They conceded - based on huge levels of medical knowledge and a profound understanding of medical ethics - that his death was inevitable and allowed it to happen while ensuring he suffered as little as possible.
A baby bird falls out of the tree. It is clearly badly injured, in shock and too young to survive alone. Its parents cannot save it and it is merely a question of how and when it dies - not if. What is the ethical course of action?
What if, as you about to stamp on his head, a vet rings and says its a long shot but he might be able to save it? What do you do?
Asking that question implies it is potentially an option. Case closed.
Unfortunately, its too late and the bird is now dead.
But why did you phone the vet? the bird wasn't injured it had just fallen out of its nest... i suspect you tried to kill it and felt guilty you heartless *******

I didn't phone the vet. He just happened to hear about it.
Its that Irish one that does all the weird surgery and makes metal legs for dogs.

Ahhh, so he was doing it for publicity and his next series then... I suspect the bird didn't fall and he had placed it on the ground and just hoped you didn't stamp on its head
