denMy euthanasia activities have earned me hate mail. According to *someone*@hotmail.com I should have tried to save the pigeon.
I like GreenPeace and animal rights activists and the work they do. But sometimes their members' "save the animal at all costs" mentality disregards the welfare and quality of life of the animal. Saving a wild animal so injured that it may never be released and must live in a small cage isn't saving the animal at all.

Date: 8 Dec 2002 21:47 (UTC)The person has probably never engaged in rescue of any sort. The odds are against you from the moment you take in the injured or abandoned animal. You don't count your successes by the ones you couldn't help or you go crazy. You have to concentrate on the one you were able to release or send to rehab, not the ten others you lost.
You do a good job. Screw the critics.
