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?

Well, that's a very good argument for the status quo- but just suppose there were other ways of disposing of dead bodies- suppose, for instance, they broke down much faster than they do under Earth conditions. I just feel this can't be the only way to run an ecology.
