Generally, most of the stuff I find washed up on the beach is dead. If it is alive, I throw it back into the water because it makes me feel like I have saved a life somehow. I don't think the public need to worry so much about the actions of their fellow humans towards animals. Most of us are kind. As a species we are the only one to show some kind of interest in making sure the animals we do kill for meat are killed humanely. I doubt they were alive. The author shows too much love of the sea. mi$$y Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662827938332415879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83583818745108352.post-72114014337736221792016-04-12T20:13:08.297-04:002016-04-12T20:13:08.297-04:00Lightning Whelk.
