Anniet...I think some of the "over the top" reactions may have come from first time cam viewers...not sure.
I still wish there could have been an intervention, but I'm more accepting of the fact that there wasn't...nor did I expect one.
I remember the very first time I saw a parent feed a deceased baby to a sibling, I was horrified...but, now I've grown to realize that "recycling" just makes sense. Nothing should go to waste...so, I now try to look at it more spiritually: The deceased eaglet or eyas becoming part of its siblings, helping to nourish and sustain the survivors..There is a very small part of me that still worries about disease/sickness being passed from the dead to the living. But, knock on wood, I've never seen this happen...
Thank you for your answers SGB and Gigi, you help me so much to understand.
Mary Anne, I would call your way of looking at this a
spiritual-scientific view.
There must be first time watchers of course, but there also is a sort of
social-spiritual phenomenon going on. The US have daily bands with church, spirit, prayers and healing, through television and for everyone, and I would think there is a sort of
spiritual group phenomena going on?
That is an interesting perspective that I had not thought about Anniet. I think that is a good analysis for our collective feelings.
And with that being said, the idea of the eagles and other animals having feelings is hotly debated in the scientific realm. I think, with animals, it all goes back to survival of the fittest and in this case, the eagles know that tenderly feeding and caring for their chicks gets allows them to raise the fittest, who is best able to continue their gene pool.
Oh gosh, did I make any sense???
