animal does it doesn’t mean it’s okay for humans to do it

That depends on which humans and where. There are still plenty of tribes that live in areas where vegetation simply does not support their population. Luckily, humans evolved to be feed on more things than most things on the planet. We can eat plants, fungi, bugs, fish, etc.

So you’re right. Humans don’t need to kill animals. We can survive by killing just about any living thing on this planet. We can even eat things that would otherwise be super toxic to us by learning how to cook it, peel it, or skin it.
