That’s literally life. Unless you’re a plant, you’re killing things to eat.

And if you’re a plant, either you’re eating things that were already killed and/or outright killing other plants for their blood or to take their sunlight. And that’s if you don’t mention carnivorous plants which, ik eat animals

Kinda? I think it’s more accurate to say that the nutrients they need from the soil are from decomposed dead things. Competition for sunlight is a real thing, but I’m not sure if that counts. I suppose it does, since it’s all about survival. Same would go for species that have fights with themselves.
