    What a bloody awful thing to do. There was a spate of this sort of mindlessness happened in Scotland a couple of years ago too.

    One example

    And another

    I appreciate a slain hind or a Highland stag riddled with air-rifle pellets doesn't have the same cultural impact as this important buffalo calf but it still shows a similar cavalier regard by the perpetrators. Lack of respect is what it boils down to.

    I would be angry, but the sadness set in first and is holding the fort.

    White buffalo have been showing up more lately. I remember "Miracle" being born in Wisconsin back in the 90's. There have been several since then. They are a fulfillment of an old Lakhota prophecy. I am not surprised by the disrespect exhibited toward this one. Terribly sad, yes, but typical, and only one in a 400-some-odd-year regime of countless atrocities.

    Lack of spiritual awareness of and being so pathetically far out of tune with the greater cosmos is unfortunately a characteristic of simple, angry beings...

    ..."without souls," comes to mind.

    And re the third world in the US...parts of Chicago are more dangerous than Afghanistan. Really.
