scarlettohara Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I just had to cull one of the millies, she ran out of the run door as I was closing it and got crushed, I held her for a while but she was suffering. Never done it before - I am so cross with myself, I know it was an accident and they are silly and flighty but I feel awful and stupid. Had to come to work and keep welling up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickcluck Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 OH that's terrible for you! I can't imagine how you are feeling. But you've obviously done the right thing, I'm not sure I would be so brave. They are so very fast, it was an accident and nothing should have to suffer. Bigs hugs....

Plum Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 You will do but accidents happen to all of us. I don't know if it could be prevented they just whizz around sometimes. If it's any comfort you need to feel rotten to get it out of your system and come to terms with whats happened. I am just full of admiration that you were able to cull her.

Alis girls Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Big hug from down the road - at least you were able to cull her I would have panicked and wouldnt have a clue - brave and compassionate lady - Ali x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Accidents happen, so don't beat yourself up. Well done on taking prompt action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I agree wholeheartedly with Egluntyne; these things happen to the best of us. Its not easy but you did it, you didn't pass the responsibility onto somebody else. I'm sending hugs until you don't need them anymore.
