A tale that will sadden and anger many and rightly so.  It hardly warrants comment how some  prove again and again human brutality .

Toms mention of the communal spirit of Ospreys' reminded me of a good news nature story about one species caring for another. Here is a link .

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.
