Wildlife Photos: An astonishing and sorrowful image!

“Igor Altuna” captured one of the most sorrowful wildlife photos! A photo that became the “National Geographic” Photo of the Year!
A mother leopard hunting a mother monkey to feed its cubs!
The leopard cubs practiced hunting with the monkey cubs, and then they tore apart and ate the monkey cubs!
Such ruthless behavior is the secret of survival in nature.
While this instinctual cruelty might be understandable for survival in the wild, such predatory behavior among humans is not based on instinct or individual need.
Instead, it’s driven by the accumulation of capital, profit, and the preservation of private ownership and uncontested authority, utilizing the most deadly modern weapons that claim thousands of lives in one strike while presenting it as natural.
In other words, the most sorrowful chapter of human life began when communal ownership collapsed, and with the emergence of private ownership, humanity was led into captivity.
Greed, indulgence, avarice, predation, and systematic slaughter have been the outcomes of this shift in human affairs.
