Human beings can change: (1) a hunter in Central Borneo spent much of his life hunting orangutans for the illegal pet trade. The favorite ploy was killing the mother and taking the infant. One afternoon after successfully shooting a mother, before she died, she crawled away from the tree and laid her baby at his feet. He never hunted again and established a reserve for the animals. (2) A hunter in the Northeast of the U. S. was a yearly deer hunter. One day while he was out hunting he spotted a young doe who had broken through the ice of a pond and she was drowning. It took some time but he rescued her and never hunted again. (3) My father was a sniper in WWII in Europe and prior to that an avid deer hunter. When he came back he never hunted again.
I don’t know about that, snsurone76: considering the environment is one Blue Ocean Event (predicted by Arctic News for 2025) from Catastrophic Climate Collapse, I’d say there are more important things than ball games at the moment.
I took care of my mother from 2015 to 2022 (she had dementia that was worsening). When we still went to the grocery store together, I remember her pulling out her checkbook to pay for groceries. She was 88 then, but everyone would patiently (or impatiently wait). What I wouldn’t give to stand in line with her one more time.
I respond outside the comment. Thanks!
