Re "Losing a mate leaves hole in vole," Oct. 16
This gruesome article -- about the mental and physical torture, and eventual killing, of innocent creatures in an attempt to explain grief -- disgusted me.
Grief doesn't need a study to explain why it occurs. Ask anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one why he or she is in pain.
Ask me. My dear father passed away two months ago, and no researcher needs to tell me why I mourn. It's simple: I loved my father. I miss him.
