Christmas Eve

It Christmas Eve morning and I am sitting on the side of the road. I left home before sunrise to meet a Conservation Officer in Campbell County at 8:00 AM. The officer picked up a hawk that someone had kept for a couple of days that was shot, has a broken leg and wing. I am angry at the rescuer – he wanted to keep it as a pet! I am suppose to forgive but my holiday spirit has temporally disappeared. This hawk’s health does not sound good. Three days out from an injury and no food is not a way to treat any animal.
