@Frenchtoast4574 While you argue that feeling empathy and sorrow is “human nature,” it’s also human nature to choose what we expose ourselves to. If someone is so easily overwhelmed by nature’s brutality, they should have used their brain and anticipated the raw reality of a safari and decided not to show up and subject themselves to it. Real nature isn’t meant to coddle our emotions—it’s meant to remind us that the wild operates by its own brutal rules, leaving no room for sanitized, cushioned experiences and fairytale happily ever afters.
Also, this leopard taking down a wild African dog might seem harsh to some, but by safari standards, it’s actually pretty tame. Wild African dogs eat their own prey alive—it’s a natural, relentless process that’s been honed by evolution over countless generations. Expecting to see some choreographed, animal costume display of nature is ridiculous. If you’re planning to experience a true safari, you need to be prepared for the unfiltered, sometimes gruesome realities of the animal kingdom.
So, if the intensity of nature’s raw display is too much to bear, that’s on you for going on Safari. By choosing to go on a safari, you agree to witness nature as it truly is, with all its brutality and beauty. If you’re going to whine or disrupt the experience because it doesn’t meet your expectations of a “feel-good” nature show, disrupt the filming with your whining, then it’s disrespectful of you not to have stayed home. The wild doesn’t have time to accommodate your delicate sensibilities—it simply is what it is.
