My Abnormal Views Of The World

Yesterday I read an article on puppy mills and a rescue group trying its best to help those dogs. I was touched and am thankful for the movement to educated people and the efforts to try and stop these horrible places that mass manufacture dogs with no regard to their well being. Anyway this group also rescues other critters not just dogs. They went on to talk about rescuing a goose that was stuck at the edge of a waterway, whose mate was calling to it. They also mentioned a nearby fox that was eyeing the stuck bird. They rescued this bird. Most people think oh what a touching story and great thing they did for that bird. In my odd thinking little brain all I could think was good for the bird, but what did we just do. We just messed up mother natures natural balance to life. In reality the bird would probably been eaten by that fox. That evil fox how dare he eat that poor defenseless bird. But stop and think this is the way it is supposed to be. That is how mother nature designed it. Survival of the fittest. As I finished the story I couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor hungry fox, who now had to expend more energy to find it's next meal, and who knows maybe it had pups back at the den who needed food. Because us humans stepped in to do what our hearts say is right save the poor little critter in need, we may have in fact caused more than one more life distress and hunger. Did we really help?
