The stronger subdue the weaker! In the animal kingdom it is a question of survival. But among humans it is part of their selfishness. Great haiku, Tom ! Have a great weekend !

Thank you very much Paul, sadly nature can be cruel and brutal at times, I saw that on a wildlife program and I always think why can't the camera crew do something but then they are not always there . Tom.

Far better fate than a trophy hunter's wall. Expressive Haiku Tom, real life, real drama, no sport. ;) xomo!

Thanks Maureen, At least in nature they sometimes get away not so with a hunter with a high powered rifle. Tom.
