If we're talking about a dog, how would you know the owner would not have rather taken it to the vet's? Are you ready to testify that you are an expert, and that the animal had no chance of recovery?

Quite frankly, I am finding the suffering of the animal right on up there with a court appearance.

Understood. I would just hate to see a dog or cow or whatever suffer is all. Almost hit a deer this morning and got to thinking about it.

IMHO you're better off calling the authorities. Too many people have cameras these days, and you're likely to end up on the front page dispatching Bambi with extreme prejudice.
If you're out in the middle of nowhere, shoot, shovel, and shut up.

Animals
Hi All,
I understand there is a statute dealing with shooting across a road, and you can shoot a wild animal that is attacking someone. I was wondering about if you hit an animal and maim it. Wild or domesticated. If it is suffering, is it ok to help it along?
