	annote = {Is nature cruelThe authors aim was to challenge with some facts the view extending from Darwinism that regards the natural world as an endless cruel struggle For this he collected over 66 reports in the latter part of the 19th century by or about people who had survived an attack by a large predator The great majority of the victims were convinced both during and often several hours after the attack that they experienced neither fear nor pain Some fell into a kind of paralysis with fear others had felt completely normal and had observed the event fully alert and even with interest From these reports and his own observations of animals in the wild the author concludes that as a rule even the animals that predators prey on experience little or no fear and pain and that in the natural world there is almost no cruel way of dying}
