Define Isolated?
Aug. 21st, 2010 08:44 amThere are so many problems with this story, it's hard to count them all. The angle taken by the reporter, and then the story itself is pretty fucked up.
(Does Brazil have a statute of limitations regarding genocide?)
but what finally stuck with me, was the impulse felt by those who would 'rescue' this guy. Like when I found a baby crow that couldn't fly, fallen out of its nest. I wanted to take it inside and 'nurse it back to health' and play the good guy. Except the article I found on the internet about the care and feeding of these birds? it convinced me that this was not a pet, it was a wild animal and best left alone.
Human beings are feral creatures, quite dangerous and best left alone. Unless you think you're in the same social grouping, in which case we're quite happily domesticated animals and quite unlikely to murder you in your sleep.
Yeah, this article makes me cranky and depressed all at the same time. You're welcome.
