Funny Side Up : Man Vs Wild

Often sheltered by the urban lifestyle, man forgets to shake hands with nature. But of course, not all nature is shake-hand-able. Some of it is rather ferocious. In our urban world, retractable claws pose a serious threat. And of course, really fast running bandicoots. We don't need the lions and single horned rhinos for us to jump on the table and shiver. A little “mew” should about cover it.
I wonder sometimes how hunters manage to have menacing masks and remains of their hunts on their wall. And here's my argument: you'd feel the same emotions that i do, when you find a dead squirrel in your water tank and you have to clean it out. A wet, dead squirrel looks like a live cock drenched in rain, for the lack of a better vocabulary. Maybe minus its teeth made largely protrusive and prominent by the lack of live muscles that hold it behind, but we've got the idea covered, in the broad sense.
The removal of dead animal matter from an area involves holding the dead animal and moving it elsewhere. (I can hear you groan!) The stench that surrounds dead animals is far worse than the ones that surround live ones. It can make you feel like wanting to be in better surroundings with much better aromas and scents. Holding your breath while you go close to the remains of the dead animal certainly helps. You can put your hands towards it (of course, suitably insulated with a pair of gloves) and quickly throw it away – or you can turn back and take a deep breath and proceed to do the same.
Holding a dead animal is way worse than holding one alive. Though fat chance that you want to hold a live squirrel and fat chance at the squirrel presenting you with the opportunity. Your hand shivers, your insides tremble and there is the faint sound of your stomach groaning. A word of advice, do not look directly at the dead animal. Try wearing a pair of sun glasses, it certainly helps.
After all the fuss, if you do succeed in getting rid of the dead matter, pat yourself on the back. It is a rare feat, not often performed by the urban population. It is perfectly natural to sulk after the incident. An encounter with the wild is often an opportunity to look into your soul and discover the joy and beauty of life. After all, there is neither joy or beauty in the dead.
