GREAT article Sharon and thank you so much!
I'm with you in that we all have our places here on earth even things that slink long the ground
We do everything we can to protect the wild animals and insects except for flies. We do kill flies.
I did have to kill a raccoon once. It was rabid and so sick with foam coming out of it's mouth. I shot it with a gun and then cried like a baby. It was the first thing I had ever killed in my life with a gun. And last. But I had no choice as Hank wasn't home and I had 3 little ones I couldn't let outside so....... I explained to them what I was going to do and why and even though they were sad, they understood if they got bitten, they would be very sick.
