Death By Predation
Nature isn't Disney
No wild animals die of old age
They die of hunger, exposure, illness
Parasitism, injury and predation
The first five manners of death
All lead to death by predation
As the animal becomes too weak
To defend itself
Predation means
They are torn asunder
While conscious and aware
Of what is happening.
Compared to their fate
The hunter's shot is quick and merciful
Given good game chances
Every animal taken by a hunter
Is one that avoids the horror
Of being eaten alive after
Suffering immense hardship.
