Assuming we share the view that we're all related, of course.  Or in the Lakota language, Mitakuye Oyas'in... all my relations.

Not really lucky: the guy probably sat there for most of the month just to get those images. The amount of hard work - well sitting very still for ages - that goes into wildlife photography is amazing.

Heart-rending ? For prey or predator ? Orca's gotta eat too. After all, seals ain't too fussy about all the fish they kill.

And we as a species didn't get where we are today by refusing a good protein packed lunch on the hoof.
