You see this stuff in primates too. Though I wish I could remember which monkey. Either way, when a male loses its status in the hierarchy, they take out their frustration on another member that is less able to defend themselves. Which is usually females and juvinile males.
Non-human primates, but yes. Also, it's not restricted to male non-human primates and is also seen in females, especially in your various macaque and baboon species wherein female status is largely inherited from one's mother and sisters.
Fair enough. It's just another thing we share!
