In this case it was probably less abut seeing the birds suffer than ignorance of what removing the eggs from their nest and leaving them exposed in the hot sun would do to the unhatched chicks. Pure thoughtlessness.

Probably both.

I remember when Cape Cod had Herring Runs.

Like Salmon, they would come up from the ocean into certain streams to spawn.

People would go at night with flashlights, shine them in the water and stomp on the ground.

The Herring would panic and the whole stream would erupt with fish.

They would throw themselves out on the bank by the thousands.

The people would fill a few burlap sacks to use the Herring for fertilizer.

The rest they just left on the bank to die and rot.

Is that the Soos Creek AKA Chenois Creek?

Why is anyone surprised at the ability of a human being to be brutal? And to any species.

They are both stupid and evil. Peer pressure is a likely influence as well.

Throw the book at 'em.
