You've missed my point entirely, had neither mother been shot, neither foetus/joey would have died or needed a pat on the head. Big deal, everyone's going to shoot a pregnant female at some stage, I think we can all agree on that here.
The main point here is not whether "we" need educating or re-educating about such matters, or whether "we" all need a teaspoon of cement or not.
The fact of the matter is that these photos are in poor taste and need not have been posted publically, in anything other than a scientific or research based forum.
