They kill, consume...their hunger is endless.
We, Humans, are just like that too.

And I think it's worth thinking about how our society manages to inflict this suffering on animals, even though most people would refuse to inflict suffering on other beings if you asked them.
I'm going to catch lots of flak for this opinion here, but you're absolutely right and it's why I'm ok with deer hunters (NOT TROPHY HUNTERS!).
Cause a deer meeting its end with a bullet or arrow is so much quicker than getting too old to outrun a bear, coyotes, or mountain lion. Mountain lions especially are known for leaving them alive but paralyzed for their kittens.
I couldn't kill bambi's mom personally but I don't have a problem with others doing it ethically. But anyone that brags about a whatever number point buck can fuck right off though.
