We Are Nature

     It's amazing to me how humans disrespect nature.  I think we tend to forget that we are nature too, so we shouldn't disrespect the beautiful things that nature has to offer.  It's truly amazing how little effort it actually takes to keep our earth clean and make it a better place, yet people still litter and disrespect the environment that provides everything they need to survive.
     I was walking down the path with my dog the other day when I saw the most bizarre and horrible thing: two guys were hunting ducks, right on this walking path occupied with other people.  At the time, I was the only one who saw it, but it just didn't seem right.  I understand that some people enjoy hunting, and I have absolutely no problem with that, but it just doesn't seem right to be hunting ducks in a residential area like my neighborhood.  
     I interpreted the actions of these guys killing the ducks as an intrusion of their sanctuary.  The ducks that live in my neighborhood at this creek have never had to worry about people killing them, so why should it be okay for these guys to show up and change that?  
     Maybe it seems like I'm overreacting about what I saw, but how would you feel if someone came into your home, a place where you thought you were safe, and hurt you or your family?

  1. I also agree hunting ducks is wrong. To me hunting anything doesn't seem right.

  2. It is quite sad how hunting is okay to many people. But I agree with you on how these two strange guys thought they could hunt, when it is a public creek and many people visit it. They don't have the right to do that. Sorry you had to witness it. Great thoughts put into your blog, nice job!

  3. It's not only wrong but is illegal to do so. Humans easily forget that nature's creatures are living things too.

  4. I totally agree with you! Hate how some people can care less about another animal's personal space or area. They just dont think about it because the ducks aren't human, or just like them. It's really heartbreaking to see stuff like that going on.
