Turn away if squeamish ... I saw a very similar thing on safari. The other attraction of hunting pregnant animals, our guide told us, was that the unborn animals are nutritionally dense. We did not witness the kill, thank goodness (I am squeamish!) but did see the aftermath - which was the lions extracting and eating the fetus first, while the mother was still alive. Nature is cruel.

Then why'd you go on a safari?

Nature isn't cruel. Nature is ambivalent.

Multiple definitions of cruel fit nature, with no reference to willfullness:

3. causing or marked by great pain or distress: a cruel remark; a cruel affliction. 4. rigid; stern; strict; unrelentingly severe.
