There is obviously a lot of senseless killing, especially on KC's East Side. And we become numb to it because we hear about shootings in KCK, or the East Side, or Midtown, just about every day in KC.
This story makes me feel weary. I love animals, many of them I love more than some people I know. And it's just a Goddamn shame that in this one little island in the middle of all the decay and crap that is the KC East Side, that this one little animal that brought so much happiness to people who visited that cemetery had to be needlessly shot. It just sucks.
I suppose the cynic in me says its inevitable, and the realist in me says the death of an animal is not as serious as that of a human being. But still, its little things in life, like a peaceful harmless deer living in an old city cemetery, and bringing joy to the people who visit there, that gives hope and delight to life in some weird way. It's just depressing that something special like this always has to end because of some senseless act of stupidity.
