kite

man ends up takin the lives of animals and birds around him without even knowin it!

durin my chem exams on monday, thr was a lot of ruckus outside the lab. we stepped out w/ the prof and saw some fire dept guys w/ a huge ladder against a tree in the woods. we soon learned tht a bird was stuck in the tree. rumors said it was thr for 2 days. i took permission from sir and went out to hav a closer look. i saw a kite (the bird, not the toy!) hanging from the tree. its left wing appeared to hav been caught in something. aftr an agonisingly long wait, they got it down. its wing had a deep cut in it. the culprit? maanja from the kites we fly. it cut deep into the bird's wing.

it didnt protest or resist the fireman. i believe it was rushed 2 the vet. hope it survives.

"somewhere i can taste the salt of the seathere's a kite blowing out of control on the breeze
i wonder what's gonna happen to u
u wonder wht has happened to me"
-U2 (kite, from the album 'all that you can't leave behind')

Exactly the same thing happened some four or five years ago, when I was still a student. The fire department was as helpful. I just hope it wasn't the same kite (the bird, not the maanja source!).
