Forgetting that we exist for a moment, our world is based around the fact that you have to either wake up and live your day in fear of being eaten (alive), or live your day in fear of starving to death. And that's just the "average". I'm not even talking about the sin of being born slightly weaker than your siblings, or be bullied/killed by other animals when you're looking for a mate, or just being born without organs at random.
Some animals have to learn to run mere seconds after being born to avoid getting eaten (again, ALIVE) by hyenas.
Animals in captivity, if well-taken care of, live a lot longer. Of course, that won't stop good ol' mother nature to inflict illnesses such as cancer upon those innocent animals.
Then there's the double standard of humans only caring about animals as long as they're cute. Tough shit for everyone else.
I just can't take people who claim they "love" nature seriously. What's the point of loving something as fucked up as this? Our lives might not be perfect, but at least we don't have to compete for survival when we're toddlers. Or having to give up on life because you broke a bone.
