I saw a dead bird, twisted in agony and ripped to pieces.
At first it seems as if there's a lot of unnecessary suffering, especially in nonhuman ecologies.
However, it's Pride. Those who are found unworthy resist their just execution, and therefore it takes longer and hurts a lot more than strictly necessary. They refuse to surrender when they've lost and are justly punished for rebelling against Reality.
Species could evolve to be intelligent and strategic. Instead they choose excruciation, having as many children as possible and finding out which ones they should have had by letting the rest get killed. They could gain the ability to plan, but prefer the ability to pain.
Perhaps we can call the pain unnecessary in some sense, but it's supply and demand, as always. The pain is being demanded. Who are we to interrupt the supply?
