Mountain hare running – It must be said but sometimes being a wildlife photographer really sucks. Two nights ago I had perhaps one of the best single evening of photography that I had ever been privileged to experience. Something that I had always longed to witness happened just in front of me, in glorious evening sunlight and it went on for about two hours. For the first time ever I hit the buffer on my camera, so quickly was I capturing images and cherished memories. Last night however, at the exact same location, events unfolded that represented perhaps the most devastating night of my entire photographic career. Whilst I won’t currently go into the gory details I returned home absolutely distraught, enraged and unable to even articulate my feelings to my now worried wife. With tears streaming down my face I was finally able to bumble through the events, still shaking, still absolutely at a loss to explain the unspeakable acts of wanton cruelty to which we must bear witness. What I will never, ever understand is that we have all, at some point experienced pain. Some of us, myself included have experienced absolute terror, the kind of terror that one feels in those final moments before we die. With that in mind then what kind of person, having experienced those emotions for themselves, can then set out to inflict those self-same feelings onto another living creature? We know, with the same amount of certainty that the star around which our Earth orbits will rise in the morning, that every single mammal and bird shares ALL of the same complex emotions as we do yet their lives are treated with absolute contempt, like they are worth nothing. To say that I am unutterably sick and bewilderingly horrified in the way that our animal cousins are routinely treated would be a grotesque understatement and I despair at the glacial speed at which our so called animal loving species is figuring out what the true meaning of compassion really is. Rant over so here is a mountain hare, yet another of our cherished icons whose fragile bodies the despicable amongst us delight in directing their gun sights toward!
