I have been on safari in Africa several times and have seen live lion kills. I do not know why that would change any of my beliefs as to what type of conduct humans should engae in and what standard we should be held to.
Moreover, I would posit that the lives of these prey animals in the wild, while not easy by any measure, is far better than the captive animals in today's factory farms.
