Dear Pat and ???, 
I agree with both of you. In such situations, first of all you have to care for the life of your family and neighbours. Lateron, in the aftermath, one can find solace other parts of the nature as well as in zoos or museums. There is a certain similarity to the death of a dear person.

Best regards


Christian
