She died of shock after a roaming dog got her. She wasn't so badly hurt: the dog dropped her and she ran wobbly over to me (amaing in itself, she was one of my least cuddly) and I can't help thinking if I had been calmer the shock might have been recoverable, instead I ...was not calm. None of the others were hurt, but Tweed misses her so badly, he was looking all day.

Oh LIR that sounds so....I can't find the words.
I know you don't like her much but LJ wrote about her ex battery chicken dying (as never got over being a battery hen, poor thing).....all living things feel pain the same (even though we eat them ).

I am sure it wasn't your fault.....the shock would have felt the same to her.
OH still gets upset about a mouse cat brought in, escaped and we caught her, about to put her back outside and she started to shake and gasp, then just died in his hand.

I know, in reality...I'm an animal too, I react..how I react, and it awasn't the dog's fault (its thoughtless owners....for those tht don't understand why some of us are anti free access to the entire countryside, today is why). But, when you have animals, like kids, like babies, you have voiceless defenceless (in a human world) little people to whom you hav such a responsibility to make their lives (whatever their deaths) as good as we can.

Its a complex one with hens: (lir deletes a tract about why, presuming its too ''harsh'' for here and now).

Mice we get loads of. The cats are good nutritionists, they leave me plenty of protein and always with a side salad.

I can't believe this thread is still here. Even Misskool has given up.

Quite expected it to be slid off to The Arms before now!

Ahem .... looking at your dob, is the reason you spend so much time here, anything to do with Mrs mewbie liking a nap?

Edit:- Just occurred to me - perhaps Misskool's on her hols!!

Koalas can die in a similar way. If you go and poke at the with a stick or something (as teenaged boys tend to do) then they lose the will to live and stop eating, become dehydrated, fall off their tree and die.
