I'll say that everything I'm posting is my opinion and everyone is entitled to their own, without judgement . This whole story makes me sad. I am going to take a different perspective from most and say….i don't blame him or fault him for the decision. There are people who have animals and there are animal people. The former will never understand the latter fully. It just sucks all the way around and like everything, hindsight is 20/20. Personally, I totally get the love of animals. We do rescues…dogs, horses, pigs, if we have room at the ranch, we do what we can. We get abused rescue dogs and within days of getting them, my face is in theirs. Do the wrong thing and they'll bite. It's happened numerous times. You have to understand it. We have a rescue horse that was abused and after months of work, he calmed and I rode him for a while without issue and one day he threw me into a mesquite and cactus and hauled ass. I knew he could but I had success and we seemed to get on fine so…complacency. We had some Kuni Kuni pigs we raised from tiny babies. They were awesome. As they got older, no matter how much we loved them and cared for them, they'd walk by and bite your damn leg for no good reason. Then they wandered. They wandered a mile away to a neighbors deer feeder…and let me tell you about pigs with spots eating at a feeder with A neighbor who hunts pigs. They got shot…and eaten. Why'd they wander? We fed them! But they did and that's what they do and that's all there is to it. The neighbor told us they looked like feral pigs and we were just glad they got eaten and not wasted but it is what it is.
They are animals. Wild animals are even worse but I get where this guys heart was and I get how he feels being "betrayed". We, as humans, have an entire gamut of emotion and animals, just don't. We can reason things out. We feel bad and guilty. We place our emotions on the animals we love. we personify them as if they were human. I agree that animals pay back ten fold but they also have triggers that their love cannot overcome. I liken it to charging an animal in a corner vs me being charged in a corner by a bad guy. I have the ability to process a million things at once to determine if I should kill him. An animal doesn't. It processes a few things but a decision is made rapidly and without hesitation.
I feel bad for the guy. I'm glad he survived. I'm sad it happened. I'm sad he had to kill his friend. I'm sorry his folks had to go through it. I'm just sad and sorry to hear the whole thing. Terrible situation.
