Here, a cimolodont multituberculate (possibly Ectypodus musculus) is eating purported competitor, a rodent. There is evidence that some multituberculates had omnivorous habits and could scavenge, so it makes sense that they could tackle other mammals; a SVP 2016 abstract even claims that there were some mainly carnivorous species.
Obviously, this is karmic irony. Rodents are suspected to have outcompeted multituberculates at least in North America, so seeing a cimolodont eating a rodent is a brief, spiteful jab.
Animals don't make choices/have concepts of right-wrong, per se, so I'm unsure karma applies to them (and, yes, I noted your use of 'irony', so my words aren't a criticism).
Even so, I like prehistoric creatures; they are uncommon art subjects, additionally.
Nice work. :)

Multituberculates are more ancient than any of the extant orders of mammals, or the ones that vanished in the oligocene. They also had to cope with dinosaurs.
