Writing about corral birds.

Kimmo Huosionmaa

I once read a story from the book what handles the thing called possibility. That is the story of little pig, what is laying in its bullpen, and every morning comes somebody to give it some food. And then comes one special morning, when the food is not coming, and that little pig is taking to out, where the block of food is waiting. That pig's destiny was to trust that people will take care of it for free.


The people who took that pig to their home mission was to protect it against other beasts, and that little pig must felt that it got all support and food for nothing, but then comes the Christmas, and those people wanted to make their Christmas menu and that costs the pigs life. This is a story that made me think, how many times there is other than altruistic reasons for giving protection and support to other people. How many times an angel will show that nobody ever should trust.


When people trust together blindly, they will go to the danger zone. If we are thinking that everybody is altruistic, we must understand that some "angels of the street" are something else than people, who will show the goodwill to other people. I once saw the movie about hunters, who used bird what is put on corral, and used as a decoy for another bird. Those birds were grown with the people, and then they didn't afraid of the hunters.  Somebody says that in some communities the fur hunters used the same methodology to wolfs.


They grow some wolf-puppies with them and after those puppies have grown in full age they called another wolfs to shoot by hunters. This was normal hunting methodology in the 19. century. Today that method is prohibited, but sometimes those hunters have used decoy animals for calling the pray for them. And also mobile telephones ringtones have been modified for giving the call signals to those animals. That way of hunting is too effective and it has been causing loss of some bird populations around the world. If police catch some person of that action, it might cost that hunters weapon to the state.


Those birds called the other birds to the yard, and after that hunters shot them. Here I mean, that if some persons want to show, that they represent some group of people, we must realize that those people might be separated from other persons of that community. They might see only what the leaders of that system want them to see.  In the world is many people, who want to play some kind of angel to other people. But the truth about that altruism is that those people might use those people, who were "rescued" from somewhere, might only use those persons as a free workforce.
