News: Boy's gets his last wish to "KILL" a bear then dies on the way back from hunting

When I saw this news article, I could not wrap my head around it. I just could not make sense of the fact that a person struggling for his own life gain could even an iota of pleasure in ending another. Yes it is not a human life but still any animal or even an insect for that matter can clearly demonstrate its desire/drive to live. What is this world coming to? It is definitely not the fault of the boy. He probably acted the way he did, based on what he has been exposed to. It just feels terribly bad that someone so young in such critical condition would not be able feel bad for ending another life. Is there pride in producing callus hearts and minds instead of compassionate ones? And I cannot understand that adults who provided for this great opportunity. I pray that the boys soul rests in peace and I hope there are more people feeling the way I felt when they come across this story.
