O Sole Meow

   Animals do not have souls.  They do not.  Yet a woman risks her life, and causes others to respond to save her, in a vain attempt to save a doomed deer.  The media has become preoccupied with animal welfare stories.  A noted TV personality kisses animals he's just met and lavishes terms of endearment upon them.  On a  recent road trip, we  narrowly avoided a major pile-up when a self-styled animal rescuer stopped her vehicle on the thruway to administer to a raccoon that had been hit by a car.  There should be a distinction between condemnation of animal abuse  and the adulation of animals.
