I glance outside this morning and my dog was dragging a poor bird around by its wing. Obviously my cats had caught it and the dog was now enjoying her new 'toy'. I feel absolutely horrendous. I am completely terrified of birds (long story) but after ages spent trying to get my dog to drop it, I have managed to get the dog inside.
The bird is now sat on my patio. I can see it breathing (very very quickly) but it is in a really bad way.
I have no idea what to do. Handling it is out of the question for me, but I would happily see if a neighbour or something will help me if the general concensus is that I need to pick it up and take it somewhere.
I would say it is fairly certain it will not survive its injuries, at the very least it probably wouldn't fly again.
I don't have it in me to 'finish it off'.
I'm just watching it out of the window and I feel this horrible sick guilt that my pets have done this. Don't get me wrong, they have caught and killed stuff before and I feel awful then too, but watching it clinging on is horrible.
WWYD?!?
