As I watched the birds on the feeder in my yard at present, I used to be struck by the thought that wars like these in Ukraine and Gaza kill not solely hundreds of individuals of all ages, but in addition the animals that had been raised to assist to feed these folks.
Horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens and companion animals equivalent to canines and cats are gone. And never solely domesticated animals, however all wildlife – birds of prey, songbirds, waterfowl, bears, wolves, foxes, rodents, frogs, snakes and bugs are additionally killed. The flora that gives houses and meals for people and animals and bugs, these are additionally destroyed and might be misplaced for many years and maybe centuries.
We should pay attention to the large loss that comes with the usage of at present’s weapons.
