Animals Urban Safari: Three Dead Animals During My Walk to Work
Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Mar 1, 2013 at 1:03 PM
There might be more death out there, but I encountered two squirrels (one just dead and soggy; the other very dead and wasted), and a crow under a tree (no more noise out of you). I also saw a great bird of some kind circling above the Jose Rizal Bridge. It was looking and looking and looking for the right movement, the right size of life, the right moment to strike and kill.

Chuck, instead of striking a tedious philosopher's pose about your fascination with dead squirrels, why don't you be more civic-minded and bag them up to drop off at the nearest Taco del Mar, like I do.

Charles, have you considered that your walks are somehow responsible for the dead animals? that maybe if only you flew, drove or biked, these animals might be alive? if the beating of a butterfly and all that, then the draft created by the walking of a Mudede could be the cause of such death among the small creatures. Take responsibility, work no longer. Stay home and ponder all the death you didn't cause by walking to work.

You fixate on the deaths of those three chordates while entirely overlooking the demise of literally thousands upon thousands of nematodes, annelids, arthropods, and other assorted "invertebrates". Ours isn't the only phylum of animals, you know.
