Sometimes I think I'm the only one who has a hard time seeing that! It's so common that it seems like people don't even pay attention. It's awful to see something on the side of the road, and even worse when it's in the road and people continue to drive over it.

Anyway, I always have thought PETA was on the crazy side. I still have to say that I'm glad those animals didn't have to die violent deaths, but I think there should have been a way to not have to euthanize them. I don't think that was morally right.

I get your point but I can't help but disapprove of recreational fishing. And why is it that people always seem to think that mammals are more important than fish? I hate that.

I'm amazed at how people think themselves to be so much more important than animals. People are animals.
