  1. Not allowed to interfere. Nature should be left to take its course. This is the wild, not a zoo.

  2. Not their fault. They just upload what they were sent in from the people who filmed these things.

  3. We literally cannot control what wild animals do. These are wild animals, not pets.

  4. Well, thanks for telling us you don't care about the ecosystem.

  5. Please don't apply human morals onto animals.

  6. This isn’t a zoo.

  7.  @liammcgirr1778  What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't interfere with nature. Things have been like this long before humans first existed, so why should it be any different, now? Also, if we kept helping animals that are sick/injured (excluding those that were injured/made sick be humans), then we'd both be causing a lot of predators to starve, and also causing a lot of damage to the ecosystem by enabling the animals to overpopulate.

  8. Pretty sure the person talking is a guide, which means he knows a LOT more about the animals in Africa than you do.

  9. For what, though?

  10. The hyena is still alive, which proves you wrong.

  11. For those of you talking about the carcass on the ground: read the description.

  12. Trying to survive isn't greedy.
    3
  13. Not sure how watching wild animals following their natural instincts is a valid excuse for being a sadist.

  14. Nothing wrong with observing nature, is there? That's literally the whole point of going on safari: to observe nature. Also: why do you keep wanting the ecosystem to be destroyed? I'm referring to all your comments saying you want predators to be killed off. The fact you say that literally means you WANT the ecosystem to be destroyed.

  15. For no reason other than that you're clueless in regards to how nature works

  16. You realise they may have little ones to feed as well, right?

  17.  @PK-vv6ci  We shouldn't interfere with nature, though. Interfering can sometimes cause more harm than good. For example, if they killed that impala then, they hyenas could start to associate humans with food, which will "encourage" them to go after people as a source of food. This can then lead to the animal being shot. Alternatively, the sound of the gunshot could frighten the hyenas, and make them not want to come to the carcass again.

  18. People who are uneducated about hyenas (and likely also nature in general)
    3
  19. Umm, dude. This is literally nature, they have no control over what the animals do. I highly doubt people who work at the reserves would leave the antelopes to be eaten by the carnivores just so that the guests remain entertained. Not only would that be extremely unethical, but it would also defeat the whole point of reserves in the first place.

  20. Nice to know you have no clue how nature works

  21.  @hamzaajakkaf7523  Just about every scientist disagrees. I mean: how else would animals adapt to their environment, anyway? And what about the fact many species are genetically related (like how whales are related to hippos, or how hyenas are related to mongooses, for example)?
    3
  22. WRONG. Hyenas are very good hunters. In fact, they kill between 50-95% of their own prey. Also, lone hyenas have been seen taking down adult wildebeest. And it is more common for lions to steal from hyenas than it is for hyenas to steal from lions. In case you're wondering where I got my information from: MSU Hyenas Blogspot (the official blog for the MSU Hyena Project in the Massai Mara).

  23. These aren't (invasive) domesticated dogs that have been released into the wild. These dogs are 100% wild, and have been around long before domestic dogs have.
    3
  24. Well, they aren't exactly going to go to the grocery store, now, are they?
    3
  25. Yeah, by their logic nature documentaries shouldn’t exist.
    3
  26.  @iskaykabeya609  Umm, science is based on facts, though. Look at hyenas: they are primarilly hunters rather than scavengers. And you want to know who proved that? That's right: researchers (AKA scientists). You clearly have no idea how nature works, kid.

  27.  @iskaykabeya609 I can confirm you are 100% trolling. Nice try, but it ain't working, I'm afraid.
    3
  28.  @iskaykabeya609  Also, you ain't getting very far arguing with someone who's literally studying biology. All you're proving is that you've never been to school.
    3
  29. This is nature, not evil. Don’t anthropomorphise.
    3
  30.  @dogifish0078  That depends on the farm (and farmer, of course). Some farmers treat their animals quite well.
    3
  31. Ah, so you'd like to f**k up the entire ecosystem? Great idea (not).
    3
  32.  @skystorm569  They aren't allowed to interfere.
    3
  33. To all you people saying you hate hyenas bcause the steal food from other animals: why not just admit that you hate ALL predators? If you say you hate hyenas for stealing from other predators, but then say you like other predators, then you are LYING.
    3
  34. They ARE animals, though. So, you're sick of ALL animals behaving like themselves?
    3
  35. Ummm, most people don't have pet African wild dogs. Also: none of these dogs here are "enslaved".
    3
  36.  @sultrysophist  When people say we shouldn't interfere, I think it's more deliberate interference they're talking about.
    3
  37. Ever heard of nature?
    3
  38. Proof?
    3
  39.  @jaseyrae2731  What isn't true? Thr fact the hyenas are just are trying to survive?
    3
  40. They hunt around 60-95% of the time.
    3
  41. So, fuck up the entire ecosystem and turn the entire Earth into a barren wasteland (while at the same time Speeding up the extinction of our own species)?

  42. Ludvug Blood-axe Actually, hyenas are primarily hunters. (And this was confirmed by both Maasai Mara Hyena Project, and the Ngorongoro Crater Hyena Project). 'Spotted hyenas are skilled and powerful hunters that can kill a wide variety of prey. In the Ngorongoro Crater, their preferred prey are wildebeests and buffalo calves, medium-sized herbivores weighing between 50 and 180 kg. Experienced hyenas can take down prey as large as adult zebras on their own but they usually hunt wildebeests, zebras and buffaloes in groups of 2 to 30.' (Source: Ngorongoro Crater Hyena Project website). 'Spotted hyena have traditionally been thought of as scavengers, and although it is true that they will opportunistically scavenge, according to Smith (2010), they actually kill 60-95% of their food!' (Source: MSU Hyena Project Blog. Post title: Dik-dik Hunt). I suggest Googling the two sources I've used, as both sites also have quite a bit of good information in regards to hyenas. In fact, the creators of both sites know more about hyenas than most of us here.

  43.  @johnreeveswilliamson7228  they’re just trying to survive.
    3
  44. No you're not.
    3
  45. Nope, this is nature. It would happened regardless of whether or not people were there.
    3
  46. I agree, that does seem sad. Obviously, we can't blame the predators for following their natural instincts, but still: the fact that rhinos are endangered, and this one had to be put down is upsetting.
    3
  47. That lioness probably also ate a few wildebeest. Kinda comes with the territory of being a predator.
    3
  48. "people film this crap and set back and watch" That's literally the whole point of going on a safari. Also: do you want the people to arrested for interfering?
    3
  49. They can’t control where wild animals go.

  50.  @kumarrahul1982  Mostly hunters*
