14. Yes you are kind.

Sometimes a kind heart can lead people to cruelty.

Every breath was agony for that kitten as broken bones tore into flesh.

Next time just satisfy yourself with a quick pat and quickly and humanely dispatch the animal.

This wild creature writhing in agony did not FEEL your love.

It wanted out of its misery.

Please do not be an agony vampire ever again.

Sometimes the best mercy is ending the pain when there is no hope.
