Leonora, so we shoul lie to her about the dogs intentions. He wanted to kill it and eat it. Kathy, the squirrel was not diseased. It was just killed by the dog. You touch dead animals all the time when you eat a hamburger or chicken sandwich. Even if you are a vegan, you get animal by products in many things that you know not of. As far as respecting an animals death, you seem to want to be putting it on a level with human beings. If that is the case I hope you carry a shovel around w/you in your car to give proper burials to all of the road kill out there that you come across. When you think in ways like this what happens is not that animals deaths are elevated to a level as high as humans, but humans are lowered in your minds to a level that is no longer worthy of what it should be. Man becomes only another animal to you. This is why people go into class rooms and kill their classmates Kathy. In no way can you compare a 3yr old child investigating her world, that is incapable of comprehending death, to some idiot that murders people. I kill every animal imaginable, and eat them. As do my kids, I have have been doing so since I was 4 or 5 yrs old. So far I have not killed anyone that was not suppose to be killed. Like Jon, I would not allow an animal to suffer, out of common descency I would shoot it and put it out of it's missery. JG an animal is not capable of recieving dignity, they are what they are, squirrels. I think you probably don't know what dignity is if you think a dead squirrel is deserving of it. Sometimes it is better for all involved if some people just don't talk. Just a bit of free advice. If you want more advice/educating I will have to charge you for it, just so you know the value of what I gave you there for free. Jon, I sure hope that there is never a breakdown in society, these people would be at your and mine doorsteps asking for freebies and food. Every one of them lives in a large city, or suburb of a city. To have warped thinking like this you have to have been raised in a sheltered society away from all normalcy. I have done some studies and this lack of realistic thinking has given rise to the groups like peta and the aspca. These people are doomed from their raising to default into these groups. The populace is like a flock of birds in these larger cities, as one or two turn the whole of the flock follows, regardless of the idiocy an irrational thinking that they are led into. Good luck in your quest to teach common sense to these types Jon, and God bless you buddy.

Jon , your so stupid---didn't you see them letting her play with it, they did not teach the child any respect for the dead animal.That father is a DOPE,first to run get the camera, BUT did you notice he got a good shot of the wife's boobs!! Maybe after she got cleaned up we can hope they buried the thing with a little dignity...

If disease is the first thing that concerns you, then break out the disinfectant. Every tree, blade of grass, and everyother squirrel in the neighborhood "could" be diseased. I dont know how many times Ive heard "Daddy, Koda killed a bunny... caught a bird... ate a squirrel." I respect an animal enough to not let it suffer, but once it's gone over the fence it goes. Its not a toy, but it's not useless. If you want to teach something teach about using what you kill. That dead animal can be used for food, clothes, your favorite leather jacket, or even fertilizer to make the grass a little greener on the other side of the fence. Even roadkill is scraped up and put in a compost pile. A deer clipped on the highway can put dinner on someone's table. The loss of Human life is to be mourned and respected. God put animals on this planet to serve man, not be his equal.

First of all, yes, that squirrel could have been deseased. But also importantly - what type of parenting doesn't give some sort of direction - like, let's give the dead squirrel some respect. This is not a plaything - it was a living breathing thing, now dead - have some respect. No wonder kids shoot and kill their classmates with no further thought.

Disease is my first concern. She touched her mouth.
And first and foremost she should have been told that
it's a sad day, not a fun day. It's not a toy!
Learn how to bury it, and feel sorry for the squirrel.
And maybe, tell her the dog didn't think he would kill it.
Even at a young age, they can learn.
