I feel bad for them, I really do. I don't even like watching a mouse get eaten by a snake.
But there's just no way to keep my cats in, they zip out the doors. And if the dog runs up on it like that, and it decides not to play dead, they could get bit. It could have also had rabies. And my little Amber kitty likes to sleep right out there where they live.
Already called Houston for help, they won't do anything. So unfortunately, they gotta die.
