The early bird catches the.....no.......

Amazing the dramas that play out amongst us every day in the natural world, whether or not we notice them!

Paul once saw a shrew kill a baby albino garter snake on our lawn in Newton - the white flash of "ribbon' caught his eye in time to see the shrew drag it underground with itself.

I had a friend a few years back that was vegan. She thought it was cruel to eat poor, innocent animals and that man was the most heartless hunter of all. I showed her some youtube videos of just how "cruel" animals can be when they are hungry and "lunch" happens to cross their path. I told her I respected her being vegan if she was doing it for health reasons (which kinda make sense to me), but if she was vegan because she thought humans were "cruel" for killing animals, she had lost me. I invited her out for a burger after that. She declined.

i told this story before....

My dad and I were watching some animal show where a pride of lions had taken down a animal for a meal.

I made a comment like, "Ugh, why didn't the group that was filming do something......"

Pops said something like, "Hey, they have to eat too......."

Point made and point taken!

I have found a few young birds and squirrels on my front yard Richard.
I have the feeling that Ebony Beau Two and Terrance Jeffrey are experienced hunters , even though there is really noo need, and the little bodies are not eaten.
They have a part in Our Awesome Eternal Angel Companions too in Paradise.
