Title: In need of hugs.....
Post by: Teroniss on June 08, 2007, 12:23:59 AM
About 4 days ago, I stopped my car on the side of the road and saved a turtle that was in the middle of the street from being run over. Then today, I'm at the gaming store around the corner and the owner comes in and says someone ran over a turtle. Sadly, it was the same one I had saved and it was still alive, and I had to put it out of its misery cuz no one else would...... :< I think I need a hug now......... :mowsad

How dreadful. :< That's terrible. The least you can do for an animal you hit (and badly injure) is end it for the poor thing.

And then make it into a stew.

Whaaaat?  It's not like nature itself isn't going to do the exact same thing, at least in my way humanity gets the meal.

I knew there'd be someone like this soon! Although I expected 'Turtle Soup' instead of a stew.

Stew is thicker and...... wait a second... :boom OW...  serious deja vu...

Anyway, stew is thicker and more filling than a soup though I guess you could call it the same thing with stew being a sub-division of soup.

Sorry, Teroniss.

I wish I could do something more than offer an e-hug.  Still, you deserve a hug.   :hug

Well, at least ya tried. I hate when people don't think while driving. It's not like a turtle can just come out of nowhere...

I somewhat know how you feel. One day, years ago, while biking with a friend we found a cat laying in the middle of the street. The poor thing had been hit by a car and it's back legs were completely shattered. In a panic we hoisted it carefully into a box and raced to my buddy's house, we called the humane society who told us to try to keep it comfortable on their way there. We pet it and gave it some milk, then it just drifted off.

The only comfort I take from that is despite all the pain the poor thing was purring when it died :cry

I don't think I can say anything which isn't something someone else has already said. So I'll just say this: I'm sorry.

           What can you do when someone rings your doorbell, and they say, " I think your cat's been run over " .
   This was not a case of run over, but it looked as if he had been steam - rollered over that day. A bit of a depressing day, that ...
