Yep. It's a harsh life of dashed dreams and thankless offspring for the wild animals. They live from day to day and today they watched the DJIA drop 100 points while gasoline rose 10 cents. It's very quiet and depressed in the forest today. Or maybe it's that it is above freezing the 4th day in a row, the sun is shining, and the squirrels and birds are just lazing in the trees.
Yeah, I guess animals just live in the lap of luxury. What about those long periods where it's below freezing for months on end and there's no food to be found? Craploads of giggles just lazing in the trees then, huh? When there's too many deer and not enough berries? Or birds flying south to escape the winter who end up plowing into thunderstorms that developed to quickly for them to fly around them and get bludgeoned to death by hail, cremated by lightning or blown by updrafts to altitudes where they can't breathe or freeze to death?
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, other than that humans have it tough too, which is obvious. Religious folk like me refer to this world as this Veil of Tears, that is no paradise for either man or beast.
My only point is that nature is even more cruel and violent than man ever was or will be. All the nuclear warheads and C4 in the world couldn't stop an asteroid making a beeline for us. What makes our cruelty and violence so terrible is that we're supposed to know better. It's worse than nature by its moral context, not by degree.
