That sort of ghastly behaviour can really only be explained by a malevolent deity to begin with, but it's worse than even that.
Trophic Efficiency is a measure of how effective biological systems are at moving energy through the ecosystem. It's at about 10% per energy transfer. That means that it takes 1000 calories of grass to make 100 calories of cow, to make 10 calories of human, to make 1 calorie of grave worms.
So not only do you have to kill and eat other living creatures to survive, you have to kill ten times as many! This sort of gruesome mess can only be reconciled with a particularly hateful god.
What a load of crap. We do not have to kill any other living creatures to eat.
Herbivores (you know cows, goats, horses, deer, rhinos, monkeys, sheep, rabbits,some fish etc) eat no meat and kill nothing to survive.
And Omnivores (you know humans, pigs, bears, lizards, turtles, some fish, rats and almost every other species on earth) are only eating meat by choice. I guess you have never met any vegetarians or vegans in your life. We do not have to kill anything to survive but it is fairly convenient that we can eat dead animals to survive if we need to. You are just trying to twist reality to fit your totally illogical and twisted worldview. Sorry, no dice.
Nay ye daft bint! The twsitiness and excrement be fully thine. Forsooth! The "herb" unto "herbivore" be the subtle hint. Or dinna ye ken as plants be quick also? Mayhaps it is thee as needs the schooling.
