Strange happening

Animals are neither "good" or "bad" in the ethical sense. They just fulfill a niche in nature, a tiny cog in the great machine. Lots of animals eat their prey alive, I once saw a vid of a bald eagle eating a coot, the coot was still alive while the eagle plucked it (birds of prey don't like feathers apparently) and started tearing its guts out. The coot didn't finally expire until the eagle ripped out its gizzard and gulped that down. Right after the gizzard part of lunch a juvenile eagle swooped in and stole the coot. Its a hard knocks life in the wild. A clean humane kill as a matter of principle is the sole domain of the only animal that can have "ethics" or a "conciense;" human beings.

The problem is: how would you feel if it happen to one of your beloved pets?

sad, but that is nature and a risk


neighbor that lost a few chickens, one he found out got ate by another neighbors dog,

he commented that the dog would be wise to not cross the property line,


chickens did what chickens do,
dog did what dogs do,

the pile of feathers I mentioned was likely from a hawk, owl, or similar,

our neighbors cat snatched a baby bunny last summer,
I got it away, placed it (it was still frozen) in the woods and an hour later I found the head in the grass, the cat went back, found it, and had a meal

Morality is a Human conceit.
Animals don't have it.
HONGRY > Catch, Kill, Eat, maybe not in that exact order.
This is "Nature".
I found a pile of feathers a few days back in my yard.
Something died, something else ate, its alive.
Nature is not "bambi".

There's a term: animal politics. There's no revenge or meanness intended.

My point was to be aware of things when your pet is outdoors. If your pet is an outside pet they may need extra shelter. Being in the yard while your pet is out and "doing his business" could prevent an attack by a predator. I was very watchful over mine.
