I know what you mean. There's a Planet Earth video I show my students. In one scene, they're cheering for the seals to get away from the sharks; in the next, the sea lions are the "bad guys" as they try to eat penguins.
I do, too, drP! Though I must say I feel sorry for the prey, too, when I see a raptor have success.
I love a happy ending.
