The Dead Bird Conflict




What should we do if we see a baby bird on the ground?

Do we leave it there? Put it into the nearest tree?



what should we do if we see a dead bird on the sidewalk?

Should we just ignore it and walk past it, pretending as if we hadnt seen it? is it our responsibility to just kick it off the sidewalk and into the grass? If it was a human being would we react differenly? What would you do if you were walking and saw this bird on the sidewalk?

wow sean. how amazingly deep. this is truely the ethical delema of our time

hahaha jk sean, but seriously, i think a better question would be, if you see a baby bird on the ground, do you try to save it, or do you leave it there. do you put it in the nearest tree? things like that. because the bird is already dead, its basically asking us if we should leave trash there or dispose of it.

but personally, i think itd be better to find a bush or something and place the bird under it, so it can biodegrade
