And you're going to argue that humans 'puncture and rip' in order to consume their food??
Ok, so, when you eat an apple...

Do you like cram it into the back part of your mouth where the molars are, or do you puncture into and wedge/slice into the apple with your front cutting teeth to get a chunk, whereupon, you then positoin the piece onto your molars for further chewing?

You don't have to chase prey, or eat it while living to eat with your teeth as designed. They are designed to pierce, cut, tear, and chew, incisors, canines, and molars. Pretty cool.

And when a human eats a big piece of steak, especially if a little overdone and tough, yes, they puncture into the meat with thier front teeth, and tear off a piece if they have not cut it with a knife (what, we didn't always have steak knives and daggers???), and reposition it to the molars where...well you get it.
