Do you watch nature shows? They are pretty cruel too. I am not negating the cruelty of humans, but for many animals life is brutish and short no matter where they live it.
Nature will do what nature does.
Humans are suppose to know better and the Intent is the problem.
In nature they defend territory or make a delicious meal out of prey. Doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
But for a human to prey on an animal, who is dependent upon your care...
Inexcusable.
