William Beebe on one of many reasons it’s wrong to kill any animal

    Any truly Christ-like person will have no trouble agreeing with William Beebe’s words:

And the next time you raise your gun to needlessly take a feathered life, think of the marvelous little engine which your lead will stifle forever; lower your weapon and look into the clear bright eyes of the bird whose body equals yours in physical perfection, and whose tiny brain can generate a sympathy, a love for its mate, which in sincerity and unselfishness suffers little when compared with human affection. (Quoted from William Beebe’s 1906 book The Bird: Its Form and Function.)
