I was worried that you would publicly announce the answer to feral cat problem. Truth is, and as shocking as it is to some folks, when people pay for a complete litter of pups or kittens to be euthanized and I am the one who usually performs the deed, I always think of the soon to be departed nutrition value and wonder how difficult it would be to get a snake off a prey item that might be superior. Having said one of my true thoughts it makes me wonder how someone like myself who has perserved the companion animal relationship for 21 yrs could even entertain such an idea. Honestly...it is my perverse reaction to the emotions and spiritual beliefs that produces such a deep trench within my heart and soul that causes me to basically make light of the situation at hand.....however I can to "protect" my inner beliefs. It is much easier for me to be accused of "dark sarcasism" than to try and extinguish my vulnerability.
As some of you know, I work as a Veterinary Technician. Being sensitive in nature, I often (almost daily) have a really difficult time trying to balance what I think is right with what I think should be right. Maybe it's not so strange to be so captivated by my captive reptiles....the rules are almost always the same and I can do it without a bunch of uncontrolled factors. ....now you folks know me too well.
