I feel so bad

[rossi]

i have just had to do the worse thing i have ever had to do.
this morning the sheep that live out the back of our house started lambing.
twolambs were abandned by there mother so me being the good guy went to the rescue.
brought them home got some lamb milk for them.they were doing wellbut one had a big problem and it wouldnt have made it another 30 mins so i had no chouce but to knock him on the head.(Will never ever do that again)
i feel bit down at the moment i dont know how farmers can do this sort of thing.
god im soft

[ManDownUnder]

Soft is good. Being humane is hard sometimes.... but anyone that loses that tenderness, that respect for life loses my respect with it.

Tis the way the world goes round I'm afraid.

[Trudes]

Sounds like you did the best you could and did the humane thing and put it out of its misery, so don't feel too bad about it, it's just a shame we can't do the same for our own kind.

Like MDU said, nothing wrong with being humane...You were being kind to that poor little thing...and it takes a strong person to do it even though you felt like this about it.

[babyblade250rr]

yeah you sure have done the right thing, think of the suffering the lamb was going through untill your relieved it.

Done the right thing mate

[vifferman]

I know how you feel, Mate.
A while back, the kids had pet rats, and one of them was really sick, and was distressing them, so they asked me to put him down. It was actually quite a job finding some way that wasn't inhumane (or is that un-ratlike?)
Made me feel really bad.

Either your:

A Looking for a date(chicks love this stuff) or

B You took in the bigger picture.

I had to put a much loved pet out of its misery(in a similar manner).

It had to be done.

thanks for the suport guys and gals.
lamb number two doing well back with his mum and if she not want anything to do with it the will hand rear it.

[Jantar]

Yes, its that time of year. I have also had to put lambs down in the past, and it is always hard.

Our sheep started lambing this morning with the first ewe giving birth to twins. A lovely black ram lamb, and a white female.

lamb number two doing well back with his mum

woohoo.. great news!! cross fingers it stays that way!!!!!

you done good Rossi!!!

[Laava]

A farmer friend of the olds said to them " if you got animals, you get dead animals". Can be brutal sometimes but there you go.
If you have trouble getting the sheep to take her lamb back, as a last resort try siccing the dog on the lamb. Sounds cruel but the mothering instinct can kick back in! Good luck!
