Wild Animal Suffering

As animal rights activists, we should be focusing on helping all animals, not just the ones that are abused by humans.

No doubt, animals in the wild do experience their share of suffering, but in order for it to be considered as a cause of concern for animal rights activists in this point in time, it has to be demonstrated to be significant enough to dedicate the respective amount of resources towards it.

Some many point to animals like tadpoles and other non-mammals being killed in mass quantities, but these examples tend to be on the lower end of sentience, meaning their deaths don't automatically add up to the high levels of suffering experienced by animals on factory farms. It's sort of like how carnists will all of a sudden pretend to care about the animals killed in crop harvesting, convienently ignoring that it's mainly killing animals of little sentience (insects) and that far more animals are killed in the harvesting of crops for livestock, as well as the clearing of land for the farms and grazing.
