Alright guys. I've got a story that's made me both feel really bad but hold a certain admiration for animals.
I'm sitting down to eat some dinner and look out to my garden and I see feathers. Lots of feathers all spread out in an erratic fashion, as if something had been attacked. I asked my mum what the fuck just happened and she told me this;
My brother went out to smoke today and saw a pigeon being absolutely ripped into by this huge hawk. It had ripped its wings off mercilessly and when my brother came out, it flew away scared. Wingless, this pigeon managed to get the fuck up, bleeding and in agony and went round to the side bit at my house blocked by a gate. He went in to tell my mum and came back out and this fucking pigeon managed to climb through the gate and onto my neighbor's doorstep.
When she came home, there was no pigeon and we thought it vanished, leaving a lot of blood on her doorstep. It appeared out of nowhere at the top of my driveway and crawled to another neighbor's house, somebody who works with animals and took it inside. Apparently, she'd gone to the vet with it but I have no idea.
I feel horrible that I couldn't have done anything for this poor creature that I never saw but the fact that it managed to go around with ripped off wings, that's determination. I don't know what to do right now, if there's anything I can help the situation. I don't know if this bird is still alive or if it's been put down but damnit, I want to fucking do something. There's always a chance to help and I just... don't know. What do you guys think I should do?
I'm 19 BTW, so don't mind the whole "living with parents" shit.
Pic kinda related, an avian is an avian, even with a dapper hat.

Let the vet do what he can - he's the professional.

I doubt the pidgeon would get the same out of any emotional you'd show as a person would.

I just feel very compassionate towards animals or any living thing. That pigeon was a tough motherfucker, to have its wings ripped off and still managed, out of all skittishness I see them have around humans, to get to two doorsteps over about 2 hours and still manage to stay alive. Kinda makes me feel it deserves any help I can give it. I'd help it even if it didn't though.

There used to be this cat that would wander around in our garden every so often. Sometimes when we spotted him, we'd leave out a bowl of cream or buy a little tin of cat-food. He had no collar or tags, was kinda scruffy and feral-looking, but seemed comfortable enough around humans and being petted. So one winter's day he comes around again with a big gash on his head, with mucus going out of his nose, tears from the eyes, and what I think was regular coughing. I decide to let the cat inside and call the nearest animal shelter, and this guy comes to pick him up.

He wasn't keen on getting into the hand-held cage thing, but was much complient than the shelter guy expected. So I ask the guy what they'll do with him, and he rather nonchalantly tells me they might just put him down.

My guts churned at that point, and I asked him to get the people at the shelter to call me and let me know what they were doing.

They never called...

one time i shot a pidgeon with a bb gun in the wing and he hid behind the recycling bin in my front yard. i went up and shot him again point blank in the head. he didnt die and ran off under my car. i shot him again through the neck and he still didnt die just ran off under my neigbors car. i shot him again this time hit him in the chest. still didnt drop. i shot him over and over and over and he WOULD NOT FUCKING DIE. he eventually went back under my car and i said fuck it this birds invincible. the next day there was this huge pile of bird shit and blood where he had been sitting overnight and i felt bad.

God damn. I'll never understand a child's desire to kill animals. I felt bad if I walked on an ant hill by accident as a kid.

This is more depressing than Emo_Duck's story.
You were (and are) a sick fuck, Anon.

You felt bad, yet you were the one going around and fucking shooting the thing over and over and over in order to kill it. People like you should be fucking euthanized.

So here I was about to rip into this awesome dinner I just caught and finished prepping/pulling feathers/what not, when this big 'ol dude comes outta now where. Like seriously, there was a wall then this big guy. Anyway he comes at me all teary eyed trying to steal my dinner. I decide to get the heck outta there before it eats me too and as I look back he just stands there and lets my dinner walk off into some neighbors house. He didnt even eat it!?!?! The nerve of some guys

The desire to harm animals in children is usually a sign of sociopathy or psychopathy, in other words, a sign of a pathological lack in empathy. And I'm not making this up to troll people, it's an actual psychological fact.

Yes and no. It often is, but younger children- about six and under, and sometimes older- often have trouble grasping the concept that other things can feel pain and will do terrible things to insects and small rodents and kittens and other small and helpless things. It's when this nasty habit continues and turns from simple curiosity into genuine pleasure that one should get seriously worried.
