Do you ever see wild animals?
This question makes me want to scream either way.
I love wild animals. They fascinate me. I respect them and wish humanity was enormously less selfish. Just going round wiping things out by destroying their habitats and the weather. Shooting them to add a trophy to your wall. Sickening, vile, pathetic, and any other word you can think of that means it was a pity those idiots were ever born.
I understand that when you live with wild animals there may be safety concerns in a village for example, that’s different because it won’t be done for fun.
On the other hand, if I saw a wild animal in the wild I’d probably freak, maybe if it stayed put I could see myself still there two hours later absolutely riveted. But if it came towards me that would be a new land-speed record! I know you’re not supposed to run but you get the idea.
When I see them in zoos I know they’re part of breeding programmes now and also we’re helping to make sure their species survives, but that makes me want to run even when they’re sitting still. It’s so wrong even when the reasons nowadays are sadly right.
Safari parks are better, but in the snow? In the wrong country? Not running so fast or screaming so loudly, but ready to bawl humanity out for our utter and complete disregard for everything but the one species that destroys everything.
Us!
Bless those working so hard to put this right.
