2bob 9 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 you did the right thing by putting it out of it's misery and at least your ferret's got some fresh meat. don't worry about it.atb Quote Link to post
dreamweezle 0 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Im quite "fluffy" and I dont see any wrong in this at all, you stopped the pigeons suffering and as me old nan used to say waste not want not, it went back into the food chain so wasnt a waste of life,bird out of its misery and full ferrets, good job done Quote Link to post
tote 856 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I suppose it might depend on how you "put it out of it's misery". Quote Link to post

marty42 18 Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 well done.i think you putted it out of its misery and done it a favour.no pint in leaving it there suffering for a cat or a rat to get it later.and i think your right to give it to your ferrets.no pint in leaving good meet go ta waist.but i wouldnt have putting it down in front of people.alot of people would understand and they would just think your been cruel to animals.and then you would be the talk of the town lol Quote Link to post
