lizbud Thanks for posting this article Gini. I'm glad the staff let the
others say goodbye to Babs.

Just because we don'nt share a common language, doesn't
mean other animals don't have deep emotional attachments
to one another. They benefit from ceremony too.

**I agree**
It's so remarkable how animals react to death.
Many people say animals have no feelings & are "JUST ANIMALS". Then explain to me why animals seem to have a lot more feeling than a lot of our human kind does?!
I'll never get the picture out of my head when my parents & I were watching tv about elephants. One of the elephants had been slaughtered for their hide & tusks. The others just crowded around to mourn it, waving their heads back & forth, making these amazing sounds......like crying for us! It was just so, so sad, but heartfelt in the same moment!
