Cat Pregnancy Questions?
"Sheelagh o" wrote in message I believe he did, in appendix 4, if you wish to read it. If you follow the link, you will see his findings in the research he went to the trouble of producing. And if *you* had read further, you'd have seen Dan mention that those findings were for vets. Since we're not vets, that doesn't leave the much easier option of a sedative and then a shot to kill the kitten. Perhaps you are right? I just don't have the stomach or confidence to try, for fear that I would be putting the poor kitten through further distress. You will understand what I mean when you take a look at the veterinary surgeons findings. Then you'd be actively forcing the kitten to live and suffer a longer period until you found some method that was less squeamish for you to use. Personally, I think that's pretty selfish. Tell me Sheelagh, if you had your guts ripped out and you were screaming in agony with nothing left for you to scream for quite a few minutes more until you slowly bled to death, would you accept being suffocated into unconsciousness within several seconds? I don't know about you, but I sure would. |

In all honesty, I think we both have an animal's welfare at heart, just that we might take different routes to do something about it. Say what you want, I'm finished with this thread. |

You will understand what I mean when you take a look at the veterinary surgeons findings. Sheelagh"o" For what it's worth....(I have been following this thread) I am 72 years old. (Yesterday was my birthday) When I was about 30, I drowned a mouse by holding it under water. (We had an infestation of mice, and I caught this one without a trap, so I drowned it.) That was 42 years ago.....I will never forget it, and I have never drowned anything else since. The point? - Just be advised that some of the things you might do when you are 30 will not sit well with you when you are older, so think well before you act....... |

Is it on a different page Charlie? Sheelagh"o" I have one more comment on this. These examples of euthanizing and arrests and all that stuff. Were these cats severely injured when they were drowned or were they for the most part healthy cats? That's what we're talking about, euthanizing a severely injured cat. If someone killed a cat for another reason, then that has absolutely nothing to do with our discussion. *When* you find that link, research under what circumstances these cats were euthanized. *THEN* go and find me examples of someone being convicted for drowning a severely injured kitty. Until you can do that, you or Charlie or whoever wants to comment have no rebuttal to what I've been talking about. |
