This morning my cat  attacked a dove, the wing had been destroyed, I
believed the dove was dead. so I put it in a plastic bag.
Later in the morning my daughter went to put it in the bin! Unfortunately it
was alive. She screamed out to me.
I (deep breath) tried to wring it's neck, didn't work, so I  hit it's neck
with a spade the sand was too soft. Finally on the paving it was over.
I can't stop crying. I just wish I could have done a quick job.
What's the quickest way to humanely do this?
I don't have a man in my life so I have to face this on my own...
Thankyou for your help

I remember having chooks when I was younger. One got sick and my father
decided to put it out of its misery. He decided to be humane as possible and
grabbed a mallet. Unfortunately it took a lot of hits to do the job.

So don't feel bad about it just remember the next time to make it quick.

Gas it with the car exhaust if you cant work out how to wring its neck.

You use a grey water hose on the car exhaust and do it with a cold engine.

Thats how they dispose of starlings and indian mynahs caught in traps etc.

With a single bird, its even easier to just put the bag over the
car exhaust with some sticky tape etc and a few holes in the bag.
