It's property rights in the animal kingdom -- I killed it, it's mine, and violations of those rights disturb something basic. It's not "injustice" per se, but it is a law of the jungle, and the hyenas "know" it.

Yeah, but who's to say what's right in the animal kingdom? I mean some animals just evolved in the scavenging role so it's not really their fault. It would be like blaming carnivores for eating meat. BTW I still root for the lion, that video rocks quite hard.
