I think he committed suicide.

That was funny.

In the Spring, while out in the country on my bicycle, pounding out my milage, I often see red eared sliders and even snapping turtles in the middle of the road. Since, I see so much road kill, this is one opportunity I can save some poor, innocent creature.

I always stop, get off my bike, pick them up and put them down of the side they were heading for, well off the road.

Of course, since I've been a hunter and fisherman all my life, the plus Karma points are still heavily out weighed by the negative...

Do thousands of birds of various species, ducks, geese, doves, etc., fish, and a smaller number of large herbivores, omnivores and miscellaneous smaller critters, ok, squirrel, count against me in the Karma consideration - I bagged and ate them.

Yes, of course they do.

Thing is, I'm a lot more compassionate regarding wildlife, but haven't become a vegan.

And, I never will.

Meat tastes too good.

Hey ! You might want to check these cameleons out , wanted to get my daughter one a while back until I found out what they cost and the requirments for their tank .

Since when is "falling down hill" equate to "leaping?"

Matter of prospective , lol .
