Here's a pelican eating a helpless pigeon at a public park.
The shoe is on the other foot for this pelican that landed in the water during a Shamu show at Sea World with many families in attendance. Note how the star whale doesn't just chomp the bird and swallow it whole, but instead proceeds to rip it apart with the help of his friends and leave a trail of blood in the water as he swims around.
This cow proves her loyalty to Chick-Fil-A by living up to the company motto.
McDonald's restaurants are always clean and sanitary thanks to this cat that takes care of their rat problems.
One of the monster bugs from Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong has its way with a very squeaky mouse.
Polar bears are the fiercest killers in the animal kingdom according to producer Jon Peters. I'm sure this baby seal doesn't doubt it.
Polar Bear vs. Walrus, goo goo gajoob. Oh yes, there will be blood. (I think Trashy posted this video on here some time ago, but here it is again.)
Last but not least, a little baby faces off with a king cobra. Despite the snake's constant frilled display of warning and its own attempts to back off, this baby won't let the snake go anywhere without a fight.
The cobra obliges.

Well, Benjamin I think you win the award for most unpleasant videos ever shown on the Fortress of Solitude.
That baby one is just unbelievable. Where the FUCK are the parents?! I know the snake is obviously de-venomised but jeez.. the snake must have been out of its mind with fright.
Gotta admit, I didn't watch some of them. Pelican eating pigeon I could handle, whale eating pelican fine (especially with the sappy Disney music playing in the background as 200 childs dreams are shattered), but cow eating baby chick?! Cat eating rat?! A mouse being eaten?! A seal being eaten?!
The Curmudgeon has suddenly turned very green.

Wuss. That killer whale was Shamu, no? I've seen that orca perform. Seems like a dick. He killed one of his trainers a long time ago. The music made that video hilarious. And the birthday celebration heard in the background of the cat one was a riot. I can't believe somebody sat for 4 minutes taping that. The kitty even licked up the blood, man. That was one fucked up cow, though. I saw a documentary where a polar bear killed a fucking narwhal. That's a small whale, people! Those things are badass.

I've no problems with Mother Nature doing what she does but I got a BIG problem with this sick bitch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=24pG4hwwi3EI know sometimes certain animals need to be culled for the future good of the herd and whatever - I don't know if that's the case here - but this gobshite is getting FAR too much pleasure... The killing of a wild animal has got this shrill shrieker moist in her dacks.. Yeuchhh and double.

Yuch, I hate anything involving animals getting hurt. Not exactly fitting in with the "Irresponsible Hate Monger Super Villain" schtick I know, but.. hey. I didn't even click on that last link.
What's funny is, if it were a link to HUMANS getting hurt, I would click on it no problem at all. How weird is that?

Good point, C. This is one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies.
I remember the first time I saw it I freaked the hell out when I thought he was going to kill the cat and then let out a massive sigh when he shot an innocent woman instead. Absolute genius. It shows the way that animals have been re-deified in modern society while our empathy for our fellow humans goes out the window.
I've no problem with people who hunt for food and sport, but that Garrison bitch is scary. Watch the vid, Curmudgeon, she laughs like the Joker after everything she says and none of it is even a little funny. Who could watch that garbage? Tracking and hunting an elusive and plentiful animal like a male deer is rewarding in that it is usually a massive challenge and most stores don't sell venison. Driving a jeep up to a river full of giant hippos who don't run even when you start shooting them down is not sport and I doubt that retard is going to eat it either. That is just being a sick moronic redneck bitch.

Sport hunting has never been something that's appealed to me personally, but I'm not opposed to the act itself or people doing it. Here in North Carolina, it's downright necessary to keep the deer population under control, lest we have them darting out in front of cars all the damn time and piling up as roadkill. But what the cunt in that video is doing is anything but sport hunting. Shooting hippos like that is just unnecessary; there's no point being accomplished for human society or for nature.
My feelings toward animals probably don't make a whole lot of sense. I am an animal lover; I love interacting with them, be it with pets or in the wild or even in a petting zoo, and I never show them anything but kindness. When I find a spider in my room, I'll take it outside. I'll only crush a mosquito if it's biting me, simply because it's asking for it. On the other hand, I love meat, I have no opposition to it and I absolutely would not ever become an exclusive vegetarian. Humans are omnivores with just as much of a predilection toward eating meat as plants and I think it's silly to deny those instincts out of misguided morals. If you just don't like eating meat, fine, whatever, but don't act like it's an abomination for people to indulge in something they're designed for. Animals kill each other for food in nature all the time, and we humans are animals ourselves, like it or not.
All that being said, I don't know why I enjoy watching animals kill and eat other animals as much as I do. I don't like watching people shoot turkeys or watching lions maul men to death, and I certainly don't like seeing animals pitted against each other out of some twisted sense of cruel sport (I'm looking at YOU, Michael Vick). But watching animals rip into each other out of natural instinct just fascinates me.
Check out these two crocodiles catching a gazelle and then playing wishbone with the carcass.
Two cheetahs eat their fill after taking down a zebra. Once they're gone, just about every vulture in the continent of Africa moves in on the kill.
A venus flytrap chomps up an insect and then gets the opportunity to be ambitious when a frog treads where it doesn't belong.
An ox moves into the neighborhood on an African safari. The local tigers waste no time before making friends.
Pigeons really do seem to be on the bottom of the food chain among birds.
This owl doesn't care how young the chick is.
Komodo dragons are never ones to shy away from swallowing their prey whole.
Check out this rapid-speed video showing how a colony of ants embrace a dead gecko. They don't let anything go to waste.
And finally, a man feeding pigeons in a public square is suddenly attacked by one of the more vicious and overgrown buggers.

You are putting on a clinic, Haines! I've seen dozens like these, but my mind goes blank when I try to find one to post, but here you go. prepare to be amazed!
Thought sharks were top of the food chain, didn'tcha?
I once saw a great white chomp down another big shark in brutal fashion in a doc. Broke the sucker in two. Can't find a vid, though.
