Another reason not to clip wings.... A sad story. (Sad update post #19)

I'm sorry.

My parents used to take in dogs and cats that had been going through a bad time. Once my father was talking to a vet about a kitten my father had found. My father said it broke his heart that she'd died just when she'd finally come into a safe harbor. The vet said that sometimes when they were in a bad situation they put all their energy into surviving and then, when they found someone to take care of them, they just let go *because* they were finally safe.

The only thing I can take away from this is the hope that he did let go knowing that he was safe and cared for.

At least he died loved, most likely with pain killers, & out of the hands of those who did this to him, not just initially, but every day for a year through their failure to take action.

Fly free & healed, little Ivar, into eternity. You are loved.

Oh no.. to think he lived for a year like that and only died now

Thank you so much for loving this little guy and allowing him to be at peace when he passed away.

This story makes me think people should need a license to keep birds, just like a drivers of cars. That way the human is required to be tested for bird safety. I know its a far fetched idea with many pitfalls. That is why i have so much respect for Phoenix Landing and their free education.

What makes me angry (aside from the obvious) is that the “owners” can just dump the bird at a rescue, after brutally abusing it - and walk away. They probably never thought about it agin.

What I want to do is go to their house, perhaps with a baseball bat, and tell them the whole story. All about the pain and suffering.

I’ve been watching too many NCIS reruns, haven’t I.

Oh that poor bird, I’m so sorry he didn’t make it.

 

[Lady Jane]

It’s enough to give one nightmares.

 

[CeciliaZ]

I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry, fly free Ivar

 

[Britnicorn]

Oh no... poor little guy at least he got to spend his last days pain free and in good care.

I agree. You might want to throw in having kids as well.

I am so sorry that Ivar died, and even more sorry that he experienced such horrific suffering. I hope that somewhere, he is flying with the wings he always should have had in a perfect sky, free from pain.

Struggling to think of words. I´m so sorry Michelle, but thankyou for sharing his story. Maybe it will make some folks think twice before attempting a DIY clip. Poor little guy living such a dreadful life. No living creature deserves that.

to think he lived for a year like that and only died now

Maybe there was some additional stress by the move, which is a shame. They just don´t understand that the new person wants to help and protect them

I found out that he died from the anesthesia. When I first posted, I thought his surgery wasn't for a couple more days. I later found out that it was yesterday. His pre-surgery bloodwork looked good and the vet thought it would be okay to have the surgery. He died before the surgery started. The vet actually called the rescue crying with the news. Everyone was really rooting for this little guy. There was already interest in adopting him, even though he wouldn't have been available for awhile, and he seemed to be enjoying his foster home. It really is just so heart breaking.

I'm so sorry for this baby, but. Now he is free,,,fly now little one, thank you @sunnysmom for caring.

 

[Zara]

Aww such a shame. I´m sure it has been very emotional for everyone involved

 

[WikiWaz]

@sunnysmom Oh wow, this just makes me...so angry!! How can people not take their pet to see a doctor when there is an obvious wound?!
