Well, we have been feeding it and I would do it again. I would feed a hungry person and sure as heck would feed a hungry dog or cat. If they chose to stay around then I would continue to feed them. The problem here is now the critter is sick and looks to be dying a slow death and if I knew someone who had a gun and would be willing to end her suffering then I would have no qualms about doing it...just do not have a person in mind. I pray for all God's animals who don't have a home.
