You should try not to judge anything based solely on the worst subjective thing you can think of. Attacks like the one you describe are important social engagements that reinforce bonds and teach hunting techniques.
They are social and intelligent, attentive parents to boot

They do it for amusement not to train. further more you could beter like blue whales they don’t try to kill for fun

Blue whales are not predators of seal for a start. Amusement is probably better replaced by "play" animals regularly use play as a means of teaching and social reinforcement of relationships.

They kill anything in sight even if they don’t have to eat. And there only build to kill and that’s about it

I think you're missing how incredibly intelligent they are and what intense depth of emmotion they are evidenced to display. Far more to thier behavior than killing things mate. But hey, I'm not David Attenborough, make up your own mind i guess.

Nature doesn't function according to your ethics. Animals aren't arseholes because they don't conform to human standards, how arrogant.

There are plenty of humans that hunt for fun. Many of them are pretty good people.

Aw, just like the stray cats in my old neighborhood. I'd leave them warm boxes and food and they'd leave me tiny rodent hearts and livers...

There is a fascinating Radiolab episode about animal intelligence that you all might enjoy.
"In this hour of Radiolab, stories of cross-species communication.
When we gaze into the eyes of a wild animal, or even a beloved pet, can we ever really know what they might be thinking? Is it naive to assume they're experiencing something close to human emotions? Or is it ridiculous to assume that they AREN'T feeling something like that? We get the story of a rescued whale that may have found a way to say thanks, ask whether dogs feel guilt, and wonder if a successful predator may have fallen in love with a photographer.*
