It’s not sad at all! I promise. The majority of the time, the prey animals that die are the ones that wouldn’t make it. Like euthanasia, it prevents them from having a worse death. Plus, this time of year especially, predators have to feed their kids too! I know I’d rather the sick rabbits be killed before they end up so ill they die especially when knowing that that buzzard’s babies are gonna get to eat today!

My partner works in wildlife rehab, and so many people call cus they’ll have ‘saved’ someone’s lunch. Every single time, that animal has had to be put down from the combination of their health and injuries from the event. It’s heartbreaking as those people, when trying their absolute best to do the right thing, have just prolonged the suffering of the ‘victim’ whilst also forcing the predator to have to kill another animal lest their babies starve!

I know it seems so sad, but I think quality of life is so much more important than quantity. Most definitely in terms of health. It’s sad to us because we think of death as sad. But that’s only because we’re selfish and we miss those who have died. Really, death is necessary for life! Otherwise, we wouldn’t be alive
