http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?id=6967901§ion=news/localAnimal suicide is real.I have seen it. One time I made a campfire put rocks around it in a ring. Sitting by the fire, tending it. I saw two toads hopping nearby. I assumed they must have came out of the nearby woods.The two toads hopped up on the rocks circling the fire,the rocks were not hot or in the flames yet. Both toads sat there a minute. Suddenly, one toad hopped into the fire. I didn't catch him in time to stop him.The toad jumped into the hottest part of the fire sitting atop coals,the other toad watched this toad die. While I frantically tried to get this toad out of the fire,it resisted my help.So when it was obvious he was a goner I stopped trying to get him out of the fire.Then when the toad in the fire was burnt up the other toad sat on the rock a minute or so than hopped away back into the grass hopping twords the woods..

The first thing he did was to bring her some food in a hope that it would help. But unfortunately his sweetheart died. Shocked, he tried to bring her back to life.
He tried to lift her and make her move. When he realized that all his efforts were in vain, he began to cry. And then he began to scream and call for help. Then, he finally realized that she left him for ever ... he stayed next to her body, motionless with his enormous grief.
