There once was a friendly cat that never even saw that coyote as a threat.
There once were sea lions that paid the price for just trying to survive.
There once was a spider that looked like an ant but was really a spider and got squashed. Nothing against ants.
There once was an ant that never even knew that finger was about the crush it.
Were those ants and spiders scared when they were being washed away and drowned?
There once were butterflies that got chopped up by the lawn mower and then seeing the shredded wings of one, and seeing what was left of the other butterfly as it crawled away with one wing dismembered. Almost shredding up tree frogs too.
There once were rats that didn't know they were eating poison and dying a slow painful death.
Breaks my heart.
I wonder if it hurt.
I wonder if there was fear.
I wonder if they thought they were doing something wrong.
