victim vs.prey

I have tried to halt the carnage with a bell. Well that has helped curb her insatiable appetite by halting her affectiveness, it has not stopped the carnage of the very young and innocent. The newly birthed, unaware of the horrors stalking the yard, fall easy to prey when Ruby is out in the yard. It's sad really. The one on the left was rendered paralysed yet still conscious of her desire to 'play'. A little heart ponding away as I observed the trauma and documented it. I paused, pondered what I should do to end the little life. Do I just cut off the oxygen? Do I look for some sort of noxious substance to snuff out the little life? Or do I do what my Grandmother does on the farm and leave them in an open field as hawk food?

I can't believe I let that cat sleep on my bed sometimes.

Really.
