Or leave them crippled on the road after running them over. We found a 6 or
7 wk old kitten dragging itself across the road to town using it's front
legs. We scooped her up and ran her to our vet who couldn't save her. She
was in agony with a crushed leg, torn rectun and partly crushed pelvis. I
still see her little face looking up at me from the container we put her in
to take her to the vet... and tears are running down my face remembering
her.... :*(
