Description

Sorry I know the photo's are not very good at all I thought about this for days but thier screams & crise,& Scruffies screams of pain,of whatching her babbies being sluttered, have been hautting me again I tried so hard to find them,but that I couldn't find them anywhere ,I called "Scraffy WHERE ARE YOU!" the man across the rivien was at 1st shot them so they couldn't get away then 1 by 1 pulled them out,took the blade of a shovel to 5 babbies raccoons as Scrufy & Lonesome her last baby SREAMED, it sounded like the cries that would come from you or me, at seeing your babbies die in such an awfull way it's been years since that awfull day it still haunt me, the cries ring just as loud as they did the day it happened so I had to write this for them it helped the cries quite alittle & the nightmares of hearing them die that way,I know they are with Scruffy but it still hurts I couldn't help Them and once in awhile that brings it all back sorry if I upset you,in away it's so he didn't win, that they will never just dissappear as he tried so hard to make them do Why Must I Die Why must I die? Can you tell me why? I was but two munths old You heard my mother's cries of pain & sorrow My cries of anguished terror fell upon deafened ears My cries to my freinds ever hunting, Never Ednding Can you tell me why I must die? Bringing joy to young & old Bringing Laughter and hope when all was gone I brought sunshine when all was grey So tell me why What did I do to deserve to die? I'll tell you why I must die I have a mask and a banded tail My crime wasthat I lived Yet was I not one of God's creature's? He gave me Life, And you take it away you tell him he's worng ** Dedicated to five baby raccoons that died** So horribly at the hands of MAN! By Tina Johnston-Wilson

Geeze there has to be a law against what that man did! Very sad story Tina. Sorry to hear that one of our fellow beings had a hand in this, not that he is human at all, what comes around goes around, remember that. That will come back and bite him the assets one day.

Sooo sorry, Elaine and I have had similer experences. No wonder we like animals better than people. Don't know if I told you, we took in a rescue Irish Wolfhound that was left for two years at the house when her owners went to Texas. She stayed at the house and went to meet every car that came towards the house thinking it might be her owners. It cost over $1100.00 to get her back in shape but worth every cent. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. I wish that I could have her former owners out behind the garage for about five minutes.

I loathe the needless killing of animals. It was some time ago, you say - yet it still haunts the memory. At least you've remembered them and that's a blessing in itself. Mike
