I have a big heart but I honestly would have released the garter also
there is only so much we can do...
I think the hardest thing I ever had to do was two years ago I was walking on my road and i found a huge female garter snake, her entire back half totally flattened. The front half was still trying desperately to get away. I actually cried. But I put her out of her misery and I buried her. I won't go into any more detail because I am actually tearing up thinking about it
