A red tailed hawk is a bird of prey. It captures in its talons mice, voles, rabbits. Sometimes feasts on larger already dead animals. So…is Horus planning on eating meat or will this red tailed hawk begin a more plant based diet? Lol. You can’t make this stuff up!!!

How about a dose of if not several days of treatment reality... in the mid 90’s we had a family of four long term guests who’s 10 year old son decided he was a dog, well past several days and well past the adults in the room exasperated patience. The adults, unanimously agreed to “reality treatment.” Fortunate it was mild weather, we dusted out a outdoor dog house, padded it with clean blankets, the 10 year old was ecstatic, really played the happy dog over the top... until dinner, we serve his favorite, pizza. And locked the door. We put dog kibble in his bowl next to a bowl of water outside his new digs. He “barked” at the back door and below the dining area window where he observed us all enjoying our pizza, then he ran from front door to back, barked and whined, and later as if to show he was perfectly ok with his choices, he got inside the dog house.... until we’ll past dark. The home was gated and for the “kiddog” sleeping out in a tent was a summertime favorite. He attempted howling at the moon a few times, but the night went off fairly uneventful. Morning... planned in detail, his favorite chocolate chip pancakes. Kudos to the parents who held firm. Barking and whining turned into crying and screaming as we were serving his older sister his fav pancakes, again readily visible through the dining area window. Both patents exited through the back door near his new digs. I’m sure sis made ample ha ha ha faces... then the parents picked up the kibble bowl, and stated stoically... you are a dog, this is dog food... put the dish back down and abruptly turned their backs walking back inside and locked the door. As you can guess barking and running around the house while barking, growling and whining eventually simmered down to his sitting quietly on the back entry steps. The parents took it a step further several hours after lunch lecturing how dogs must have a bath and dried before coming in the house. Long story short, the boy gave up his ideation of dogdom after nearly 48 hours of being treated as he wished, at least the remaining weeks under our roof...

Maybe serving only freshly filleted mice and rats (available at pet stores live for pet snakes) might readjust this ideological red tail Hawks unacceptable perception insanity... idk... but I’m convinced by the 10 year old boys dog adventure with sane logical parents... treat the furries and birdies like their chosen identity to the nth degree... a prescription of raw undiluted reality...

This is spot on.

Doctrinaire vegetarians (not to speak of mentally I'll "identify as") can enjoy the idea that hundreds of animal species will feast on their bodies in Mother Nature, and not a single one will have a shred of remorse. Not one, anywhere! "Yum yum yum" and "eat fast before another animal steals it or eats me" is their sole "thought". 😂

Hum! Maybe Hawk Eye's parents ought to server Hawk Eye mouse steaks for breakfast? Voles for lunch? Snake sticks for dinner?
