Hey, the Little Deer Got His Head Out of the Plastic Pumpkin
He managed to get out all by himself.

I don't know why but I always sorry a lot more about the animals than I do about the people. I guess its because there are millions of people in trouble all over the world - its just so huge that I can't get my head around it.

Its not that I don't care. I do. But when I read about the mule wagon that got hit by the semi the first thing I wondered was if the mules were OK.

Just me, I guess.

1. I saw on the news that it got free...
I was happy. For me, I was upset because he got caught in a man-made contraption. A plastic pumpkin.

4. Exactly. So many little creatures killed by plastic stuff.
So many marine animals that die like that.

I'm with you. I think it is awful.

about all the critters getting messed up human plastic trash that don't make it out, you know? Especially sea creatures. Sometimes I think a nasty pandemic that wipes out 80% of the human race is the only thing that can save this earth. on edit: I know it's a sick thought.

3. No - its not sick. Just the truth.
This planet would be a whole lot better off if 3/4 of the people on it disappeared. We are the worst thing that has ever happened to our earth.

5. I hadn't heard about this.
I'm one of those people who worry more about animals than people. Some think that makes me a heartless bitch. It isn't a conscious effort on my part; I tell'em it's just the way I was made.

6. Yea, me too. I've always been this way.
Even when I was just a little kid I always cried over the animals but not the people. Its just the way I'm wired.
