Oh, thank goodness!

A thousand and one thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sultrysong who not only has bailed me out by taking poor pidgy to the SPCA to be put out of his (her?) misery, but also was kind enough to drive me home in the icky weather.

Hurray for fantastic friends!

Needless to say, my coworkers mocked me mercilessly for being a totally mushy-hearted softie. The price I pay for not being able to walk away from an animal in distress.

*sigh*

All is well that ends well. Hurray!

Tomorrow is a busy day. I'm very glad I don't have to get out to the SPCA and back on top of it all.

Your logic is flawed. Bologna, per se, is not an animal. It is a part of an animal. Thus, it can never take on baby form. :)

Besides, this pigeon was an adult, as far as I can tell. It's not so much the food/not food aspect of the thing, as it is about not letting another creature suffer. If I'm going to treat something as food, I want to kill it swiftly and mercifully, not watch as it agonizes on a sidewalk downtown.

I'd also hesitate to eat something found on the street, even delicious bologna. Maybe that's just me.

Eww. Street bologna. >_<

Blech.
