The decision is NEVER an easy one and it NEVER feels like the right thing to do. I've done it over 100 times in my life and it never gets any easier till you get some distance on it. Then you realize that part of being an animal parent is knowing when it's best for THEM not YOU to take the pain away.

I have also had to make the decision too many times. I also did wildlife rescue & rehabilitation for years. Our goal was to release back into the wild. When the decision came to euthanize or put into an educational program it was horrible. Taking care of a baby owl or wolf pup, you become attached. I also did dog rescue after that. It's rewarding and heartbreaking.
