However, I don't like to watch it in progress because I don't like to confront the kind of violence it involves. On a social level, it seems to me that the world of humans is unnecessarily violent without the excuse of the laws of nature. Some seem to have become de-sensitized to violence. It disturbs me to see riots and flash mobs because they are being nasty because they can, not because they need to hunt for food as a hawk does. Hawks are beautiful creatures, but not when they eat.R.

And hard as it may be to see a lovely rabbit or young bird get caught up by a bird of prey, that is indeed the way of nature. Hawks have to eat too.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this peek into your day.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
