“Survival of the weakest” so, as they say in the article, you also assume that the calf is living happily after that…?

If you think from another angle, the weakest one in that whole incident is the ones which are behind the camera and witnessing the struggle. What is giving us the higher chances of survival, in spite of being the weakest in the food web? The other animals fight with the muscle power and we with our brain. The muscle power has its own limitations and their struggle ends for the day when they have one full meal, can we put limitations for the brain power? What’s the goal of our struggle? Hmm! It’s a never ending chain reaction… when will the struggle end? When can we show that we are the fittest?
