9. 2 weeks after his loss he's STILL grieving.

If your husband/wife died 2 weeks ago and somebody said, about you, that you were STILL grieving, wouldn't you think that was odd thing to point out?

6. Poor baby! She was the only animal he knew and must be sooo lonely.

I wouldn't doubt if he died of a broken heart.

7. There is a campaign also to save Arturo - a polar bear imprisoned in Argentina

DAMN humans and what they do to these poor innocent creatures! All for human entertainment and profit.

BULLSHIT!

It makes me SO angry. And it breaks my heart!
