I know we have to maintain a balance in Nature; believe me I understand the whole theory around it...I just can't take watching one animal devouring another.

Over-population is generally controlled so the ecosystem can survive for we humans who may well be the worst threat to our Earth's survival. <br /><br />Yes!

That's why I never watch the nature channel. I know it's survival of the best of the species and without it the world would be overrun with critters.

I have seen a couple of nature documentaries featuring the birth of these turtles and the waiting predators.
