It's worth putting an appropriately strong word on death.

An appropriately strong word on the death of an already mauled sparrow? Euthanize is already giving the matter sombre dignity. It's a step up from 'squilch'.

To clarify, it was not mauled. It was missing feathers, and had some cuts, but no bones broken or mortal wounds.
