Lions
Apparently it's now wrong for lions to eat meat - we should train them not to be so cruel.
Indeed. Also, it's wrong for galaxies to engulf other galaxies. Stars get thrown all out of whack, planets that might be teeming with life get thrown out into the interstellar void, untold destruction and chaos. Nature should stop following natural laws and start obeying 21st century politically correct conventions.
But if suffering is bad for animals when we cause it, it is also bad for them when other animals cause it. That suffering is bad for those who experience it is not a human prejudice; nor is an effort to prevent wild animals from suffering a moralistic attempt to police the behavior of other animals.
