Swan Song

During a stressful commute, a random act of kindness puts things in perspective when a swan is saved from certain death.

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.

If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.

Ryan and I are constantly stopping to help ducks and swans across the street.  We get flipped off and honked as we block traffic and we don't care.  Ryan will even turn his car sideways to block more than one lane of traffic until the bird makes it across - often times with a line of chicks in tow.  I wish more people would stop like this woman did, and I wish more people would get out of their cars and do something like the gentleman on the motorcycle.

 

On page 7 of this magazine there is an article about a man who got an award for saving his local ducks.  We all need to be a voice for the animals like him! http://www.idamagazine.org/MagFall09.pdf
