1507 – 1534 hours
Driving from West Linn to Willamette University Salem, OR, USA
75 degrees, clear
Driving home today from West Linn I was shocked by a sight that I never wanted to see. A dead deer was strewn about the middle of the highway. After yesterday’s journal entry this experience really hit me hard. I wanted so badly to get out of my car and at least make an effort to move the deer to the side of the road, but I couldn’t help but tell myself that I lacked the physical ability to do that. In my company, I’m sure everyone driving could find at least 1 reason to not help get out of their car and move the deer. I no longer want to be one of the people, standing aside and not doing anything. I want to help animals live peacefully among humans. The way the majority of humanity has created a relationship with animals is not ok.
