37/365: Think about this...

"Isn't man an amazing animal? He kills wildlife - birds, kangaroos, deer, all kinds of cats, coyotes, beavers, groundhogs, mice, foxes and dingoes - by the million in order to protect his domestic animals and their feed. Then he kills domestic animals by the billion and eats them. This in turn kills man by the millions, because eating all those animals leads to degenerative - and fatal - health conditions like heart disease, kidney disease, and cancer. So then man tortures and kills millions more animals to look for cures for these diseases. Elsewhere, millions of other human beings are being killed by hunger and malnutrition because food they could eat is being used to fatten domestic animals. Meanwhile, some people are dying of sad laughter at the absurdity of man, who kills so easily and so violently, and once a year, sends out cards praying for Peace on Earth.”

I've met this gentle beast before, in fact watching it grow as I see it every Thursday. Spent about 20 minutes with him/her today. Not sure if it's a boy/girl, or what's to come of things. As tame as it is I feel it's being taken care of as if it were a pet... It appreciates human interaction. I will inquire the next time I see the owners.
