Not on purpose. I was trying to help the poor thing, it's wing was very clearly broken so I took him inside (in a towel) made him comfortable (I hope) in the car carrier with some blankets and called the SSPCA
Told not to move him and keep him somewhere quiet and calm, don't feed him or give water and they'd be out to get him ASAP.
The lovely lady came out and checked his wings over and said it was too damaged and they'd not be able to do anything for him, he'd be put to sleep
I know it's irrational, I've rescued animals before that have been too injured to carry on and that it's kinder to put them to sleep. I've just never rescued an animal that seems so healthy (he was a very fat boy!) and so alert when injured badly and I just feel like I've signed his death warrant.
Feeling quite daft and upset atm, and really wishing he could have been ok
