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.

They DO do good work with endangered species and the like, but when it comes to the rescue of single animals who are obviously too far gone to have any normal quality of life, they shouldn't piss on you for putting the pigeon down. Even if there was something you could have done, would the pigeon have survived a wildlife release? I don't think so...
