Threatened, ok, but this wasn't immediate but at least 1-2 days lead time. If she'd been taken to transportation or a public shelter or something and still died I would feel it was her time but if I just left her behind to die... I'd have no worth as a member of humanity because I'd have left it all behind.
This is absolutely appalling. What in the world has happened to people? Geesh, I'd throw away ANYTHING to make room for a human being.
