Comforting A Dying Rabbit - A Documentary

- čas přidán 25. 10. 2016
- A young wild Cottontail Rabbit died in the Backyard and I was privileged to share its final hours. When one spends a lot of time with wild animals it is hard not to find inspiration in the dignity and stoicism they display in the face of severe injury or death. This rabbit had a one-eyed sibling that is was very close to - they and their family are shown in happier times toward the end of this video. The events shown in this video happened over approximately two hours. These rabbits are relatively rare Appalachian Cottontails and live at near 4000 feet elevation in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.

Deep in the meadow
Under the willow
A bed of grass
A soft green pillow
Madison Stern hunger games reference. I like that. Poor bunny😣
You caught me in the feels ;~;
this hurt me
I'm sobbing >~
Lay down your head
And close your sleepy eyes
And when they open
The sun will rise.
I don't know why I torture myself and watch sad stuff like this.
Reese Plunkett Lets you know you have a heart 🌹
I torture myself too...alot of crying. I watch alot of these videos too.
+Crazy Funny Cats probably the biggest heart if that's what that means. I agree 110%♥♥♥
Well, this one shows the best side of humanity IMO. It is sad in a way, but not so much as when a beloved pet dies. It's all part of nature, and he happened on it and did some good for the little guy in the end.
Reese Plunkett it's okay to cry, but as long as you be happy at the same time.
I found an injured kitten along the side of the road. I turned back to get him. He did not die alone and I held him softly against my neck for his last few minutes. That kind of sadness changes you.
I recently looked after a nestling wild bird for two days. Had no feathers and had closed eyes (cat brought it in) he died in my hand. I did my best for him in his short life. all animals deserve this compassion
sobbing 😭😭😭😭
That poor baby! Thank you bless you!
you're an incredible person for that. i bet it was so hard to watch him die, but you gave him the ability to be comforted in his final moments, and that's important. i've never dealt with an actively dying cat on the road, but there was one that i felt the need to bury that had got hit in front of the place i was at at the time. the body was still warm when i picked it up, and it was heartbreaking
Lol and then you went out and ate a steak.
This is my first time seeing this, 6 years after the upload and I am in tears. Roughly around the time this was uploaded, maybe take a year, when I was 17/18, a friend at school trusted me with a rabbit they couldn't keep anymore, she was the only rabbit I ever had. I named her Lily and I loved her so dearly. One day when I was at school, someone had opened the gate and door leading to my room, and our large dog had gotten around and somehow opened the cage door and chased Lily all around my room. I came home to the gate opened, bedding all over my room, things severely out of place and tipped over. I found Lily hiding in a pile of my clothes in my closet. She was rapidly breathing clearly in shock. She didn't have any marks on her but I knew from the scene the incident stressed her out. I took her to the vet and they said she would turn out okay, and I wanted to stay home so badly but I had to work, so I entrusted my mom to care for her during my short shift until I got home. I came home, my room dark, and Lily was dead. All alone in her cage even though I begged my mom to just hold her and leave the dog outside as it was cool and she could've. I cry every time I think about it because I wanted to be there for her so terribly and she died alone. We buried her in the backyard and I will never forget her.
I'm so sorry your family had no regard for your little fur baby. I've learned over the years to never trust ANYONE with any pet of mine unless they're an avid animal lover like myself. My worst fear has always been some jerk opening my door or bedroom door and my cats getting outside and never coming back. If that ever happen I'd have to be very careful around the culprit who opened said door because I'd go into an absolute rage. On the other hand there is the despair and sadness when the pain is internalized because you were helpless to do anything about it. While that is horrendous to endure, it's the only civilized option quite honestly. And some people use that in order to teach themselves to never allow such a situation ever again. BTW I'm not saying any of that as blame to you - you had no idea. Just relating how I've been through a similar situation and the pain was just too much.
What's worse is then you had to be around that dog still and deal with your mom's callousness (or so I assume). I hope you never had to go through kind of pain again. It's beyond unbearable and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. Although I believe it's a way many of us animal lovers learn that keeping a pet requires much more than just love. You have to ensure it's in a safe and healthy environment where such things can't happen again.
Thank you you for sharing. The world needs more empathetic people like yourself and less of the emotionless ones that simply view animals as things to ignore or abuse.
omg the ytber still active on commenting on this vid@@phyrr2
I'm so sad and sorry for you and Lily. There is nothing probably that can make you feel better but I think the vet was wrong, and that the stress did kill her, just not immediately. Maybe having someone with her would have helped, but maybe not. Rabbits are so delicate in many ways. But I am so sorry for the pain and grief you are experiencing. I wish there was a way to take it away from you. Time DOESN'T heal all wounds, but they do become more bearable.
omg that teared me up.. sorry for the loss.
this broke my heart, im so sorry :(
Tbh I’d rather die peacefully outdoors than in a hospital bed
wizlyBits same dude.
Gamerman629 Hype Squad wrong. In the last days before someone biologically dies a thing called active dying occurs where your body is still alive but you first lose thirst and hunger then sight then hearing and touch and only after that you actually die
And also just look up what flatline means because I think you don’t exactly know what that means and that you meant something else
wizlyBits I’d rather be able to live longer and to be able to tell people goodbye before I die peacefully in a hospital bed from the plug being pulled than not have pain relief and to have my death agonisingly long and drawn out whilst in pain and then have my body be found rotten infested with maggots
8-Bit Zed nigga let people comment peacefully without douches like you ruining the moment Jesus Christ people have to know everything these days.
Hospitals give you medicine so it is not as painful when you die
Me: This world is a cruel place filled with terrible people

Nothing makes me happier than knowing something received love right before it dies. A calming voice or a hand on us in comfort before we pass is an absolute blessing. Dying alone and scared is probably one of the worst things.
If you knew anything about animals you would know most animals go somewhere alone to die in peace and this bunny is one of them and the human is disturbing and making it anxious life aint a disney movie
@@byllynallee9238 i know plenty about animals. I’m well aware. But the man’s intentions were good so go back to your basement. You’re also a re+@&$

Doesn’t matter where you’re from or who you are, it doesn’t hurt to show a little kindness. Even for a wild animal who may already be on its way out. We need a little more of this these days.
You can tell those who have the biggest hearts. Heaven has a special place.
Hope everyone is doing well today.
Absolutely agreed, kindness without expecting anything from it is really missing in a lot of places. Hope your doing well too !
Yes, I do agree with you. The only case I wouldn't if a predator was catching it's prey I'm not going to take it's food from it. There are tons of people who will stop a predator from eating it's meal to save an animal. I don't agree with us messing with nature. The only reason I mention this is, I recently watched a video where someone hit a rather large snake several times for it to stop it from eating it's meal.. Which was a small deer. I know people think of their feelings first, but we shouldn't interfere. That snake deserves it's meal with the effort it put in to capture it. I am passionate about wildlife, but I wouldn't interfere with the natural order.
the Kingdom of GOD is coming…“Silver is for the kettle, and gold for the furnace, but The LORD is the tester of hearts- Bible” your heart is like discovered silver, dirty and not pure, when silver is purified it is melted over and over, to the point that when it’s melted and glows red hot, it is pure enough to see your own reflection in the puddle, so also does the LORD purify your heart, till HE can see HIS own reflection in it, seek the LORD and be reborn, ask The LORD to renew and restore you, repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins, Jesus died so that our sins will be wiped away and so that we could be made new, if would be wise you would be wise for yourself, pick up your cross and deny your flesh and follow the path of GOD, for The Kingdom of GOD is at hand, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME Amen and Amen

Pizzachu22 underrated comment. People’s liking tastes are confusing.
Wow, that hit me hard
That made me cry.
Pizzachu22 this comment reminded me of a really creepy messed up animation with disturbing music that made me cry from the horror
SHUP UP :c

Omg yeah, it's almost 2 am I don't need cry 😢
5am youtube want me to cry lol
I saw this way long ago so ya cant get me again lol
Yeah. Thanks a frickin LOT, CZcams. 😡
I just finished my show, cried, and saw this and cried.
Imagine living your life scared of humans and on your last day you learn that they are not as scary after all.
😭😭
I'm human and think most humans are scary, the rabbit was lucky to encounter a compassionate human which is rare for our species
He likely stressed the rabbit and made it's passing even more uncomfortable. Human's are dumb when it comes to wildlife and assume that animals are just Disney characters that feel love and compassion like we do. My advice is to leave an animal in this condition alone.
Most are very scary.
@@MusicJunkie37it's really not that rare
I met a very old mouse on a bike ride once, his tail was so long. He was obviously not a rat but a very old full grown mouse. I gave him a cheerio and he took it from my finger and worked on it. I left him some trail mix and another cheerio and went on. I’ll never forget that mouse, I was happy to meet it.
I don’t know who this man is, how old is he, or why this was in my reccomended, but i want to marry a man like him one day.
☺ so true
Me too. He's caring enough to comfort dying animals. Why can't everyone else be like him?
It’s pure generous..
@@Exabee Agreed-
@Joey 'The Seed' Diaz 😆🤦♂️
"You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him."
❤
Somewhat but not necessarily. its a nice sentiment.
@BScN Student nah. He's comforting it, or trying to anyway.
@BScN Student what did you want to do to the rabbit kill it makes death more quick most people would have just walked away it's a damn rabbit who gives a damn about a rabbit but he took time out of his day to Comfort this rabbit as it died it's commendable at least
@Ayden Ponce He put it in quotation marks though, that kind of says it isn't his man.
I'm a 35 y/o man who rarely cry, when I do it's usually because of injustice. But mostly for animals and babies, they unlike adult humans have no agenda in this world, they are just pure and innocent and deserve better.
You were so kind to the Rabbit. He felt the safest he felt in his entire short life.
While watching this video, I was wondering what if he just scared the rabbit more? I feel like the best thing would have been to let nature take its course and leave the rabbit alone instead of scaring the crap out of it in its final minutes of its life.?
@@TheeMr72kIm quite sure the rabbit felt at peace. Don’t ruin such a beautiful video with such negativity.
@@TwoShedsJacksonnah he’s right, it’s a wild animal and rabbits are supposed to run from anything bigger than them. Could be that the rabbit gave up but it was probably scared
@@Key-43 Well, you certainly are entitled to your opinion, as am I. Good day.

Archie Morgan yes
To the person who filmed, you’ll someday meet the rabbit again, hopefully not for a while though. I hope the rabbit had as full of a life as possible in the rabbit wild and made many friends along the way. I am inclined to believe that the Rabbit comprehended and appreciated the comfort in some of his final moments. Rest In Peace little one, you’ve touched the hearts of thousands and we wish one of us could have shielded you from your trauma that caused your passing, but you had a caring man to comfort you and I hope that invoked feelings of being cared for by your parent when you were young. These two were meant to meet. Thank Rabbit, for trusting humanity and thank you nice cameraman for comforting our small friend. Farewell, for now. 💛🐰

im dying on the inside. I lost my bunny this morning. I fell asleep watching TV last night. Clyde jumped on the couch with me and tucked himself into my armpit. I woke up and scratched his head gave him a kiss and fell back asleep. he snuggled so close to me it was awesome and he seemed so happy. I rescued Clyde a year ago while I was doing door to door sells. he was being chased by 2 small dogs so I scared them away and touched his head and he seemed tame. I picked a dandelion and waved it in front of him and he graciously accepted it. after munching he put both his front paws on my leg which were Indian style. I knew I made a friend. I must have knocked at least 40 door asking if anyone owned a bunny. to no avail I couldn't find his owner. I decided I was going to call it a day from work and put him in my big carrybag after taking my belongings out. he came him with me and I decided he should go outside. he made himself a burrow under my shed and seemed so happy. he came inside quite often but he loved being outside. over the months he would come running to me everytime he saw me it was so cute to see his gleeful face. he slept in bed with me alot and watch TV with me. sometimes he would sit above me on my couch cushions and nibbled my hair. last night we had our routine cuddle everything was perfect. after I woke up the second time I got up and went to bed. he followed me into the room and hopped onto my bed and tunneled into my blanket like usual. I gave him one more kiss before falling asleep. this morning when I woke up he was on my pillow already ready for food. I filled his food bowl and he ate while I had my cereal. I always let him see out my front door by opening it so he can see out of the storm door. I began getting ready for work had my shower brushed my teeth pick my outfit and combed my hair. while doing my hair I heard a loud screech and freaked out an ran to Clyde like a mother hearing her child scream. he looked completely fine. I went back to getting ready when I heard the scream again rushing to him again to find him perfectly fine. as I finished getting ready for work I propped my back door open so Clyde could make his way outside. this morning I noticed he wasnt going outside. I decided to go get him a put him outside. seeing him by the front door he was on his side he always lays down by the front door where a sunspot is coming through the storm door. as I got near I noticed he didn't react or even look when I called his name. I went to wake him thinking he was sleeping. as I almost picked him up I noticed he was not breathing. I panicked scooping him up in my arms in tears at this point just trying to get him to wake up or something after about 3 minutes I realised he was gone. I still have no idea what happened and im devastated. I want to hold him right now its almost time for bed and I don't know how to go without him. I feel broken. 😢
Lucas Cornelisse I lost my bunny a few weeks ago. One day i went to the living room where his bed was. and i was going to feed him and I noticed we wasnt doing anything so I quickly said Bonnie! and I touched him and he was stiff and not breathing.
I miss him so much its hard to sleep without him
Yeah I used to sleep with ny rabbit too.
My
I'm sorry!
When I was in high school I got a pet rabbit. I was there looking to get gerbils as my old ones had passed away and I was looking for new pets. The store was out but they had this young black rabbit that looked just like the one in this video except for its coloration. I named it Mel and he was my buddy for SOOOO many years. I got him as a pet not knowing much about rabbits. We had a special connection and he ended up living a very good long life. In the end he got lethargic like this rabbit was and we knew his time was coming to an end. We took him to the vet to see if we could do anything and they said it was just old age and it was "her" time. We had been told wrong by the pet store all those years prior and our boy was a girl, so Mel became Melissa on her last day. She passed away peacefully in my arms and I've missed her ever since.

This video makes me realize how life can be so short. I’m afraid of dying and I also want to feel safe and comfort when I die. I’m still young (17) but every now and then I just think about death. It’s something we can’t stop. And I don’t think there is any way of stopping it no matter how good our technology advances. Thank you for comforting the dying bunny. You are a good man and have a kind soul.
I'm not advocating drugs but try doing DMT it is scary as hell but you always come back. that's the lesson
The life we have is borrowed. We didn't give it to ourselves and we can't cling to it, either. All we can do is be careful stewards of it. Eventually, though we will lose it. BUT, all is not lost. The Author of Life can reanimate and resurrect us. History shows He did it Himself which demonstrates that the same can happen to us IF we let Him transform us into people who will be happy living forever in His presence. That's the condition. The natural, fleshly, "normal" life must be surrendered and put to death. We let Him do a heart transplant and choose to let Him place new desires and affections in our minds. If you're willing to do that, you can have assurance that the One, Jesus - promised to humanity from before creation - whose Name is above every other name and who already rose from the dead, WILL raise you as well. When He gives you assurance of that, death won't have the same power to frighten you because it's already been defeated. I pray that you seriously think about this because it's your only hope of getting off of this little ball of rock in space alive, your only hope of eternal life, and your only hope of true existential purpose and significance.
@engle42085 Um...you are advocating drugs and when you surrender your normal conscious experience for something extra, you are granting permission for malevolent interdimensional beings to fill your brain with their "lessons" aka propaganda.
Death is the cherry on top of life mate. Without it life would have much less value. The most important thing is to enjoy your life the best you can without hindering others enjoyment of their’s, no matter how short or long it may be.
@@monboze9572 You're missing something. It's not that you've said nothing true. After all, in the immediate sense death *can* help humans appreciate the life they have. But, in the ultimate sense, it robs their life of all meaning, especially if the universe is destined for heat death. The first reality is lousy comfort for the latter. "The living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing." Ecc. 9:5.
While you have the ability to think, don't use the time to ignore your eventual death. Instead, "Teach me to number my days." Value the life you have now AND protect it against ultimate loss by accepting the guarantee of eternal life through what Jesus has done.

Dying alone is a blessing compared to being eaten alive.
Animals generally seek to die alone. Cats and dogs will go hide away in some corner when they sense their death is imminent.

Guys this is a prime example of someone who wasn’t loved by their parents
This happened to me, too. A few months earlier, my dog got into a rabbit’s nest, but she was luckily not a killer and simply held the baby bunnies. My mom took them inside and put them in a shoe box to rest, hoping that in the morning she could place hay over the nest and put the babies back in until their mother came for them, and that’s what she did. Every now and then, I would get concerned the rabbits weren’t alive or something, and I went outside around midnight and would see the bunnies hopping around my backyard in healthy condition. One even came up to me and licked my finger.
A few months later, I hadn’t seen any sign of them, and I had pretty much forgotten about it, until one day, a teenage rabbit was sitting in my backyard. Just like usual, my dog ran towards it, expecting it would run, but stopped when it didn’t. I was confused and went outside, too, sitting in front of the bunny and even offering it some lettuce, which it chewed on a bit and spat it out. I didn’t know what to do, so I called my mom out, and we put the rabbit in a plastic box with some warm blankets to rest as we drove it to a wildlife rescue center, and unfortunately, it died the second before we got there, but the worker there said it was about the age we found the babies, meaning there was a possibility it was one of the rabbits that came back to the place it was born to die.
Teenage rabbit? 🤔
like, a pre-teen@@smoothoperator7023
Do you know what it died of?
I can assume it was the one my dog picked up, she’s gentle but baby rabbits are fragile and it could have gotten wounded.
I wonder if a cat got ahold of this little guy or possibly a hawk since he had that puncture in his side. Nonetheless, I’m glad he was able to be found by this kind gentleman before any other predators found him. Rest in Peace sweet baby.🩷
That's humanity at it's best ! I'm a man who's not afraid to say I had tears too. Nature is very tough ! I'm glad he showed/gave comfort to a beautiful animal

"The little rabbit's short life had ended" This guy is a true gent, giving comfort to a dying wild animal shows the best human qualities that we can posess
Could have taken it to a vet and tried saving it.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxpff, once they are like this there’s literally no saving them anymore. They’re already dead, my bunny died yesterday the same like this rabbit. The moment they completely stop living (eating, drinking and fearing) is the moment they’re dead. There’s no point in taking the bunny just to take away it’s life between concrete walls full of fear instead of just letting it go in peace. It’s hard but these guys sometimes just die and there’s nothing we can do about that. It’s the same for human patients, once a patient says he’s gonna die doctors take that very seriously cause most of the times the patient actually will die especially if there’s no panic in their voice or any emotions left. They’re imply dead and I don’t think there’s a vet in the world who could help that guy. After all in most cases once symptoms of any sort of illness arrive there’s not much you can do except help the body but since the body is already shutting down there’s no use. You can see it in their eyes that they’re dead
This brought a tear to my eye. Rabbits are my favourite animal and pet. I’d never hunt, kill or eat one. Thanks for talking to him and not letting him die alone.

Rabbits life must be full of fear. Many things trying to hunt you and hurt you. And there not a lot of room for love and compassion when surviving in nature. I’m glad this little rabbit was able to not feel alone when slipping away to scary ”unknown”. Ty for helping this animal❤

@@juanit0tackit0tackito2All talk, but no real evidence or arguments presented... just the same drivel.
I know this man was trying to give comfort to a dying animal but there is a good chance that interacting with a wild animal as it is dying is just stressing it out since it is unable to flee as it normally would like most wild animals.
@@Cobalt135 yeah, that’s possible. But wild animals get docile once they know for sure that something isn’t a threat. I imagine that if the man wanted to hurt the rabbit, it would’ve done so from the start. Don’t know if the rabbit was smart enough to realize that though.
Animals can sense good people
After sitting next to my mum's bed and watching her slowly fade away, it made me realise what a privilege life is. That doesn't mean to say life's easy, or to suggest we should all chase our dreams etc - it's just that all life is special. We cling to this planet, living amongst millions of other living things all trying to get by. It was so warming see your true spirit. You're a good man.
You’re just a good person. There is simply nothing else to say.

Thank you for showing this little guy such compassion. Your a lovely man and the fact that you made him comfortable with the towels shows what a gentile person you are. I would have done the same.
This is my first time seeing this and to watch this poor Fur baby just sitting there and letting this man comfort him and Tend to him in his final moments is just so beautiful and kind . Blessings 🙏🙏🙏🙏🐰
It’s sad how this bunny couldn’t live to tell all the others bunnies that some humans aren’t harmful.
Actually some bunnies know that humans aren't harmful to , like some birds and squirrels.
No there are so many stupid kids who hurt
way more humans are harmful
They should be scared of us, there are some assholes out there who abuse animals, it‘s good how it is
But people hunt them, so sadly that could end badly 💔
That rabbit mustve felt like he was being taken care of by some magic giant guardian angel sent by his rabbit family who have passed before him. It was literally a magical mysterious moment for him because he was being comforted by one of the many things he has feared his entire life.
I really hope so
Rabbits don’t have the capacity for that kind of thought. Only us humans do
Blessings this is a beautiful comment.

I'm glad you took care of the rabbit today bless you
Thank you for showing kindness to this bunny . A few months ago a young die and her fawn came to our land in a group of many. The mom was badly injured by a bear trap and had lost a back foot. The game commission wouldn’t intervene, unless she would be so lethargic and we want to get her killed. We didn’t want this. We’ve been told she could survive maybe and that’s best for her baby. I started feeding her. First I left food at their spot but threw it, so I didn’t need to get close. She was afraid but ate the food. I fed her and gave her fresh water. The other deers sometimes went away for a day or two but always came back to her and her baby. She nursed her baby and it’s so much bigger now. She now gets food from me directly and even nurses next to me. During a storm last week, they came under our porch, for shelter. Her injury is healed . Of course she’s missing a foot and she’s slower but she does get around way faster than I ever hoped. She runs again, even if a bit slower but she keeps up at her best ability. She doesn’t leave our property. I hope she and her herd will stay because I fear for her during the hunting season. We think about building a run in shed for them at the other end of our property,close to the woods. It is such a special experience, to get to know a wild animal. I hope that I would be able to comfort a dying animal as well, if it comes to it.
What an interesting story. Thanks for sharing. BB
You should document her progression. Hope she lives a full life
Thank you, you are amazing. Although what kind of sick fucks put up traps for bears...
@@Riververchi we’re not sure but it was around her foot, at least part of the claws. There are always bear m9ms and babies in the spring on our lot coming from the woods. We should search The Whole area for traps, so no other animal or person gets injured. The people who we bought our house from literally trashed the woods around it with all kinds of stuff, bed frames ,metal etc., maybe they set the trap. It was definitely old and rusty.
My bunny died few days ago. He was 11 years old, he died in my hands, I was hugging and kissing him in my bed. He couldnt move but he looks like he want's to be alone. So I taked him to his cage, I turned all the lights in the room off and just placed my hand on his shaking body and said he will be ok. Than he died. I miss him so so much.
♥️
I am sorry for your loss. I have a bunny to and I am dreading the day when she will have to leave. I cant imagine how hard it must be for you. My greatest condolences to you.

Wild animals are more likely to be stressed when approached when injured. You can tell when he jumped under the bush that he wanted to hide. Wild animals are not pets

We had a neighborhood cat that got poisoned and me and other kids stayed with her while she was dying. It took a very long time, and i feel terrible that we couldn't do something for her. Seeing her get weaker and weaker. I remember bursting out crying when she finally passed. We buried her and gave her a little funeral. You're very kind for doing that for the rabbit.

thank you for taking care of him. i work in hospice, many people don’t even have family that are this gentle in their final moments. you gave him the comfort he needed. if there is a heaven, he is waiting there for you.
Realizing how rare it is for humans to pass with such love and empathy and how even more rare it is for animals just showcases how luckily that little rabbit was. He had a guardian angel 💕
Is it really that rare? Remember that these are just the moments that we see, there could be a lot more people out there that do things like this, you just never know because we aren’t seeing that. Do you really believe that a lot of humans aren’t kind or empathetic?
It’s not that rare actually. You’re just too focused on negatives. I work at a restaurant and interact with people all the time and they show kindness. Strangers start conversations with me and tell beautiful stories and don’t hesitate to help me out.
@@YourPainting1 keep hoping and wishing and stay sad miserable b*tch.

In the end the rabbit learned for the time that he was alive that not all humans are bad, not all of them want to hurt you. man, Im tearing up now this was so wholesome.
They feared us their whole life just for one guy to come to them and comfort them while they pass, truely an angel on earth.
At least he didn't die alone.
he was the only one who died so tecnically he did

Maybe they’re just sick and don’t have the energy to hop around everywhere.
@@rainbowrandolph9 you never know
It’s sad
And let’s say when you have terrible stomach ache do you jump around with people and do socialising or lay in bed not moving in agony? They’re probably exhausted and in pain and that’s the reason for them to try to find a shelter and not to move too much. They’re just suffering

When I was 13 I sneaked out of my house late at night to walk around the neighborhood. I came across a bird laying on the sidewalk. It was dying. I sat with it. I put my finger to its claws, and it held onto me as it died, and then it let go. It was a special moment I have never told anyone about. This reminds me of that. It's very sad.
Damn I was the guy who shot the bird, goodlooks in finding it. I was really hoping on cooking it in my new cast iron furnace.

Respect to you big guy, for taking the time out of your life to try and comfort the little guy. ❤
That rabbit must have felt more comfort in the end than in all the years since it left its mother's side.
To feel not on high alert, to be warm and soft and cozy.
Doubtless if it had survived it would have become extremely attached to this man.
It could just have figured the man was a giant vulture that was just hanging around for the inevitable meal.
