I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I would like to say this:
You are a keeper of an animal. You are responsible for being compassionate about the lives of the animals. Be it prey or predator, every animal deserves basic rights and respect.
If you don't understand that, you should re-evaluate why you are taking care of animals in the first place.
We are all learning, all enjoying our animals, sharing information, developing attitudes and feelings towards our animals and each other. But it should all be based on the overall respect of our fellow creatures, human or not.
Be kind.
