THE HUNT Couplet Ferocious cunning carnivores hunt helpless harmless herbivores Slaughter of prey with tooth, paw, claw: Cruel brutal ruthless Nature’s Law Wild beast being ready to attack direct, Tail and skin-hairs stand upright erect. Odor of predator spreads to relay news reaching olfactory cells of prey. Instantly starts rigorous race of life and death. God knows prey will flee or take last breath. Taking in grip the predator makes no haste. It roars howls frightens the prey at best. The victim shivers and turns almost half dead. The fierce kills the timid mercilessly at the end. 10/30/16 THE HUNT Contest Question Tanka The hunt, the killing So ruthless law of Nature. Injustice around Does it show mercy of God ? Question claims recognition. 11/20/i6 Take The Dagger From My Heart Please- 3 Contest

It is called "survival of the fittest" which refers to natural selection and the theory of evolution. It is real! As far as animals killing animals, it is not done with malice only humans kill with malice.

Sure. Cent percent true. Human kills human with malice and is condemned. Theory of Evolution n Survival of the fittest by Charles Darwin. Natural Selection allows no place for God. Merciless killing in world of animals.

Killing is primary instinct for survival. That should not be.

Hi Anisha, in case your question wasn't rhetorical, there was no killing in the original creation. This only came in when satan deceived Eve and then Adam to rebel against God. The consequences of the rebellion gave satan free reign to his wickedness on this earth. Even humans were made to love God and each other and not hate and kill and compete with each other.

Basic instinct of living beings for survival is 'killing'. This is Nature's Law which I cannot accept.
