Clever Bird had such high hopes that this blooming awful pandemic that is affecting the whole world would make humans open their eyes, and just be better humans. Well that was a stupid hope wasn't it Baggees? Freda Fretter is seriously struggling with what's going on in the USA and the UK. All of the weeks of lockdown seem to have meant nothing to many people. Sadly Covid-19 is still going nowhere, so even though England is attempting to come out of lockdown, strict social distancing measures remain in force. Not that anyone would think that, while watching news coverage of the protests, and riots, and beach parties and travel on public transport. But it's the total lack of care and respect for the planet that has Clever Bird stumped!
All the positive videos of animals enjoying cities, and baby turtles charging across the beach to clear seawater, seem to have been forgotten already. As Furry Mama walks along the beach once again, it's not just the plastic that's been washed up onto the beach that needs picking up, it's the abandoned food containers, the broken and dumped sun umbrellas, the used BBQ trays, the broken plastic buckets and spades, the full plastic carrier bags of rubbish that someone couldn't be bothered carrying home, the takeaway coffee containers, the ice lolly sticks, even used nappies! Why?
Elsewhere there's the deliberately started heath and forest fires, and the standing stones that have been in situ for millennia that have been moved to make a BBQ hearth, people stealing dogs and horses, swans being kicked and shot, police horses having flares aimed at them or being punched in the nose, police dogs being strangled, and so much more. Clever Bird despairs of it all, and wonders what is needed to make some people realise that humans have no more right to live on this earth than any other creature does, be they a furry critter, or another human...
