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.

No one said it did.

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?
