It is natural to feel sympathy for animals who are suffering. Have you taken the time to investigate this? Many people exclude animals from moral consideration, even though they would never think to neglect, much less harm, a dog or a cat.

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I rather like many of these old names, as they put a bit of colour and interest into birding, especially if you bother to investigate who exactly the birds are named after. There are many who think that the whole idea is ridiculous, while others believe that it is long overdue.

If the animal then touches or investigates the mark, it is taken as an indication that the animal perceives the reflected image as an image of itself, rather than of another animal.
