There are, but that isn’t the question. The question is are you the top of the food chain where you live? Also, how much competition is there for local resources. Alaska has many creatures that will eat you, they don’t exist some places. Then you get to local, is there good enough weather and soil that all can have plenty? Think of parking in a big city, it’s insufficient, and therefore one must fight to get it, expending resources.

No... I responded to your statement that message it sound like Alaska is some strange place where there everything has to kill to survive. Everything has to kill to survive everywhere. That is the nature of life.
Well, you should try it. I enjoy Alaska, but it’s not an easy life. You spend more time dealing with subsistence and survival and have less time for other activities. In places where abundance is the norm, and the weather is moderate, very little time is spent on subsisting and surviving. You can use the remainder of that time to better yourself, your family, or just dance to weird music with others while drunk for many hours a day.
It’s worth an extended visit tho, Alaska is beautiful and has less of the day to day rules that seem to encumber those in the lower 49.
Rarely does my livestock try to kill me, and they never win. In Alaska there are many creatures that can be above you in the food chain. Yes, we all kill to survive, but we do not all fight to survive.
