I swear, the majority of us are not whackjobs.<br /><br />Thing is, I shouldn't have to apologize for the actions of people who are nominally adults. These are people who should fucking KNOW BETTER.<br /><br />Yes, it's sad that the animal died. Yes, it's possible that this could've been avoided had the teenagers had more presence of mind.<br /><br />But it's also possible that the teenagers could've gotten hurt if they hadn't tried to scare the yearling away. Frankly, if it came down to the moose and the kids, I'd rather the kids survived.<br /><br />(And now I'm repeating myself from yesterday.)<br /><br />Zealots, I'll say this one time and one time only: Perspective - it's a good thing.Carol Elainehttp://ordinarygoddess.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-34524435086641521352009-04-28T11:58:00.000-05:002009-04-28T11:58:00.000-05:00Thought you might find this article about PETAs re...Thought you might find this article about PETAs record interesting:<br />http://www.consumerfreedom.com/pressRelease_detail.cfm/release/258<br />-cindyone_big_painnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-28340091541712724072009-04-28T11:48:00.000-05:002009-04-28T11:48:00.000-05:00the stupid, it burns.
You know, I like animals. ...the stupid, it burns. <br /><br />You know, I like animals. A lot. I think kids can be miserable horrible brats when they want to be. And I have seen the cruelty towards pets (notice that it's pets, not "animals") as a precursor to worse crimes and behavioral problems.<br /><br />But you know, it's a moose. Sometimes the Gru gets you. While the kids didn't handle the situation with greta a plumb, I can think of at least a dozen things I haven't handled so well either. And that's after I've been an adult. <br /><br />And then I'm reminded how March of the Penguins was changed around for the US audience. And how much people disliked the end of Marley and Me.
