To those of you who've commented on "Begging for Forgiveness from the Animal's Ghost", -I can see Pros and Cons to that. Feel a Respect / Reverence toward the Animal, Yes, -But Forgiveness Begging is not Neccessarily so Neccessary!
Animals themselves of course routinely kill other Animals. As Neccessary, -and with let's say an "Unspoken and Understood Respect".
Even an Animal Grazing on Grass, -is doing so towards another Life Form! (and you Vegetarians as well!)
Does the Bear beg Forgiveness from the Salmon's Spirit or Ghost?!
No, -it just kills and Eats, -as it Honestly does find Neccessary, -for it's Livlihood and Survival!
And we too, provided we're so doing, -and as part of the Total Web of Nature and Life, -Shouldn't Feel any Guiltier!
That said, and on the other hand, -with our being Higher, Spiritual and Intelligent Beings, -who know at least some things Better, -Perhaps something can be further said, -for "Begging Forgiveness from the Animal's Ghost".
But again, -in many Respects, -I don't feel that going that Far, -may be really Neccessary!
Real Respect and Regard for the Animal, -Yes! "Forgiveness Begging"?, -Not Neccessarily So, -and perhaps a No! [color:"black"] [/color] [email]brian[/email]
