suicidal ideation and animal cruelty

“what did you do!?”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKTXy2rwI

i threw the rifle on the ground

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFRbyxtEK4

“You could have killed her in one shot”

he moaned

“now she’s in pain”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7msFmvEw

i was trying to save her.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bs9ObvoZB

“we’re going to have to find her” said uncle seth

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9cJb7avbg

we went looking around

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4X8Bz9nO8

i found her in the wandering willie

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXbJgdbEQH

while uncle seth was still looking

somewhere else

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLvst0rj5c

i didn’t call him over

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hqYpiXO9y

i just looked the doe in the eye

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsyfFeOxl

on the dirt, bleeding

she wasn’t going to recover from what we’d done to her

and when i looked into the eye

i could see from where i was standing

i saw a feeling i recognised

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9siDU5qJ4

maybe it was just me

trying too hard to relate to the animal

maybe i wanted her to be me

when she wasn’t

there was no way i could see someone’s emotion

just by looking at their eyes

but that didn’t stop me from thinking

that doe was me.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJDIwgl56m

and if she was me

but someone else

what should i do?

i was the one with the gun

she was the one without

what would i want me to do in this situation?

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERwX6VFGOC

the eye looked back at me

quivering

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQX7nirkyg

and i shot her.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GwfqD8a0D

through the eye

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQfiwZlMXJ

into the brain

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJWGfPc2Rs

and she stopped quivering

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbXtdOhdqx

uncle seth looked over at me

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMYGwHWQI8

“oh, you found her,

“good job!”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbZMYJIiC8

now that the eye was gone

i didn’t need to look into it

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzoz7KHxQI

the bullet didn’t come out the other side

so it was still buried somewhere in her brain

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTE8yY1966

“next time, leave the face alone”

uncle seth told me

“it’s okay this time, because you didn’t know

“but i usually don’t damage the face when i hunt pretty animals

“because then i can get it taxidermied”

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEWyuwNPks

i didn’t mind taxidermy myself

(some vegans do)

but all i wanted to do that day was destroy my mirror

people would say that brings bad luck

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmd4cd0ASz

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjeP1QNCmy

the doe’s other eye was unscratched

when i saw it i flinched

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7MDkgOIdG

i’d never properly looked at

dead

before

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi1P839lsk

and i saw than that pandora and i weren’t dead at all.

179Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cb1miLnp1

this doe was.
