Actually, Hive people wouldn't say 'I know that most people would say "but you do realize there's been an earthquake in Turkey, right?"' because we're mostly a good lot, and empathetic. I hate cats, but I understand people's relationship with them, and I love dogs, so it's kinda the same thing. It's fucking awful when they die. And we have the right to mourn our loved pets when they pass EVEN IF there's other terrible things going on in the world. Legit. We all have our personal earthquakes, because we are frail, loving human beings. Keep being vulnerable to the grief that moves through us when animals we are close to die. xxx
