I feel like crying because...

[LouLou07]

Well my dad picked me up from horse riding, and had parked the wrong way so we had to go up the road to the turning point. When we got there I saw a wild rabbit in the middle of the road, it was moving around a bit but didn't run away. So I asked my dad if I could take it home and take it to the RSPCA and he said no. I decided to at least make it move out of the road and onto the grass. It wasn't putting any weight on its right hind leg, probably broke it. So I got it to limp onto the grass and now I'm upset about it, especially as I could have helped it.

Oh thats terrible LouLou. Maybe your Dad didn'nt want to pick it up for a reason. He may have thought it had mitsymatosis (I can't spell that) and as you have rabbits of your own it may have infected them. It is very sad when you know you cane help but are unable to. I do feel for you. Hopefully - and this is gonna sound REALLY harsh - the rabbit has been killed by a fox or something, at least it would have been quick and it's been put out of it's pain and misery. I know this isn't much comfort. Chin up though hun, nature has a way of caring for herslf.

Well my mum and dad are divorced and my mum was at a meeting for her work, so I text her saying:
"I was goin to rescue it but dad wouldn't let me"
And she said:
"I'm sorry. I would have done"

I'm not sure if she meant I would have rescued it, but the one time she doesn't pick me up I see a hurt animal.

Yeah, it would be better if it had of been killed, but then again maybe someone did rescue it after me.

awww the poor rabbit .............. but its not your fault if your dad wouldnt let you and someone else might find it hopefully

Aww, I'm right there with you. Your dad probably said no 'cause it's not your job to do that sort of thing. Normally, when an animal is hurt, it gets very protective and doesn't want anyone to touch it. Kinda like a mother bear and her cubs. Or because, as Mash said, it could have had some diesese that would harm you, too. You could have gone back to the stable and call a vet or the RSPCA.

But I've seen animals on the side of the road in not very good health and you just have to drive by if you can't help. Sure, moveing it is great! But, if your not trained to take such actions, I wouldn't have touched it. Who knows, you could have caused more pain for it.

Aw
You must remember, though, that bunnies don't have doctors unless we take them there. When animals in the wild suffer an injury that makes it so they can't put weight on a leg - especially prey - is usually helpless. Nature has it's reasons for making death a better option than life, even if we don't know what they are.
I'm glad you tried to help

Also, about what your mom said... Was she saying that because she meant it or because she wants to seem like the 'better person?' I know of a lot of kids with divorced parents who are constantly trying to outdo the other parent o.o;;; Silly as it is, was she serious or just trying to make you want her to pick you up more often than your dad? (You don't actually have to respond to this as it's a rather personal question.)

[PinkStar]

Aww.. Is your dad like against animals?? Is he a good dad bc if he would not ant to help some cute animal, would he help you?? Be tough about it!! Next time you see an animal call your mother and make her talk to dad.

You can't save them all *pats on the back* I have to agree with mash, it probably made a very nice dinner for a fox, the rabbit didn't die for nothing. It was probably quick ans relitivly painless.
