Complete story — includes the ending

Dick becomes upset when he accidentally hits a chipmunk with his car and becomes an animal rights activist, refusing to allow his family to wear or eat anything that is made from animal products. Meanwhile, Harry has become a scout and is breeding ants in the house, but Dick will not let Sally kill them. After Dick nurses the chipmunk back to health and releases it into wild, it is immediately attacked by a bird. Dick throws a rock at the bird, only to be horrified when Harry tells him he has killed an endangered peregrine falcon. Tommy feels guilty because he neglected to ask August to the school dance, and is trying to pen a letter to an agony aunt in the paper.
