Gentile "art":

Gentiles apparently found hunting so worthy of glorifying that
they decided to make "art" depicting their endeavors.

To be fair, I have no problem with the art style as such. From a
purely aesthetic point of view, I actually do like these
paintings due to their simplicity and abundance of empty space.

This is the actual issue. Instead of siding with the innocent,
distressed prey, as we would...

...they choose to side with the predators going after them like
a gang of typical high school bullies.
In other words, the ignobility of these cave paintings isn't a
matter of their style nor their substance, but the artists'
interpretation of the latter. Whereas we would frame them as
depicting the brutality of hunting, Gentiles frame them as
depicting its glory.

I see! We could use them to illustrate the inferiority of
Gentiles!

I actually like the thought that these paintings influenced at
least some of our ancestors in their decision to reject their
more primitive contemporaries' violent lifestyle. I strongly
believe that empathy and artistic sensitivity are intrinsically
linked. Graphic hunting depictions such as your examples or this
painting...

...would surely convince anyone with the slightest sense of
compassion that hunting is evil, even if they had no conception
of the prey's suffering before!

"Gentiles frame them as depicting its glory."
To support this point, we could also note that cave paintings
depicting gathering are far rarer (in fact I myself have yet to
come across one!) If hunting scenes were painted purely as a
celebration of being able to obtain food, we would at least
expect gathering scenes to also have been painted with similar
frequency. That the latter were not suggests, as you say, that
the emphasis was on glory, whereupon indeed gathering scenes
would not have been painted as gathering is generally much less
difficult/dangerous.

[quote]About 35,000 years ago, a bear died in a cave in Siberia.
It was a small cave bear – also known as the Russian cave bear,
even though the first specimen was found in Britain. The problem
was that the small cave bear wasn’t alone in the cave.
Apparently a human was there and speared the bear in the head,
possibly while it was in a hibernation stupor, scientists
suspect.
...
Large cave bears could rear up to more than 3 meters (nearly 10
feet) in height. Small ones were also probably best killed while
asleep. But it bears adding that they seem to have been
vegetarian, unlikely to have been hunting the humans for food
for themselves.
So what have we here? In a cave, a vegetarian small cave bear
died 35,000 years ago in the sort of cave people also liked to
occupy.[/quote]
