Isn't this the Law of Life

Although I am not a fan of London's short stories, I found the "the Law of Life" the most interesting to me.  The character of the old moose that fought against the wolves, I think, could arguably be the hero of the story. After witnessing the process and the aftermath of the wolves circling and killing the moose, he was able to understand what the moose was going through. He understood the animalistic instinct to fight back for its life, even though all movements were futile. Like the moose, he was old and been separated from the herd, leaving him by himself in the wilderness, leaving everything up to nature. The moose fighting back was much like his fleeting efforts to save himself from impending doom of teh circling wolves and the feeling of the wet nose on his arm, grabbing the most natural weapon a log on fire for protection. He tires till he realizes that fighting back is pointless, because his outcome is as hopeful as the outcome of the moose, who is now nothing by grey bones against dried blood on the cold hard snow.
