Don't go all democratic on me. I wish no animal pain. I'm sure my chickens had a slow and painful death by the dogs that attacked them. All I was trying to say is if it doesn't die immediately, then maybe it can make it home and get help. I never wanted it to go down like that.
Actually I thought that choice of words was interesting - supposed to be a slam?
I have a relative that is an animal rights/bleeding heart/vegan, and she's quite a staunch republican.
