Ahh, nature....... Though I am not botherd be carefull, some people will blow things like this outta proportion. Yeah, give them a warning in the title
Yeah its fine, some people blow things out of proportion with things like this, and act on their "emotional" feelings instead of their "logical" thinking... and that's not meant to insult anyone by any stretch. Its just the truth, some people look at that, and get that instant emotional response instead of looking at it logically, and react that way.
Its not meant to insult anyone either some people just cant handle it, just like they cant watch Africa documentaries with lions, cheetahs, etc killing eating game animals, and its usually the sick or "young" as they are easier to get. They get too emotionally attached to the subject being eaten, which is then followed by something like "o that poor baby :-( " etc. When logically they know the lions need to kill to eat, logically they know all the lions will then in turn wither and die if they don't kill and eat, logically they also know without lions eating pray, the game animals would reproduce to the extent of them killing them self's when their numbers get too large the land cant sustain them all and they them self's begin to starve and die off. But during that 1 specific instance, all "emotional types of people" care about is that one gazelle or what ever it may be, being killed and eaten by the predators.
But to get back to the other subject in this post, YES it is nature. Just because it didn't happen IN the wild or "nature" as some would like to say, doesn't mean its not nature. The chameleon is still acting on NATURAL INSTINCTS, and he is eating the lizard to fulfill his natural desire for nutrition. The smaller lizard is still fulfilling his roll in the food chain (just as 99% of these lizards will be eaten or die from accident in the "wild" before dieing of old age) so him being eaten in a cage is no different from the outcome of if he were wild. Just because you don't like it because it was "in a cage" doesn't mean its not nature any less.
and if you really want to break it down logically to biology, all living things with the exception of (plant photosynthesis, and extreme biology living off of poisonous chemicals) all other living creatures NEED TO CONSUME OTHER LIVING TISSUE TO LIVE. From the smallest bacteria and insects, to the largest massive sharks and whales etc, and everything in between. Something is eating another living creature, killing it for its own benefit and survival. And that doesn't just have to mean killing and eating a bug, reptile, mammal, ect. That includes all plant consumption too, any time a "herbivore" eats a plant, it is sending trillions of living plant cells to their death in a nice large bath of acid, slowly burning all those cells alive, until they die, break open and release their inner nutrients to be absorbed. Nature is not "nice", it has evolved this way over millions and millions of years, it is "mean and nasty" cruel in many ways if only looking at it from an emotional standpoint. Obviously it would be nice if nothing in the world ever needed to eat any other living thing again, if somehow all living things could just sustain them self's off of breathing air, get all their energy from only the sun and the air and would only reproduce enough to replace them self's, unfortunately though, its not the way "nature" works... it came up with the "food chain" and we are all apart of it.
But to appease those who will get upset over this image, a title warning would suffice imo.
. I think it is awful that you joke about it. JMO
