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

Oh shut up, you sniveling, bleeding-heart, liberal fool!

If you could read you'd know that's NOT what I wrote.

You said that they should be treated "as humanely as possible".

I strongly disagree. Pets are NOT human, and we should not confuse them
with humanity.


Far too many city dwellers ascribe human emotions to animals. They think
that an animal with a brain the size of a pea is capable of the same degree
of "awareness" as a human. This is rubbish!

Apes and elephants are the only other species that display any recognition
of the concept of "death". There is no evidence whatsoever to suggest
that any other species has any feelings on the matter at all.



I wrote it's the pet owner's personal responsiblity to kill his
pet if the pet is severely injured and in pain and has no
chance to live through its injuries.

You said that the pet should be treated "humanely". You are incapable of
realising that your pet cat only tolerates your company because you are a
source of food. If you don't believe me, then don't feed the cat for a
week. He/she will soon return to its feral state, and spit at you whenever
you come within spitting distance.

Rabbit in garlic sauce is delicious!

You don't even have to stop feed them. One of our cats was feral, she's been
"domesticated", if we let her sneak out she'll often bring home her kill for
the evening and leave it on the front porch. When she was a kitten she got a
hold of a large bunny, the thing was screaming as she dragged it along by
the neck, she only turned it loose when my wife startled her by yelling at
her. Last year the alpha male corgi got a hold of a newborn rabbit and
practically swallowed it whole. All of these animals are well-fed. I think
most cats and dogs have bonds with their owners that go a little beyond
being a source of food.

Navigator's lament
 

Epitaph To A Dog

When some proud son of man returns to earth,
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptor's art exhausts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below.
When all is done, upon the tomb is seen,
Not what he was, but what he should have been.
But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his master's own,
Who labors, fights, lives, breathes for him alone,
Unhonored falls, unnoticed all his worth,
Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth-
While man, vain insect! hopes to be forgiven,
And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven.
Oh man! thou feeble tenant of an hour,
Debased by slavery, or corrupt by power-
Who knows thee well must quit thee with disgust,
Degraded mass of animated dust!
Thy love is lust, thy friendship all a cheat,
Thy smiles hypocrisy, thy words deceit!
By nature vile,ennobled but by name,
Each kindred brute might bid thee blush for shame.
Ye, who perchance behold this simple urn,
Pass on-it honors none you wish to mourn.
To mark a friend's remains these stones arise;
I never knew but one-and here he lies.

Lord Byron
(tribute to "Boatswain" on a monument in the garden of Newstead Abbey)


************************************************
************************************************

For days the good old bitch had been dying, her back
pinched down to the spine and arched to ease the pain,
her kidneys dry, her muzzle white. At last
I took a shovel into the woods and dug her grave
in preparation for the certain. She came along,
which I had not expected. Still, the children gone,
such expeditions were rare, and the dog,
spayed early, knew no nonhuman word for love.
She made her stiff legs trot and let her bent tail wag.
We found a spot we liked, where the pines met the field.

The sun warmed her fur as she dozed and I dug;
I carved her a safe place while she protected me.
I measured her length with the shovel's long handle;
she perked in amusement, and sniffed the heaped-up earth.

Back down at the house, she seemed friskier,
but gagged, eating. We called the vet a few days later.
They were old friends. She held up a paw, and he
injected a violet fluid. She swooned on the lawn;
we watched her breathing quickly slow and cease.
In a wheelbarrow up to the hole, her warm fur shone.
