Every life is precious to me, and I wish everyone went out of their way to treat animals better.

The mother was just walking her baby, and wham - gone. just like that - that's aweful, and I would have reacted the same way you did Jess. It would have tore me up the whole day. So sad. Poor baby duck, and poor Mommy for loosing her baby.Mendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968363500551483010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-16665278638085748452007-08-30T23:18:00.000-05:002007-08-30T23:18:00.000-05:00Oh, shit; now I am tearing up. And you had to add ...Oh, shit; now I am tearing up. And you had to add Macbeth; that quote has such power (although I have never agreed with Macbeth's assessment of this thing called life).<BR/><BR/>It's awful -- any time a living creature dies, I think it's terrible (OK, I don't think it's terrible when I smash a huge NYC cockroach). I am a firm believer in the power of nature. Eastern religious philosophies make so much sense to me -- so I think it'd be unusual or even abnormal for a human to NOT be sad or disturbed after witnessing the death of another living creature.brunettechicagogalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466542861234541345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-32227785312962064552007-08-30T09:36:00.000-05:002007-08-30T09:36:00.000-05:00You know...it may just be the situation that I hav...You know...it may just be the situation that I have been placed in...but I really don't look at it as being senseless. There is a reason for everything that happens, even the completely horrible things, and these reasons are just not meant for us to understand at this time.<BR/><BR/>Sorry you had to watch though. Maybe that was the point - it was meant to invoke compassion in you???Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501994313918529337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-35233992474692287032007-08-29T21:35:00.000-05:002007-08-29T21:35:00.000-05:00Oh my, Jess!
