When Kya witnesses a group of turkeys murdering one of their own, what she sees is the harsh reality of life in the natural world, where survival takes precedent over all else. Because the injured turkey ultimately puts the others in danger, it is in the flock’s best interest to kill it. Of course, this is a rather devastating thing to observe, which is why Kya tries to save the injured turkey before it’s too late. However, the turkey is already too injured to survive by the time she gets to it, so this experience becomes something of a lesson that there is very little room for emotion or even mercy when it comes to matters of survival in the natural world.
