Livewire lash and steel sabotage

[WayUpHigh]

Ok I have a creature equipped with livewire lash attacking and I play unnatural predation targeting my attacking creature...my opponent responds with steel sabotage to return livewire lash to my hand...am I still able to do the two damage from livewire lash since unnatural predation is targeting it still?

It will still deal the two damage. The creature has the ability "when targeted deals 2 damage" upon triggering, the trigger goes on the stack, so it doesn't matter if the creature loses the ability upon resolution
