Is this the only way an ecosystem can work- or are there planets out there in the great laboratory of the universe where the critters thrive and evolve without eating one another?

I mean, it's a pretty disgusting carry-on isn't it?

Seems like this is the way it needs to be.
And in regard, even plants take something from the earth they stand upon. Also they compete with each other. It's not like peaceful co-existence.

It's the way this planet is set up, but I'm not convinced it's the only possible configuration.
