I discovered two kittens living on my back porch earlier today, and it's evident that their mother must have abandoned them. They appear to be starving, and freaked out when I gave them some left over meatloaf and milk. I feel sorry for them, and can't stand to see an animal suffer, so I want to put them down.. but I feel guilty at the thought of beating them to death, drowning them or even shooting a tiny kitten with a handgun.
Has anyone else had to deal with this, and how did you do it?
