Pretty sure that the orcas were not concerned about the convienence of the calf.

Correct, the only natural concern for a creature of the wild is either feeding itself or reproducing.

That does not place humans above nature. We are merely one species in nature, but not above it.

Just today I was watching a BBC nature documentary which included the hunting habbits of Orcas or "killer whales". And in it they tracked the habbits of a pod of killer whales targeting the calf of a sperm whale.
I get that the Orcas need to eat like all life. I simply don't like the thought of the weak being food.
Look at it this way: Predators are actually doing the natural world a great service. Without being eaten, prey animals would soon outstrip their own food supply and consequently suffer malnutrition, disease, starvation and death. Being eaten is a relative quick, painless way to go.

It happens a lot, but the bleeding heart, left wing, liberal, Jew-controlled, fake news media suppresses it.

Would you rather die from having a lion break your neck and asphyxiate you, or spend months/years in pain from debilitating cancer, every breath an agony?
