Hope this poor animal gets back on his feet. We can't afford to lose another one And on a lighter note can't they do something about the other two legged ones that also need medical attention?

Its much better to put his poor animal out of its misery, without further torturing it by trying to lift it mechanically. It looks like help did come too late for this poor animal.
