The more we see the nightly news on TV, at least here in the Mideast, the more normal the killing seems. <br />Such as us will never understand such things, sigh . . .Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75161187001580513.post-61231144594446894402012-03-08T11:28:32.444+00:002012-03-08T11:28:32.444+00:00@Kay: And you know what?

I honestly think they need urgent psychologic help!<br /><br />@Joan: Millions of animals are killed to feed humans. Isn't that enough??? Shooting endangered animals in captivity so you can have a head and a pair of horns hanging on your living room wall is totally sick and it really shows the nature of some of us!
