Poor thing, hope it finds a better home ...

Yes, hence me saying it would be good to give it a decent place to die instead of...that. Obviously this person is a bad owner and this sav is in bad shape. That's not a secret. My point was that, even though it hurts to take in an animal that's probably not going to make it and watch it die, at least it can die in a place that's better than it was in. A final act of kindness is better than none at all.

I feel as though that is giving the bad owner an easy way out... why should another person have to take the burden of watching this animal die? It is going to suffer no matter where it is... why A) relieve the jerk of this burden
and
B) reward him for it by giving him money?!

So you're saying let the animal suffer more in its last little bit of life just to punish the owner (who probably doesn't even care)? Wow. Okay. We're done here.
