If you wanna shoot down birds.. then shoot yours!

Autumn is here and the birds are gone. Only if you live in the countryside like I do you can understand what I mean. How sad.. to wake up in the morning without the birds’ songs.. and just hearing that annoying wind that blows so hard! I think autumn can be considered the saddest season, everything is dying, the trees are without leaves and the sky is grey. The other day I went to the beach because I was craving a bit of sunrays and I wanted to relax and give away my thoughts and worries to my beloved sea. Even the sea sounds blue in autumn.. anyway all these gloomy feelings made me think about how wonderful birds are. It just makes me happy to hear and see birds in the sky and when the robin (my favourite one) comes closer and closer to me to take a little piece of bread.. it fills my heart with joy. All this made me think how horrible is hunting and how awful are those monsters who get a gun in their hands and go hunting.. how can it be fun to wait for an innocent animal who’s passing by and living his life and someone just kills him..? Sport? What kind of sport is that! To all the hunters: if you wanna sport go running and leave the animals free to live. And if you really wanna shoot down birds.. then shoot yours!

Lol!! Your mom's shirt is funny. I know what you mean about hunting. There's a hunting show on TV that I cannot stand even passing by. It makes me angry. The people are so thrilled they actually killed an animal, but is that really even a challenge? It's really sad and I wish it were not legal.

Anyhow, soon enough, the birds will be back to sing for you!

Did you and Perry go away for a few days yet?! :)

I hate hunting as well and unfortunately it is one of the favorite pastimes here.

Plus we get thousands of US and European hunters coming to trophy hunt here. Most are cowards and shoot animals like lions in small enclosures so they have no escape. Its called "canned hunting".

I love all the birds we have here. Especially in winter time because the trees have no leaves and you can see the birds flying about really clearly. We have a lot of woodpeckers and cardinals that I've seen this past week. The shirt is pretty funny!
