This fascinating being could have lived at a sanctuary or zoo, or heck he could even have come lived here. Why did they have to kill him? He most likely started out as some irresponsible person's pet....he should not have had his life taken. I am constantly shocked at mankind's arrogance. We throw away the spark of life as though it is garbage. Most days I feel ashamed to be human and feel far more kinship with my pets. I cannot make sense out of human behavior....I just don't get it.
And for the record I am highly aware of the habitat issues they discuss in the article. This is the reason I have Rain. I took her in out of the 50 degree pond some nasty teenagers threw her into to likely save her life but also to protect the lives of others who lived in that pond. The habitat concerns involved do not justify taking this beings life. Its not ok. Its sick. And its considered normal among humans. There are better solutions than killing every inconvenient life humanity encounters.
