Hearing about death at a protest is one thing. Witnessing a body being lifted from the streets and attending the burial of a killed demonstrator is another.

I'm one of those who can watch Nat Geo Wild (@NatGeoAnimals) round the clock, but the shows with people in them remind me to wander elsewhere. Vets and snake hunters don't belong there, in my 'wild' opinion.
