An Animal Does Not Know Right From Wrong
Author: siggyAn animal does not know right from wrong–certainly not evil; a cat will chase down chipmunks and birds and mice. They are just programed to do that. A dog will automatically chase a squirrel or rabbit very seldom catching one.
My wife was yelling and screaming. The dogs caught a squirrel that they trapped in my bird feed chest. To make it worst, it was a squirrel we called “stubby”. I was blamed for it for I was told to leave the food chest open so this would not happen.
A squirrel or some other animal gnawed a hole in the chest so they could enter from the outside. I felt bad for the squirrel. Our golden retriever and her two pups were blamed (and me) for its death.
I felt bad about the whole thing. All I could do in the future was leave the chest open or possibly move it to the garage.
