Day 14: Shot A Monkey

More than 80% of all monkeys rescued by the Monkey Helpline have pellets in their bodies. Many wild birds, dogs and cats are also shot by pellet guns. The pellets do not kill the animal immediately, the wounds get infected and the lead from the pellets slowly poison the animal.

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing a society to exist that accepts and allows the shooting, hurting, maiming, and abuse of animals for amusement.
