If it is only claimed that the humans are just as bad (rather than worse), because ''both'' the humans and nonhumans kill wantonly, that is not this trope but may fall under [[Not So Different]].
 
[[No Real Life Examples, Please]] -- at least until we've made contact with an entirely pacifistic extraterrestrial race.

== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Touched on in ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' a little. Six claims murder is humanity's one true art. They also mention Cylons don't torture or try to inflict suffering when they kill. It turns out that she's completely full of shit, but in her defense, she didn't know it at the time.
* Averted in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' episode "A Christmas Carol". Kazran states that he wanted to see a fish, not kill one. The Doctor points out that {{spoiler|the shark}} was trying to eat Kazran, getting the response, "He was ''hungry.''"
* In the ''[[Star Trek the Original Series]]'' episode, "A Taste of Armageddon," this trope is the rationale for the insane computer war two worlds are fighting. To oppose that, Kirk has to tell them that they of course are capable of self-control like any rational being.
