Man, I hate to see ANY animal suffer. That's why I have personal range limits for shots. If at all possible, I strive for them not to know what hit them. I feel I owe them that effort.

Turpentine21, the cops are not allowed to put them out of their misery, either.

Could be wrong, but I'd wager you'd have to look a long time before you find a LEO that would cite someone for safely and humanely putting down a suffering animal. At least I hope that's true.
I'm not sure of the specific guidelines, but I rolled up on a deer vehicle collision and the cop on scene pulled his side arm and put the deer out of its misery in the middle of the street. It's the right thing to do.
Pretty sure our highway patrol here in our county do put them out of their misery. I just usually call my buddy from DNR real quick, tell him what's going on, and he says do what you have to do. If he doesn't answer I leave him a message and do it anyway. A short video is also good idea. It's not like it's something I want to do. It's simply the right thing to do for the animals sake. It's not like I'm out there poaching with a sub compact 45 caliber Glock on the side of a busy road.
