Does anyone else do this? I really hate suffering (also bullying) of any kind and this extends to saving worms drowning in puddles, snails in the middle of the path ready to be trod on, bees in the middle of the road and such like. Today I walked past a worm drowning in a puddle and had to turn back to go save it. Any kind of animal suffering means huge emotional turmoil for me, more so than any suffering of humans. I’ll think about it for the rest of the day. It also means I really struggle with adverts asking for donations and showing donkeys in awful states and whatever other animals they show. I have to turn it over as I can’t physically do anything to help them and get an awful feeling in my stomach.
If I see a snail crossing a path I'll pick them up and drop them off on the other side, I viscerally hate the thought of someone just walking through with no regard for them because it's not like a snail can just get out of the way.
What's the deal with you and Bees? Do you keep them?
Oh no, though I do like bees I don't keep them, it's an inside joke about my pronouns with another person who kept getting stuck on the plural version.
