On my second run for the day - around the pond in my neighbor - I ran past a dead goose. Any hurt or dead animal distresses me but especially geese and other waterfowl as they mate for life and their mate will often be found circling or standing over their lost mate. Very sad to see. Yet it's also a reminder of why every life is so sacred - animals mourn just as we do - maybe more so as they do not have the means to see past their loss. If an animal is capable of this depth of emotion, if they display loyalty, empathy and pain - can they ever be merely food?
It's something to think about.
Peace,
Eric
