Animals do that to keep their flock strong, and to make sure the "deficient" animal doesn't produce equally deficient off-spring. Maybe, racism in humans first originated from the same source. However, we are supposed to be evolved enough by now to outgrow urges to kill people with different skin color. This story really horrified me. It's incredible that things like these still happen in the 21st century. I really hope that all the attackers have some mental problems, otherwise this story is still scarier.
it's not a solely human trait. I've seen many an albino bird get mangled by its siblings, and I'd be prepared to bet that a chimp with funny coloured fur would be ripped to shreds too.
