I was working to save a Scarlet Tanager (bird) once that had a broken leg. I had it cast, and it was doing fine, but I felt the need to check with a vet to see whether I had set the leg correctly.

Well... the vet accidentally dropped the bird! It thumped onto the floor pretty hard, and died about an hour later.

I know it was an accident... the vet felt terrible about it.

Kitkat,

I was rehabbing a robin with a head injury, and the day I was going to release it choked on nightcrawler..

What self respecting robin chokes on a worm?

Hey. **** happens, I once drowned a Caiman I was supposed to be caring for!....Don't ask!

It's hard not to ask.. lol

Aren't they pretty hard to drown?..

Along the same lines, my friend was gathering up some animals to bring to the county fair.. He had his prize winning rooster, and his prize winning ram. And as we starting loading them up, the rooster starts attacking the ram. After about five minutes of getting kicked in the face, the ram very quickly and calmly mashed the rooster into the ground. One headbutt.

Yeah, it shouldn't have been funny.. but I won't lie. The rooster totally started it.
