We've all established the fact that a pelican eating a pigeon is pretty odd.
Some of us would have liked the pigeon rescued,and some say the poor pelican
may have starved.While I wouldn't want that,I still feel awful for the poor
pigeon having to suffer for twenty minutes.It's like those nature programs we watch;the lioness must hunt to feed her cubs,yet we still can't help but feel sorry for the gazelle.
So-here's my story.Tell me what you think:
A beautiful family of hawks moved into our neighborhood last spring.
We also have cute little squirrels we love to feed and watch scampering
around the place. The other day while driving down my block,a squirrel
ran in front of my car at the exact moment a hawk swooped down to
catch it.The little thing was frozen in fear and I swear looked right at me.
I stopped my car, honked the horn which frightened away the hawk,and
the squirrel ran and tried to get inside my car! It did make it to safety,
and I was glad of that, yet I felt a litttle sorry for the hawk.
My daughter mentioned that we don't have as many squirrels
in our neighborhood as we used to.
What would you do in this case?Should the hawks be allowed
to hunt the neighborhood squirrels until there are no more?Should we let
Nature take its course?Should the hawks be removed? Was it wrong of me to help the squirrel?
