I have to admit that I ignorantly smiled at those stories before I fell in love with little dogs about 10 years ago. It's nature meets civilization, and the eagle is certainly doing nothing wrong. I just think there should be a little more sensitivity toward the victim or potential victims -- the animals and the families that love them. |
That's awful! Even before I had little dogs I would have never thought that a dog being killed by a bird was funny! I don't understand people...
