Both animal rights groups and animal welfare groups use "compassion" frequently. Compassion" has been so diluted that most people don't bat an eyelash at the idea of " compassionate carnivores."

Choosing the right pet for your child is key. By Dr. Tim Hunt, DVM. Children can learn so many valuable lessons by caring for a pet. Having pets at a young age instills kids with a sense of confidence that they can take care of an animal and help it to live a thriving life. More importantly I find pets can be great therapy for kids.

There are many more factors than I imagined: compass errors, wind drift, overshooting, extreme weather and irruptions, natural dispersal, and human-driven vagrancy.

They may have no idea what they’re doing, but their compassion overrides their doubt. We love the public because there are good Samaritans who will find an injured or orphaned wild creature and go out of their way – sometimes way, way out of their way – to help. And sometimes they even give us money, which elevates them to sainthood.

Some hummingbirds get off course–perhaps a young bird is hatched with an odd internal compass or has hit a window one too many times and heads east or north instead of south with the rest of the gang and you get odd ducks showing up in unexpected areas.
