I'd already moved out of home, and this Bug sat next to Dad's 3-4 old Falcons in the back yard. He just said he was "making room" (on 5 acres... ok). I believe him (even then), as he simply could not think of others naturally.
It's all water under the bridge now. We've all learned to treat each other better since. It's hard for most young people to know the difference between mental sickness, and a "bad person" who deserves anger. If I knew what I know now, I would have acted differently.
