Chimps don't seem to be able to plan ahead in this way to remove
threats either.  Jane Goodall (I think) described a situation with one
female chimp who had the habit of killing and eating the babies of
other chimps.  The other chimps would defend their infants, but once
the killer got the infant, that was the end of the matter; they
wouldn't (couldn't?) act to prevent future infantcides.  This chimp
eventually died of natural causes.
