Jeannette Walls Quote

One day we heard on the radio that a woman in the suburbs had seen a mountain lion behind her house and had called the police, who shot the animal. Dad got so angry he put his fist through a wall. That mountain lion had as much right to his life as that sour old biddy does to hers, he said. You can't kill something just because it's wild.
