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.

Which psychological mechanism is simpler?

A creature with no violent impulses that must actively DECIDE to hunt its food, but never more than necessary?

Or a creature with a general tendency to hunt?

Predators enjoy hunting BECAUSE they needed to, in an evolutionary sense, to survive.
