Is humane being human?

Humane looks like a word that came out from the word human and from a layman term it could have meant 'being human', somewhat related to the good side of human characteristics. Hence, one will associate the phrase 'being human' as something good as opposed to being called 'an animal' which is something bad. If someone called someone an animal, one will no doubt think that that someone is behaving like an animal, a characteristic of a beast that is not good term to be associated to.

So does being a human really humane? Seriously, what did the animals did to be labelled that their term being an animal is something bad. Animals really did nothing. They just behave what nature creates them to be. Like any other species, they kill to survive, they kill to defend themselves or their offsprings. Has anyone witness they killed for other evil motives besides the above stated? Hence an animal being an animal is what nature creates that ultimately leads to the term, the circle of life. A balanced and an efficient system that leads to no waste.

On the other hand, being a human is not beneficial to nature. A human is once an animal and still it is an animal but an animal with a destructive mind engineered against nature. Humans engineered things to make their life better and most of their inventions or rather all their inventions have something in them that will destroy nature. Nature does not need anymore human invention to be better. Her default nature is already perfect on the day that she was born.

Hence being called human is actually a even worse then being called an animal.
Anyway, here is what the definition of humane in Wikipedia :-

Humane in early use meant civil, courteous or obliging towards humans and animals. In modern times it is characterized by sympathy with or consideration, compassion and benevolence for others, especially for the suffering or distressed.

Animals do have such characteristics too. Dogs, dolphins etc shows such characteristics without being taught by human. They are naturally born with that. So being human is an overrated word. So when someone called you an animal, be proud of it.
