EVERYBODY stops for the ducks and geese when mama and babies are crossing. No one even complains if it's during "rush hours".

As are so many of the other creatures who share our planet.
I 'll never, ever understand the wanton murders of them.

I get a lump in my throat just watching them...and so many, many other critters.
It's criminal what we're doing to them and their habitats. Not to mention ours.

I'm always so relieved at the end of these things.
