I was watching a Nature programme yesterday. I watched something on there that made me feel awful and I did actually cry. It was a lion capturing and killing a baby elephant!!
I love baby elephants, it was painful to watch, I was horrified
Why horrified? You must have known lions kill other animals for food and, naturally, like most carnivorous hunters, they go for the youngest and weakest because then their hunt is more likely, other things being equal, to succeed. A lion's gotta eat. It's just nature being red in tooth and claw. Doesn't do to get emotional about it.
Does a frog eating a fly upset you too? If not, why not? It's essentially the same.
