+193 My 4 year old sister (who loves animals) saw my dog catch a baby bird. It was dying so I took her into the house and later put it in the trash. She thinks that the bird's mom came and got it to make it better. I don't like lying to her about the way the world is, but I did the right thing just letting her think she was right, amirite?

You put the baby bird in the trash??!!! WTH that is horrible, just bury it, let it decay in nature. Yuck I'm disgusted.

I think it would have been better to let her learn about death, and how it's inevitable. On another note, did you even try to save the bird, or did you just decide it was a lost cause and threw it into the trash? :/

I just didn't have the heart to tell her. Call me a wimp or whatever you want but I just couldn't make her cry when she was being so sweet. There wasn't anything I could do for the bird. It was dead in like two minutes so I wouldn't have had time to take it to a vet or anything. And I don't have any kind of medical knowledge about birds so I couldn't have done anything myself. Poor bird... :(

aww...hey man, im on your side. that was really sweet. shes a little kid, she'll learn its a harsh world on her own. she doesnt need anything or one to push her to the conclusion too soon, making her hard and cynical like those morons up there ^. you did the right thing.
