I would have grabbed it in a towel, administered a good slug of rum,
sewed up the wound and slavered it with alum and Neosporin.

Then I would have put the little critter in a dark box and given it some
water and maybe a tender carrot. I would have checked it the next
day and let it go if it looked well enough.

This is how a human being operates. I live by the credo, "If you cannot
give life don't hasten to take life."

S.Simon - more to me than meets the eye.

Have you ever
heard a wounded rabbit cry?

I have, unfotunately...it is the most desperate heart-rending sound i have ever heard...a wild rabbit got into our garage and ran
behind a heavy shovel which fell over and sliced into its head...I had to finish the job and then went out and upchucked...Neal
would probably have let it live screaming....
