If life is about blood, how can the fox's activities be described as murder?

In evolutionary terms it's pretty weird finding a really neat place full of chickens... just standing there! Foxes haven't adapted to this. They kill because that makes sense in a natural environment. Once the killing is done they're not able to eat what's left as they would do in a woodland scenario.

Pikes don't 'manage' fish. They kill them to eat them.

Indeed. This is rather obvious.

Being in touch with life and death doesn't necessitate revelling in the latter.
