Keeley:

fix the sentence "A desision is made by the zoo staff that a certain cat is in to much pain to have a good life, when the life of that cat is humanely ended." I really need help with this and fast before my mom gets home so I don't get grounded for a month.

The problem with the original sentence is that the portion "when the life of that cat is humanely ended" seems to be an introductory preposition to a sentence, rather than a conclusion. I recommend reading the sentence out loud to yourself and to others so that you can get a sense of how well it flows. If it feels clunky, then chances are the sentence needs fixing. There are a number of ways to fix the sentence. One correction is "The zoo staff decided that if the animal is in too much pain, then the staff will end the animal's life".
