Kim- I'm surprised. WOuldn't everyone do that? Really. I dont' see
it as an issue. I would no more let a baby rodent lie there as I
would a kitten or a baby person. Doesn't everyone, when hearing about
another infanticide say "Hey- *I'll* take your baby if you dont' want
her!".
I still think about a squirrel I saw get hit by a car and needed to be
put out of it's misery, but it was at the intersection of two very
busy roads and I just couldn't get to it. That was over 10 years ago.
When I was in Tijuana I wanted to dose all the street dogs with
antibiotics to heal their abscesses. Wouldn't you?
Just some thoughts I had when I read your response.
