Oldest Bird in America

The oldest bird known in America was tagged in 1956 by scientists. She has been tracked ever since, and she is estimated to be at least 60 years old.

 Obviously there is no animal abuse involved in this particular wild animal.  America isn't low enough to expect that to happen, although wild animals are harmed.  Relating to animals, and helping animals however, the fact that humans have praised this bird means a lot.  It's phenomenal the this bird has lived for so long, and has had around three dozen children.  The idea that we almost worship this bird means that humans are only a cog in a bigger machine in the world.  We may think we are everything, but we look at this bird through the eyes of wonder as if we were still primal.  Be the animal a pet or a dangerous creature, they are more important than people the the welfare of the world, and the sustainability of life.  It's not right to harm animals, but although many who do such things do it feeling empowered simply because they can do this with such ease; they are truly a small part of the world, and endangering animals means much more than they can comprehend.
