Instinct to kill is in all of us

As many of you know, someone confessed to killing the skunk that was found murdered outside of Lorise a couple of weeks ago. Before he wrote the article, I was still a appalled over the incident, but I realized when reading it that the humor far outweighed any sense of anger or confusion over the death of a skunk or the moral dilemma therein. So Zachary Gidwitz, though I think you did not actually kill the skunk, I applaud your attempt at lightening an absurd situation. In upstanding “Jewish” form, you have made light of something terrible, so as to protect the psyche from any nasty consequences.

I don’t condone violence to animals at all, and in fact it makes me very upset, as you could maybe tell from my last Wespeak about this. But, people are stupid, and sometimes do cruel things. Though they should be brought up on charges, or perhaps flayed, they mostly won’t be. If you did anything Zachary, it was to show that it just may be in all of us to murder. Though this is terrible, and though I hope we can all rise above any base desires to kill innocuous creatures that infringe upon “happy time,” it seems it’s only out of kindness of heart that people won’t do these things.

Of course, some people are angry, insensitive, and idiotic, and I hope their minds will change. As for Caesar, I’m glad that son-of-a-bitch kitten is dead and rotting in the ground, and that the weasel had a good laugh about it later.

Skunks baby. Though an evil creature. Skunks.
