I must say graphic nature shots are a little disturbing, but they are the way nature works. I always feel a bit queasy watching them myself but then I think how else would the predators survive if they didn't kill? Don't we take part in such behavior every time we eat a steak or hamburger or pork chop? I guess only the vegans can feel no guilt, if they even watch such things.
