Default What would you do??

Last night Iput down a 1 1/2 old 8 poiter that was in real real bad shape. I saw him just standing in a cut corn field with a compound fracture to his back leg, his foot on that leg was as nbig as a baseball, he had a huge lump under his belly possibly an absess or some internal injury and he was emaciated to just skin and bones. Was sad to see him suffering.I snuck up to 20 feet without him seeing me so he wouldnt die seeing a human and panic, shot him in the back of the head with my shotgun at about 20 feet, he was put down as quickly and humaly as possible. I know some people would let nature take its course and I have let deer that may not make it through the winter go but this poor little guy was in real bad shape and being an animal lover and hunter I made a decision to do what I thought was the right thing. What would you have done?
