How does the relationship between the Hyena and Orange Juice compare/contrast with the relationship between religions (as seen earlier in the novel)

While on the life boat there was clearly a lot of tension between the hyena and Orange Juice. They were both unfamiliar with each other, because they were from different parts of the world, and they didn’t know how to act around each other. It seemed remarkable to Pi how a frugivorous orangutan and a carnivorous hyena could possible live without conflict. This relationship was in complete contrast with the relationship between religions, as seen when the three wise men who speak with Pi’s family. It seemed that the animals were much more accepting of the unknown than were humans. The three wise men immediately came to blows about who was right and who was wrong but the animals peacefully ignored each other. The animals appeared to be what humans should try to be, accepting, until the hyena finally attacks and kills Orange Juice. At this point, the hyena represents all that is bad in humanity and seems very akin to the three wise men. The religious leaders all jumped at each other’s throats, just like the hyena jumped at Orange Juice’s throat.
