They only hunt for survival, so it isn't polarizing for them. Their bodies are designed that way: notice the sharp fangs. They don't really have a choice; apparently the Logos designed them that way, to provide a way for the weak and injured animals to conveniently exit their bodies, rather than dying a slow, prolonged death. In the wild, carnivores hunt and kill the weakest of the herd. (In contrast to human hunters who go after the strongest buck with the largest rack, for their trophies.) So, like carrion birds and ants, they provide a service in the balance of Nature. Indigenous peoples, traditionally, also hunted the weakest of the herds...the ones left behind, old or injured, and for survival only.
We live on a very heavily veiled planet. I wonder if that has anything to do with why the Logos decided to design such a system. I also wonder how different Nature is on other planets.
Incidentally, Lighthead, you might find this interesting. It really challenged what I thought about my cats and dogs.
