Sorry, but this is anthropomorphic misty eyed nonsense, it carries an assumption that the act of killing
and consuming must be inherently bad because I've decided it is, and so needs some sort of post evolutionary
justification for it to be acceptable. Carnivores, and Omnivores eat meat because it's the fastest way to gain
complex nutrients, but because of their efficiency in so doing, they sacrifice the luxury of numbers,
and so, with the exception of man, remain minorities.
A pride of lions will make one large kill of a wildebeest, then feed on it and not need to hunt again for some
time, the wildebeest have been fashioned and conditioned to realise this and will amble past lions, knowing they won't
be attacked.
Evolution is not stupid.
Suffering is inherently bad, yes. It is bad regardless of your/anyone's opinion. To recognize the inherent waste and brutality in nature, that it has been going on for an estimated 300,000,000 years with no grand purpose, well then sorry, I think any rational person would label that 'stupid' A stupid system with too much loss for too little gain.
