On our walk this morning, Dignan and I stumbled upon this injured opossum. He was breathing heavily and had some blood near his ear. It looked like his eye was swelled shut and his nose was mangled. I couldn't just leave him there so I called Animal Control. The officer called me later to let me know he had picked up the animal but now I'm racked with guilt. What if they just put him to sleep? I'm okay with it if he was so injured that he cannot be healed and if he was in pain but I hope they don't just automatically kill him. Poor baby.
