5. I am sorry. What a traumatizing sight...

While I am an admirer of those big beautiful cats, I can certainly appreciate how horrible this can be when they go after small livestock that had to have been almost pets for a small operation like yours.

If there is a heaven for dogs and cats, then may there be one for sheep, goats, cows, horses, and (separate, of course) all our beloved wildlife.

I'm so sorry NT Rorey Oct 2021 #1
