"Den is one of our most competent euthanasers."
(comment at the recent WIRES meeting.)


I'm not happy to know this.

It sucks that you've been in the situation often enough to become "one of the most competent". On the other hand, it seems to me (from a distance, not having to do it) that if one *has* to euthanize animals because they're too badly injured to recover, doing it competently is better than screwing up.

I still cry when I kill bats and mammals. I'm coping better with birds now. The sad thing is that my Kill Kit is almost as complex as my Care Kit.

I probably would too (and in case you're wondering, I don't think less of you for doing so yourself). Query: I thought bats are mammals?

I meant "other mammals." I mentally divide things into "bats" and "everything else" 8)

And why does this not surprise me? :-)
