language of death?

Question

I've played Gabriel Knight - The Beast Within and in there some wolf researcher talks about something called the language of death. The thing is, predators don't choose their pray on the basis of their health etc. Sometimes they catch a diseased animal but let it go and sometimes a seemingly healthy animal strays from the others to let itself caught. The predator and prey comminucate in a sort of language of death, the prey telling them if they want to go or not. The domesticated animals don't learn this language and so the wolves start killing and they don't stop. It seems a bit far fetched but is there any truth in this?

Answer 1

That question has a spiritual root, predators choose prey because they want to eat it, they sometimes let diseased prey go for the same reasons we don't want to eat diseased or contaminated meat. They don't evaluate with a miscroscope but the animal just smells wrong or icky.
I believe that all life shares a connection and that to some extent, this is true and is seen is how the prey animal fights the attack, some resign themselves to death and some fight and get away.
