Nature of the Beast
This Cow is always surprised at what an insular life it is possible to lead, these days.
We mostly don't grow our own food, catch it, or cook it, instead relying almost exclusively on "processed by somebody else" food.
We are wrapped in cotton wool blankets protecting us from seeing death. When you read historical accounts, people were dropping like flies, bodies were being stacked like cord wood even during the Pandemic of 1918. Now professionals deal with it all, tucked away, out of sight.
Except of course, for animal death. Where are the ambulances, resuscitation equipment, and wrongful death lawsuits when meadow homes are turned into roads or houses, leaving the former inhabitants no choice but a fatal dash onto a road?
Save the Bunnies!
Moo!

When I ride my bike I see a lot of deer dead by the side of the road. When they try to run on paved roads their feet slip, and they can't evade the speeding cars. Don't pave the planet!
I agree!! I think I am going to start an animal 911 service. Do you think I could get some state health funds??
*henh*
Animals are the one "messy" party that civilization can never change. Building more just takes away their habitat, and they'll be underfoot (or under tire) as a consequence. So very sad!
[sigh]
Gosh. Cow is sad for Mr. Galbi's bike rides. Poor deer.
Christy, maybe we can write a grant!
Sandi, too true.
Alas.
Moo!
Speaking as a janitor, tired of cleanup after road accidents.
Peeps should slow down.
Animals should have rights to their homes.
Earth should be allowed to be...earth.
Cleanup on human ambition, stat!
