Hyapa was a good man and animal lover. What happened is so unfortunate and sad, but it cannot wipe off his lack of good sense nor his character. We are human beings and we can fall as Hy did, probably in different way.
Jesus said to the accusers of a woman caught in adultery, who was sentenced by the male to be stoned. “If you have no sin get the stone and throw it.” He continued writing on the sad. The male accusers left embarrassed and confused.
Jesus asked where were her accusers. She responded that had left. He told her, “Go in peace and sin no more.”
God be with Hyapa and give him a new beginning.
