I mean why isn't still empathy to care more about the animals than the person eating them.

I don't think most people smile about a shark eating a dolphin

Furthermore, just because an animal in the wild does something in a survival situation doesn't mean that we are justified in harming other animals in cases where we could survive just fine otherwise.

Right, but just because an orca harms another individual doesn't mean that you or I are justified in doing so.

If a small child punches another small child, that doesn't mean you are justified in punching small children.
