Wild animal suffering – is it possible to do anything about it? Should we do anything about it? The general principles that inform our concern for animal welfare shouldn’t be arbitrarily limited to animals outside the wild. However, intervention on any serious scale would be ill-advised. The natural order is deeply interconnected, dynamic, and awesomely complex. Drastic action, such as ending predation, would plausibly cause the system to collapse into nonexistence or end in some other irreversible catastrophe. Sadly, natural evil is inextricably built into the biological order.
