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.
Life....doesn't have to eat other life to survive. Autotrophs are the basis of our food chain. Life eating life is an optional and highly effective strategy. Does that make you feel better or worse about it?
Hell...ideally.... you want to eat the strong, not the weak. More meat on the bones. The weak are just more convenient.
