I realize that a starving animal may evoke an emotional response from some, and I do sympathize, but Philmont is a wilderness, and in wilderness areas animals starve to death regularly. This is a feature of natural environments that scouts should learn about.
If you feel strongly about hunger, get your Congressman to send food aid to east Africa, where millions of humans are facing imminent starvation.
