Hi there! I just saw a buzzard drop onto a rat with great force before carrying it off. The large rat was clearly struggling a lot. Can anyone tell me how the buzzards actually kill their prey? I had thought it was instantaneous death (as I believe it is with owls etc)! Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

Sadly nature can be very harsh, and quite often harsh, which may explain the blood thirstiness in humans.
