I think the rescue stated it as well as they could. It can't be proved that Mary was the culprit, but even if she was, the circumstances have to be taken into consideration. Yorkies are bred to kill rodents, but bred to kill they are. And when you consider what even humans in the most dire of situations can be reduced to, when the survivor instinct kicks in...well, the survival urge is a drive more powerful than anything else. If you're fighting for food and water, and you know that you have a litter of pups inside you that you have to nourish as well, I would imagine that you could kill in desperation towards that end. Humans could and have. God bless this little pup that she has been rescued and given a chance at another life. The 2 rescues I have were both breeders and they have some quirks. Bridget's trigger is quicker than the others and I would imagine that it had to be to survive.... I hope she can overcome that...
