Guilty feeling.

[raygun]

I was in the garden with the dog this afternoon. A young Blackbird flew across the garden and the dog chased after it and plucked it out of the air. The adult birds flew at the dog trying to distract it.
The bird wasn't dead but was in a bad way. I had to finish things for it.

I've now felt lousy all evening. I know now why I stopped pest control.

It works both ways Ray, I was equally upset when the resident magpies raided the blackbirds nest in our neighbours garden. I managed to get 2 of them but was more than pleased when one of the cats brought in a magpie and left it as a gift. Cats, dogs and magpies were all doing what comes naturally though.
