The viral video of last week’s graphic shark attack/feast upon a down-and-out dolphin offered a reality check on nature’s methodologies, which can become as savage as slashing, serrated-edge sharks’ teeth. The feed (not an attack, per se) took place in Long Beach Township last Thursday.

Upon pondering this display of nature savagely baring its teeth, I recalled a song line from “Nature’s Way,” a 1970 hippie song by Spirit. The line goes “It’s nature’s way of telling you something’s wrong.”

That line fits nicely since there was surely something wrong with the dolphin in this bloody shoreline massacre.
