I stand by what I said. You don't hold a dying animal and refuse to care for it. Let me ask this.....do you think that person, if she had a medical problem and was dying, would get on an online forum and say she was dying? Seriously. I will bet she would find help for herself..or at least try.
As for the remark I made about "if it were me" , let me expound on it a bit and say that "if it were a true animal lover with compassion". Don't even try to tell me that letting an animal suffer and die while you are sitting on a computer typing is love for animals. Oh..you can try to tell me....but I am not buying it.
Yep...your opinion...and mine. Two different view points on responsible pet care. |
let me first say that I did not say that I condoned refusing care for a dying animal. I read the story and she could have told us full truth or partial truth, who knows. She said she tried to get the animal help and that the only vet in her area would not help because she had no money so she took her little girl home and was doing all she could for her on her own. I have been known to do everything possible for dying animals, including ones that don't belong to me so of course I wouldn't condone that.
Here's what I did say...I don't know the situation, I am not in her shoes and therefor I will not judge her. For all I know she was alone with her dog and she was scared and needed someone to talk to to get her through it. Who knows, I don't.
