I am so angry and so upset by this I can not think straight. I hope this jerk is found and will somehow go to prison. I heard the FBI is after him which is good. I just hope this waked up the average person about what these people will do to have a trophy on their wall.

Although I'm a vegetarian I can see why people kill for food - and I don't expect everyone to live by my choices - but to kill an animal just so you can say have is pointless savagery.Helen V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07989670682260643429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-62663871696457197692015-07-31T23:31:21.973-04:002015-07-31T23:31:21.973-04:00An excellent poem.
