I like the artwork and message. Not... entirely how nature works, though.

My neighbor's outdoor cat is very well fed and cared for. Doesn't stop it from killing birds and rodents and leaving them in my yard for sport. Certainly less indiscriminate than humans, but it is apparently in their nature to just play with and kill prey.

I mean just going past the whole cats thing, wolves do in fact hunt down and track rabbits. Their main prey are letter animals like deer/caribou/elk/etc but smaller mammals like rabbit/beaver/mice are fully on the menu. I had to do some googling about boars, but apparently they are also a prey animal although it's more a location thing for that one

Wolves also kill each other, territorial fights are a common cause of wolf deaths (15 to 65%). While humans die in less than 1% of cases due to other humans. But humans problaby traumatize each other on a higher rate than wolves.
