I think I did the right thing

[UndertakerTheGreat]

I'm a volunteer for a wildlife refuge, and looking to work up to pro someday. My neighbor had a bat in his yard earlier. His dogs were harassing it, and he was just going to kill it. I got in touch with the head of the wildlife sanctuary I work for, and asked for instructions. She taught me how to catch , and release it without danger of possible rabies transmission. There IS no way to tell if it was rabid, so it's a gamble really. So I caught it as per her instructions, and released it in a wooded area away from interloping people or pets.
When I returned everybody looked at me like I lost my mind. "Why didn't I just kill it?" They asked. Anybody who knows me well knows I hold life ANY life more sacred than that. I do not swing the blade on anything without just cause. I didn't feel killing it was the answer. So I did what I believed was right, and maybe I saved a life today. Only God will know the outcome from here. But I am not ashamed of my actions, it's just that I don't understand why I get criticized for doing what I am trained as a wildlife worker to do.

Good job, bro. I just ignored the little part where you said "Only god will know what happens from here", lol. Pretty irrelevevant, but whatever. Good job on releasing it though. If I knew what to do, I would've probably done the same thing. No need for it to get killed.

Hmmm... I would elaborate at a later date , but my conception of a "God" is very different than the common interpretation. The easiest way to explain it is I'm more of a Mother Earth/nature believer.More of a spirit that's connected to every living being, than a humanoid being with human consciousness. I don't know if that makes sense , but this old gal has always been labeled as a nut.

No that isn't necessary. I caught it in a way that I never made skin contact with it. Rabies can only be transferred through actual contact with a carrier. I caught it the way my mentor who owns the wildlife refuge taught me. No muss, no fuss, no harm to anyone.

You're like me. I don't work for any type of Wildlife program, but I'm an animal lover. If there's an animal, a baby bird that fell out of a tree for example, and I'm walking with friends and I see it, I stop and try to find the nest and climb the tree before the parents get back. I just like wildlife. I wanted to be a Zoologist, but when I got to 10th grade, I started slacking in school. 3 years after graduation and I'm working at Wal Mart, nothing at all to do with animals.

Good on you, I myself, don't care much for animals. I am bored shitless at a zoo but yeah, you did the right thing I guess.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I say you did the right thing. I don't believe in any harm towards animals. So thumbs up for you.
