A female sparrow is hit by
a car as she swooped low across the road, and the condition
is soon fatal.
Her male mate brings her
food and
attends her with love and compassion.
He brings her food a second
time but discovers that she is dead
He tries to move her - a
rarely seen effort.
Aware that his mate is dead
and will
never come back to him again, he cries with adoring love...
...and stands beside her
with sadness and sorrow.
Millions of people were touched
after seeing these photos in America , Europe, Australia
and even India .
The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to
the most famous newspaper in France.
All copies of that edition were sold out on the day these
pictures were
published.
So much for animals not have feelings and emotions.
