don't feed the animals!!

This story is unbelievable. Click the title of the post above and make sure you check out all the pics of the cute leopard. If you don't read the article, basically a malnourished leopard got into his home and tried to eat his cat in his bed with his small daughter in bed with him too. He calmly subdued the weak animal for 20 minutes while the authorities arrived. There is only 10 leopards from what I know that live in Israel in the wild. They don't get enough to eat so they get desperate and jump through windows. Trust me, they don't want to do this. Ok why the hell do I think is so damn interesting? There must be some kind of symmetry you would hope for otherwise I'm not just wasting my time, I'm wasting yours; my small audience.

Last week I brought on a near attack or whatever from a young squirrel. The squirrels in my apartment complex are pretty domesticated. They live among us, eat our garbage, scurry when we walk by, watch us from the tree tops.... But the young ones are brazen. They have no fear of us. I'm not sure if people have been feeding them or not but I know I haven't.

Well last week I saw a couple youngsters playing. I made that little clicking noise people make...eeerrrr I make when I see animals. Well he looked up as expected but he came running at me! He followed me all the way up the stairs up to my apartment as I ran up. He almost got into my apartment!! What the hell is going on. It's ok to feed the animals in the park occasionally.

But here's my problem. People don't know about moths. Their cocoons are actually more beautiful than butterflies. They're woven from silk. So if I saw a cocoon I could cut a little slit and the moth could get out and live. But if I did that, chances are it wouldn't be strong enough to survive in the wild. You can do what you can to help but sometimes people/animals aren't supposed to get our help for a reason.
