nature is a horror

Monday at a Dutch zoo, as onlookers watched in various shades of fascination and terror, sloth bears killed a monkey [warning: slightly squeam-inducing photo].
Visitors reported that the grisly scene began as several bears chased the monkey, a macaque, onto a wooden structure at Beekse Bergen Safari Park.

They said a bear tried unsuccessfully to shake the monkey loose, ignoring attempts by keepers to distract it. The bear then climbed up and grabbed the monkey, mauling it to death and bringing it to its concrete den, where three bears ate it.
Maybe Cobain was channeling Kurtz channeling Thomas Hobbes.
