Here in Costa Rica, was driving up in the San Carlos area and a truck hits a vulture in mid air, poor thing lands right in front of my car. I go to check on him and he's basically a goner, basically no movement, no struggle, just kinda gasping for air, literally dying right there. It was an area where I couldnt take it to a vet (way too rural) and basically left with one of two things...leave him there to die (which could take hours and hours if not more) or whack him on the head and kill him instantly. I love animals like you have no idea so this was a very tough thing to do but I went back to my car, took out a hard metallic handle and just whacked him as hard as I could on the head. Just in case, I whacked him a few more times just to make sure he was dead. Very very saddening experience but I hope I did the right thing. Lord knows how long he would have suffered for if just left there.

Has anything similar happened to any of you?
